Shape a smoke-free future?

Challenge accepted.

About us

Times are changing at Philip Morris Limited. We’ve chosen to do something big. We’re transforming our entire business in order to deliver our vision of a smoke-free future, creating products with the power to improve the lives of legal-aged smokers across the world.

Our transformation is revolutionising every area of our business. The products we sell. Where we sell them. How they’re made and delivered. The way we talk to our customers and engage with society.

As you take your first steps, you’ll have the backing and stability of a multinational business which is committed to driving change and innovation. You’ll bring a positive mind-set and fresh perspective to projects that will make a significant difference to the way we work, and to the lives of our customers.

About the EVOLV Graduate Accelerator Programme

EVOLV is our UK-based, 18-month graduate accelerator programme that’s designed to fast-track you and your career. We've built EVOLV to challenge and develop ambitious young people, personally and professionally.

After your induction and onboarding, you’ll carry out three assignments, all of which will provide you with a deep understanding of our business. Initially, you’ll get experience in both commercial and strategic functions, followed by a managerial role in one of our UK teams.

When you complete each assignment, we’ll carry out a performance review for you to share your successes, learnings, and identify your development goals.

While the detail of the work involved and the assignments vary each year, past EVOLV graduates have worked in:

• Field roles in sales and business development
• Consumer experience
• Digital communications, advertising and ecommerce
• Supply chain
• Project management
• Marketing and Category
• Data and Analytics
• Finance
• IT
• People and Culture (Human Resources)

At the end of the EVOLV programme, dependent on your performance, we’ll work internally to understand our business needs, and where you’ll have the best opportunity for success. We’ll compliment your strengths by matching your capabilities with the most current – and relevant – business opportunities.
