Role purpose:

The purpose of the role is to enable the growth of the Central Operations teams and contribute to investigative and intelligence led strategies addressing key illicit trade issues in support of Regions and Markets.

The role involves managing a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders, requiring strong coordination and collaboration. The candidate must be able to manage large volumes of information from different sources and be competent at summarizing complex findings and tailoring the output to suit different audiences. It remains critical that the candidate can be objective and understand both specificities in individual cases as well as the wider context of illicit trade operations.

Additionally, risk assessment and critical thinking are core components of the role, that will enable the ITP function to detect and analyse illicit trade incidents at a global level. Mapping changing modus operandi and compiling comprehensive intelligence packages for use with external stakeholders is critical to influencing change and supporting illicit trade disruption.

Combined with other investigative projects and enforcement cases at regional and market level, develop key enforcement and policy engagement packages with a view to reducing the existing gaps that allow illicit traders to operate.
• Law enforcement & policy makers: engage and coordinate ITP's engagement with national, regional and international law enforcement / national security organizations, incl. IGOs and NGOs, with a view to building Public-Private Partnerships and promoting better regulatory frameworks to close gaps that illicit traders exploit.
• Regional & market support: support priority markets in crafting / executing investigation & enforcement strategy to effectively contribute to regions' and markets' anti-illicit trade plans aiming at safeguarding PMI's reputation and protecting PMI brands, business, and the integrity of all product categories from illicit globally.
• Toolbox: develop capability tools for internal and external stakeholders based on Central ITP's core competencies.
