been named as Top Employer for the

The JTI UK Graduate Scheme
The JTI UK Graduate Scheme is always
evolving. It now runs over two years, with
an induction period and then three eightmonth
projects, where graduates can
experience different departments and
make a real impact.
As well as schemes focusing on
commercial, logistics, sales or marketing
careers, we also run a Finance-specific
scheme where graduates simultaneously
study for their CIMA qualification. Many
of our graduates move on to successful
roles within the UK, and globally.
Importantly, no two graduate scheme
paths are the same, and they are tailored
to the individual.
Lisa Anderson
MARKETING DIRECTOR
AT JTI UK
Lisa qualified as a Graduate
Management Trainee in 2010 and is
now Marketing Director at JTI UK.
" The scheme provides you with
a 360-degree view of the business.
You're encouraged to be agile
and versatile. JTI UK's culture of
continuous development allowed
me to transfer many of the skills
I had developed on the graduate
scheme throughout my career.
" This development is one of the
reasons I've stayed at JTI UK for
over 15 years - you never stand
still. JTI UK is also extremely
supportive in providing training to
fill any gaps in knowledge or skill

as you move into new roles.
" Another big factor that keeps
people at JTI UK is the first-class
people culture and benefits
offered. I've recently been on
maternity leave and JTI UK's
Family Leave Policy is exemplary.
The flexible ways of working policy
is also designed to fit around
other personal commitments, and
a 50:50 split between office and
home working is hugely helpful. "
Tom Osborne
UK GENERAL MANAGER
Tom joined JTI UK as a Graduate
Trainee in 2003 and was recently
appointed as UK General Manager.
His journey highlights the
chance for employees to travel the
world. Tom worked in Sales and
Marketing in the UK, before leading
JTI's Marketing department in
Malaysia. He then held roles in
Taiwan and led the Canary Island
markets, before being appointed
the Marketing and Sales VP for the
Western Europe region in 2015.
Prior to working in Geneva, Tom
led both the Iberia and Russian
markets as General Manager.
" The graduate programme
equips you very well for working
in different markets. Having an
international career has been a
real growth accelerator in my
knowledge - it teaches you to
come in and look at things afresh.
I'd encourage employees to be
flexible with their career paths.
Don't just look for a promotion.
I've taken lateral moves, which
have taught me valuable skills and
turned out to be the best thing for
my overall career. "
