We’ve built the world’s most successful cigarette company, with the world’s most popular and iconic brands. Now we’ve made a dramatic decision. We will be far more than a leading cigarette company. We’re building PMI’s future on smoke-free products that are a much better choice than cigarette smoking.
Be part of the biggest transformation in the history of our company.
We have an opportunity for a Corporate Senior Auditor in our offices in Poland.

The Team

Our transformation is not only changing what we are like on the inside – it’s about building a working environment that is more agile, more engaged with our customers, and more open to suppliers and external talent, partners, networks and communities.
You will experience the broad spectrum of PMI markets and business cycles, across a wide variety of cultural environments. This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic organization delivering the highest quality audit services and providing high-level talent for future development in the group.
Corporate Audit at PMI operates across all markets and business functions for both our conventional and Reduced Risk Products. You will experience different cultural aspects as you gain a perspective of the entire company and its business processes.
Corporate Audit is an independent function within PMI providing senior management and the board of directors with oversight and governance over PMI global operations.

The Role

Senior Corporate auditors are part of a global audit function based in 6 PMI locations, responsible for executing audits across PMI businesses worldwide. Senior Auditors also perform fit gap analysis and risk assessments over key business activities while establishing and maintaining risk-based audit programs.
Our audit teams are dealing with issues that are fundamentally important to the survival and prosperity of our organization. They look beyond financial risks to consider broader issues such as the organization’s reputation, growth, its impact on the environment and the way it treats its employees. Senior Auditors also assess how well company systems and processes are designed to keep the organization on track but also helping to improve those systems and processes where necessary.

Senior auditors are tasked with the additional responsibilities of supporting the Senior Audit Managers in managing the day to day activities of audit teams, preparing audit reports, participating in the enterprise risk assessment, and contributing to the development of auditors as they execute audit activities across PMI. They also participate in departmental projects and initiatives to contribute to the overall improvement and development of audit practices.
