Full time
Be a part of a revolutionary change
At PMI, we’ve chosen to do something different and disruptive. We’re transforming our business and building our future on smoke-free products (SFPs) and evolving our portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. One clear purpose - to deliver a smoke-free future.
With huge change, comes huge opportunity. So, wherever you join us, you’ll enjoy the freedom to dream up and deliver better, brighter solutions and the space to move your career forward in endlessly different directions.

We have stakeholders to talk to and brave new messages to share. We need talented people who are also excited by our sense of purpose to help expand our advocacy towards legislators, civil society, interested 3rd party stakeholders, think tanks, national governments, and public policymakers.
As our work evolves, there’s space to define your role and satisfy your professional curiosity. You’ll be working within the broader Public Policy & Economic Research team in External Affairs (EA), as well as across functions surrounded and supported by experts in everything from fiscal policy, customs policy, regulatory/product policy, environmental policy, public affairs, economic research, and illicit trade.
