"JTI is like a sailing team - there's always a real team spirit and determination to make things happen."
Here at JTI, success is definitely a team effort. From regions to markets to different functions, we encourage diverse talent collaborations and cross-functional projects.
Meet Tom, our Legal team lead in Canada, who, outside the work enjoys running half marathons and spending quality time with his two daughters. Tom feels motivated by having a positive influence on the business, the challenging nature of the industry, and the international opportunities at JTI, which have taken him from the UK to HQ in Geneva, and now Canada in his 11 years with the company.
"As the Head of the Legal Team here in Canada, I get involved in the most serious regulatory challenges that we face," says Tom, "It's important, particularly in a market like this, which is so highly regulated, that legal plays a central role in all of the strategic decisions that the business makes. We look for the opportunities, we look to accelerate growth, but we also, of course, look to make sure that everything we do is fully compliant."
Team Pride / Supportive Leadership
"There's a lot that goes on in JTI, but there's always a real team spirit and determination to make things happen. Anywhere you go within in JTI, there's just this aura - we have smart people, likeable people, driven people, who really do make a massive difference to everybody's day-to-day at work." At JTI, we bring together high-potential employees and experienced leaders to provide valuable guidance and support for the successful leadership and career development of our employees.
