At L’Oréal, we take pride in creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, and their contributions are valued. When we recruit, hire, train, promote, or engage in any other employment practice, we are committed to being an inclusive employer regardless of race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, socioeconomic status, medical condition, or disability, or any other protected status. When we look for talent, we welcome difference—different backgrounds, experiences, personalities, and perspectives. The beauty we find in our differences gives us the freedom to go beyond. That’s the beauty of L’Oréal.

Next steps...

Once you click apply, you’ll be asked some questions to check your eligibility for this role. These will include questions about your current situation, whether you’re happy with the salary, location, etc.

Our Assessment Centres this year will mostly be in person, running from when applications open until the roles are filled. These Assessment Centres are specific to function, so please be patient if you don’t get invited straight away—it might just be because your function’s Assessment Centre date is later in the recruitment period!

Please note: If you apply for more than one role, you’ll be put forward for the one we deem most suitable for you. If you have a strong preference, please only apply to that one role to ensure you’re considered for the correct role.
