At PMI, we’ve chosen to do something incredible!

IT at PMI
PMI’s journey to a smoke-free future implies a shift from a tobacco manufacturer to a science and technology-based consumer facing organisation.
Such a shift creates an abundance of unique and progressive IT projects to match all levels of skills and ambitions. You’ll feel like you’re working in a start-up – with the freedom to shape and define the future of digital, but with the support and scope of a vast global business. You’ll get a chance to work with innovative technologies (e.g., Cloud, APIs, AI) as well as management practices (e.g., Agile, Design Thinking, Product Management). Our environment is fast-paced and highly collaborative. If you want the freedom to find new ways to connect with consumers, there’s no better place to progress your career.
Digital at PMI is dynamic, diverse, and innovative. Join us and become a part of a top talent team where you can bring new ideas to life in a global function that is a key driver of the success of our business.
The Solution Architect - Digital Content Services is responsible for architecting next generation content supply chain solution using industry leading technology stack. This includes but not limited to DAM (AEM Assets), Adobe Workfront, Digital Rights Management Solution and Adobe Creative cloud etc.
As a part of this position, you will be working closely with Manager IT – Digital Content Services and our business partners who will define the business systems strategies and requirements. This exciting role will lead the team to design the next gen content supply chain solutions, supporting business objectives in a global environment.
This will require a clear understanding of the current and future state architecture, using the full potential of the products invested, designing the integration of all possible solutions in line with business vision, adhering to standard best practices.
Your role is not only to design and architect, but also to understand in detail what is being asked, what is being built and how, all the dependencies between products, as well as making sure that all the functional and non-functional requirements are considered while maintaining the quality of the design. You should have a clear vision of the effort needed to achieve the design.
Primary goals
You are steadfast in your pursuit of excellence, even when that means challenging the status-quo. You are the champion of delivering solutions that meet the needs of the business design team and are loved by your users and customers. You’ll be acutely aware that transformation requires a ‘roll up the sleeves’ mentally.
