Yes, we know that you think you know L’Oréal - you might even think of red lipstick and high-heels. Well, for those of you who did, let us tell you one thing: that’s not who we are and that’s not what we are looking for. Truth be told more than 40% of our French work force is masculine (and most of us are wearing sneakers by the way)!

You thought that it is not possible to be an entrepreneur in a big group? Well, let us prove you otherwise! 
Our 36 International brands are looking for courageous minds, challenging innovators and strategic out-of the-box thinkers.
