Excellent opportunity to join Betsson Group as our new full time CRM Manager – Sportsbook Retention.

THE WOW

Betsson Group is seeking a self-driven and detail-oriented CRM expert with a “can-do” attitude to join our Global CRM & Engagement department. This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of an amazing team of CRM and sports enthusiasts.

In this role you are accountable for the successful end-to-end delivery of below the line (BTL) Sportsbook retention campaigns and communications across a variety of the group’s brands and markets. You will be measured on your ability to impact top-line KPIs; your main objectives are to increase retention, prevent churn, drive upsell and ultimately improve the overall player experience and lifetime value.

The Challenge

• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with the Support team to optimise campaign customer journeys to reduce contact-drivers.
• Stakeholder Reporting: Provide reporting to senior stakeholders on the success of lifecycle activities, demonstrating a deep understanding of what motivates Sportsbook customers.
