Be a part of a revolutionary change

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 different directions.

Corporate Communications is a growing team, full of fresh opportunities. Our smoke-free transformation is completely changing the way we engage. 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 influence - on the media, legislators, health professionals, national governments and public policy-makers.

As our work evolves, there's space to define your role and satisfy your professional curiosity.

You'll be working across functions surrounded and supported by experts in everything from fiscal affairs and illicit trade to sustainability and public health legislation.

Join us and use your relationship-building skills for good: to deliver a smoke-free future.


The purpose of this role is to lead the development and implementation of an integrated regulatory, fiscal, scientific engagement, sustainability, political and stakeholder engagement strategy, intended to eliminate unfair competition, build and strengthen stakeholder alliances, increase awareness, understanding and support to SPF, and support the business long term stability and profitability.

Engage and have a good relationship with authorities from the Executive and Legislative branches, key opinion leaders, chambers, associations and media to avoid unreasonable regulation that may affect the company's interests.

All, while building the right political environment and societal support for the introduction and/or expansion of SFPs in Costa Rica & Nicaragua.
