sfm Business Development ManagerJapan Tobacco International

We're JTI, Japan Tobacco International, and we believe in freedom.
We think that the possibilities are limitless when you're free to choose. We've spent the last 20 years innovating and creating new and better products for our consumers to choose from. It's how we've grown to be present in 130 countries, and how we've grown from 40 to 4,000+ employees in the Philippines since 2009.
But our business isn't just business, our business is our people. Their talent. Their potential. We believe that when they're free to be themselves, to grow, travel and develop, amazing things can happen for our business. That's why our employees, from around the world, choose to be a part of JTI. It's why 9 out of 10 would recommend us to a friend, and why we've been recognized as INVESTORS IN PEOPLE in the Philippines.
So when you're ready to choose a career you'll love, in a company you'll love, feel free to #JoinTheIdea.
