Careers at L’Oréal

Each year, we welcome up to 40 graduates from diverse academic backgrounds to join our Marketing Management Trainee Programme. Over 18 months, you’ll complete three rotations across a variety of roles, gaining a unique overview of how different functions and divisions operate. This early exposure will provide you with the breadth of knowledge to ensure you start your career with a strong foundation.

What You’ll Do

• If you want to learn about consumer goods marketing from one of the best in the business, this is the place to do it. Every year, we launch hundreds of new products into this fiercely competitive market, and as a graduate on our programme, you’ll have the opportunity to work across any of our 39 global brands.
• Take Diesel’s “Only the Brave” fragrance launch, for example. One of our graduates played a pivotal role in this campaign, liaising directly with agencies on point-of-sale merchandise and negotiating prices with retailers to ensure the launch was a major success. The result? Diesel’s “Only the Brave” became the UK’s biggest fragrance launch ever for L’Oréal.
• As a marketer at L’Oréal, you’ll need ambition, resilience, and creativity to bring your brand’s vision to life in a challenging market. You’ll think strategically and creatively to develop innovative ideas, manage ever-changing deadlines, and create successful campaigns. Understanding your consumer is key, so you’ll monitor and report on your brand’s performance and its competitors, all while building strong relationships with internal teams and external partners.

What We’re Looking For

To succeed in this role, you’ll need:

• Strong interpersonal skills and management potential.
• The ability to work within tight deadlines, both internal and external.
• Excellent organisational skills, proactivity, and effective planning.
• Strong attention to detail with high levels of accuracy.
• A logical, solutions-focused mindset.
• Strong analytical skills.
• Previous experience in an office environment (preferred).

Eligibility

• Final-year university students graduating in 2026 or recent graduates (within the last two years).
• Available to start in either July 2026 or January 2027.
