Movement. Teamplay. Next-level entertainment. Activate Games is bringing a whole new kind of gaming experience to Finland—where physical activity, interactive technology, and teamwork come together.
We’re now looking for a
STORE MANAGER
to launch and lead the very first Activate Games location in Finland – in Helsinki – and to build a success story that will soon expand to other cities.
What is Activate?
Originally from Canada, Activate is an interactive game center where players challenge themselves and each other in high-energy game rooms that combine movement, puzzles, and teamwork. The concept has become a hit in North America – and now it’s time to expand to the Nordics. Helsinki will be our first Finnish location.
In this role, you will…
- Lead the day-to-day operations of our Helsinki location – especially during the launch phase, you’ll be hands-on, working alongside your team to deliver an amazing customer experience.
- Recruit, train, and inspire your team: 2–3 Team Leads and 15–20 part-time Game Facilitators.
- Ensure world-class customer service and uphold Activate’s international standards in our new market.
- Build B2B partnerships: Bring Activate into the world of team-building events and drive local corporate sales.
- Own the operational flow – scheduling, inventory, maintenance, reporting, and ensuring daily excellence.
- Act as the face of our brand in Finland – and take pride in the experience you and your team deliver.
This role is for you if you…
- Are customer- and results-oriented with an entrepreneurial spirit – you thrive in a fast-paced environment and take pride in your work.
- Have leadership experience in events, entertainment, hospitality, or a similar service-focused field – you’ve built motivated teams and love being active on the floor.
- Know how to organize, scale, and improve operations – balancing day-to-day needs with long-term development.
- Have experience or interest in B2B sales and building partnerships – the concept is perfect for team events and group activities.
- Speak fluent Finnish and English, and are open to some travel (including a two-week onboarding trip to Canada when starting the role).
What we offer
- Be part of something new: This is a launch role – you’ll shape what success looks like for Activate Games in Finland.
- Growth opportunities: The company is expanding across the Nordics, and this role offers real career development potential.
- A varied and exciting role: Every day is different – combining leadership, customer service, and sales.
- Team and impact: Build your own team from the ground up and shape the work culture into something that engages and inspires.
- An international support network: You’ll have the support of the Scandinavian Regional Leader and Activate Games’ global team – even if you’re the first one on the ground in Finland, you won’t be alone.
