At SEPHORA we inspire our customers, empower our teams, and help them become the best versions of themselves. We create an environment where people are valued, welcomed, and free to celebrate what makes them unique. We are united by a common goal - to reimagine the future of beauty together. And now, we’re excited to invite the next generation of talent to join us on that journey.

Are you curious, creative, and excited by things in the brand building world? Do you want to try your hand at PR, social media, influencer marketing, events, partnerships, brand campaigns, and everything in between? As our Brand and Communications Intern, you’ll gain hands‑on experience across the full spectrum of what it means to shape a brand’s identity and embed it in the cultural zeitgeist. You’ll play a meaningful role in shaping how SEPHORA shows up across the UK - from store openings and pop‑ups to social content, influencer collaborations, and media moments. If you’re someone who loves variety, enjoys learning new skills, and wants to explore different areas of marketing, this role is the perfect launchpad to identify areas of the brand building world that you’d like to dive deeper into for your future.

• Assisting with reporting, campaign tracking, and gathering insights to help improve future activity.
• Bringing fresh, creative ideas to team discussions, helping us explore new ways to show up as a brand.

What you’ll bring…

• You don’t need to be an expert in every area - just willing to learn, get stuck in, and explore.
• You will need to be organised, proactive, and excited by beauty, culture, and content, and enjoy juggling different types of projects and contributing ideas that help bring brand moments to life.

What will help you succeed…

• A broad interest in marketing, communications, PR, influencer culture, and social media.
• A creative mindset with the confidence to contribute fresh ideas.
