Manager Public Affairs

Be a part of a revolutionary change.

At PMI, we’re transforming our business to deliver a smoke-free future. This transformation creates exciting opportunities for people who want to make an impact, innovate, and grow their careers in new and meaningful ways.

External Affairs is at the heart of this journey. As the way we engage with society evolves, we need talented professionals who are motivated by purpose and eager to help shape conversations with policymakers, legislators, government authorities, associations, health professionals, and other key stakeholders.

The challenge

As Public Affairs Manager, you will support Tabaqueira’s Corporate Affairs Leadership Team in building and maintaining a strong network of stakeholders across government institutions, regulatory bodies, associations, NGOs, and EU institutions. You will monitor political and regulatory developments, anticipate changes that may impact the business, and contribute to the preparation of position papers, advocacy materials, and engagement plans.

Working closely with the Director of External Affairs and the wider team, you will help implement short, medium, and long-term External Affairs strategies, ensuring stakeholder initiatives are aligned with business priorities and issues management objectives. You will maintain an up-to-date stakeholder mapping, identify emerging opportunities and risks, support the development of PMI and Tabaqueira narratives on key business topics, and provide guidance to ensure initiatives and materials remain aligned with company policies and External Affairs strategy.

You will also contribute to strengthening advocacy capabilities and representing PMI before external stakeholders while ensuring that all activities are fully compliant with PMI’s Code of Conduct, internal policies, and Portuguese legislation.

Who we’re looking for

You hold a degree in Economics, Law, Political Science, or a related field, and have between 3 and 6 years of relevant experience in External Affairs, public affairs, government relations, consulting, NGOs, FMCG companies, or similar environments. Experience in highly regulated industries is considered an advantage.

You have a strong understanding of the political landscape and the interaction between business, regulatory bodies, and national and international institutions. You are fluent in Portuguese and English, have excellent relationship-building skills, and are comfortable working in a dynamic and evolving environment.

We offer a permanent local contract, a competitive salary, and an attractive benefits package that includes life and health insurance, a pension plan, and an education allowance. You will join a challenging and collaborative environment with strong learning, growth, and career development opportunities within a global organization.

Our success depends on talented people who bring a sense of purpose and a passion for progress every day. By joining PMI, you will have the freedom to shape your future, work alongside diverse and talented colleagues, develop your skills in a global business, and contribute to our ambition of delivering a smoke-free future.

At PMI, we foster an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed. We actively promote diversity and inclusion through our Employee Resource Groups, covering areas such as age, disability, LGBTQ+, race and ethnicity, and parenthood. We are proud to champion equal opportunities and to be the first global company to achieve Equal Salary Certification, reinforcing our commitment to fairness and inclusion for all.
