At PMI, we’ve chosen to do something incredible. We’re totally transforming our business and building our future on 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 new directions.

Sales and Marketing at PMI feels like building a new business - but with the accumulated expertise of a global brand behind you. Bring us your curiosity and capacity to engage people and you can be part of the digital, omni-channel team that’s driving our huge commercial transformation.
