Ideal Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is a hands-on CRM operator from a regulated iGaming environment who has personally managed and optimized player journeys and promotional campaigns inside a CRM platform. This is not a purely strategic or agency-management role; Pure is a lean launch team, and the CRM Manager must be comfortable being in the platform daily while also thinking commercially about player value, retention, reinvestment and long-term program performance. This person should be entrepreneurial, analytical, compliance-minded and highly execution-oriented. They should understand the casino and sports betting categories, have a genuine interest in the player experience, and be able to translate product, promotional, retail and data opportunities into practical CRM activity. They should be comfortable taking direction, collaborating across online and retail teams, raising recommendations constructively and operating with urgency in a fast-moving launch environment. The successful candidate will also be expected to participate in required provincial training, including responsible gambling, AML, privacy and any other regulatory or operational training required for the role.
