Head of Sports Product

The future of gaming in Finland is changing – and we’re recruiting. In 2027, the Finnish license market will open, bringing a new era for iGaming. At Veikkaus, we’re preparing for this transformation - and we’re looking for passionate professionals to join us on this exciting journey.

We’re strengthening our Betting and iCasino teams with true iGaming experts: people with international experience, a hunger for success, and a persistent drive to win. If you’re ready to help shape the future of responsible, competitive money gaming, now is the time to join us.

We are looking for a Head of Sports Product to lead the strategic development, product management and customer experience of Veikkaus’ Sportsbook. This is a permanent, full-time position where you’ll oversee product vision, growth initiatives, and customer engagement for some of the most visible products of Veikkaus’ digital offering.

As part of the Sportsbook leadership team, you’ll play a crucial role in driving product excellence, market competitiveness, and responsible entertainment for our players.

  • Leading the Sports Product & Growth organization.
  • Owning the sportsbook roadmap and collaboration with external and internal stakeholders across Sports products.
  • Driving commercial initiatives to maximize engagement and retention.
  • Ensuring a seamless and enjoyable customer experience across all channels.

  • You have worked in a licensed or competitive market environment.
  • A deep understanding of sports betting products, customer behavior, and market dynamics,
  • Excellent stakeholder and leadership skills, with the ability to align commercial, trading, tech, and marketing perspectives into one clear product vision.
  • A strategic mindset to shape the long-term roadmap — and the hands-on drive to make it happen.
  • A genuine passion for sports and for creating products and experiences that customers love to engage with every day.

How Success Will Be Measured

  • Growth in active and retained customers.
  • Product and campaign performance (engagement, conversion, ROI).
  • Delivery of roadmap initiatives and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Contribution to Veikkaus’ long-term sportsbook transformation and market leadership.

We offer:

  • A workplace where the game evolves – and so do you. You’ll face meaningful challenges and gain new skills while contributing to shared success – in Finland and beyond. We value curiosity and create the space for it to thrive.
  • Inspiring and supportive teammates you can rely on. The best ideas and world-class entertainment are built together – and Veikkaus thrives because of its people.
  • Balanced and inspiring work life. At Veikkaus, we believe a good job adds something to life – but isn’t all there is to it.
