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 transformative 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.

Vision for Information Technology (IT)

To enable achievement of the above, we need an IT organization focused on the consumer. We also need new capabilities and different ways of working both across functions and between the headquarters and markets.

PMI’s technology capabilities will be fundamental to success. As a technology function, our purpose is to create the conditions to enable change. In order to succeed in this transformation, the IT organization must evolve:
• From a service provider to a partner with technical/digital capabilities fully aligned to the business capabilities we are building;
• From a federated structure supporting local, regional and functional priorities towards a global IT platforms and solutions approach, aligned to PMI’s global strategy;
• From a fragmented processes and applications landscape to standardized processes, centralized applications at the backend and freedom to innovate on consumer experience with speed at local level;
• From heavy dependence on our external partners, towards an operating model which enables both efficiency through outsourcing where it makes sense, yet a clear intent to differentiate through building key capabilities in house.
