"JTI is like a colorful house — it's made of a variety of shapes that go well together. » 

At JTI, you'll have the opportunity to get to know people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. Our inclusive culture means everyone can feel welcomed within our global, diverse team.

Yuya started his career within the JT Group in Japan in 2010, transferred to JTI and moved to Geneva in 2016. That was quite a life-changing shift! From the language to the culture and ways of working, everything changed. What made a difference and helped with the move was the support and assistance he received from his colleagues, who quickly became Yuya’s friend circle. Thanks to this and culture in his team, he was able to grow more. At JTI, our leadership mindset is focused on trusting and empowering each employee to develop and thrive throughout their career. Everyone can grow within JTI, through a functional move, developing more competencies within their current role, or changing location like Yuya.
