Job Satisfaction at Philip Morris Australia

Great in rotation to try different things. Always given something to do - sometimes a big challenge which is great to get out of comfort zone.

I keep tabs on a few different processes, I have been facilitating the senior management meeting for a few months. This requires organising the meeting, creating a pre read, making sure people give me their content on time, sending a pre read, answering questions on the behalf of other people sometimes and following up on the changes that need to be made. Brands and new product launches have to go through many processes before they can come to market as well, many of which involve our teams in other countries. Many elements of this need to get done at different times to ensure the whole process can keep flowing. I learned how to use CLIPP and Bizcaps to manage our products. I have presented changes that are happening to senior management and dozens of people I hadn't met before (ftms, fzms).

Sometimes, there's a lot to work on. Different tasks, objectives, targets to hit. A lot of cross functional work.

Some roles have re-occurring structured tasks, but no two days are the same. I am lucky to be able to touch lots of different areas in the business, doing financial analysis and forecasting. I also receive requests for different projects from internal stakeholders that have an impact on our market. I have meetings with my team regularly to ensure our work follows our strategy and get to show how my work is making a real impact on business objectives.

My role has recently changed as you undertake 6-month rotations as a graduate trainee. I am currently in a Key Accounts role working within the Petrol and Convenience space. This largely involves creating analytical tool for clients to highlight strong performing stores/products and also those poorly performing. This helps us and our clients in forming initiatives to target/enhance current trends.
