Position Title:  Batch Record Reviewer

Batch Record Reviewer 

Be a part of a revolutionary change

At PMI, we’ve chosen to do something incredible. We’re totally transforming our business and building our future on smoke‑free products with the power to deliver a smoke‑free future.
With huge change comes huge opportunity. So, wherever you join us, you’ll enjoy the freedom to dream up and deliver better, brighter solutions, and the space to move your career forward in endlessly different directions.

PMI’s shift from selling cigarettes to our new smoke‑free products has changed the way we work. New products bring new challenges—in how we source and purchase raw materials, how we engineer and manufacture, and how we plan our supply chain.

As a Batch Record Reviewer, you will play a key role in ensuring that smoke‑free products are manufactured, documented, and released in full compliance with Quality standards and regulatory requirements. The role sits at the intersection of Quality, Manufacturing, and Data, with a strong focus on accuracy, consistency, and risk prevention.

You will support production activities by reviewing and managing Manufacturing Batch Records and Batch Release documentation, ensuring that all data is complete, accurate, traceable, and properly archived according to PMI guidelines and the Quality Management System.

The position will be based in Crespellano (BO).
