Stop press: L’Oréal recruits graduate sales trainees for January start

Due to an upswing in its business, L’Oréal needs additional people to join its prestigious sales graduate programme in January 2010. The L’Oréal graduate programmes are hugely competitive and ‘off-cycle’ opportunities of this type almost never come about.

Recent graduates on this scheme have been given a broad range of responsibilities, including:

  1. Heading up a £4 million account for L’Oréal Professionnel, the firm’s biggest salon brand
  2. Analysing market data to identify a sales opportunity for Maybelline, putting together a plan of action to address this, and presenting the strategy to senior management
  3. Working on a charitable ‘Take Care’ day for Garnier clearing forest trails in Richmond Park
  4. Designing the contents of a gift box that was used by L’Oréal’s field force teams to promote the L’Oréal Paris Men Expert brand through some of the firm’s major Redken salons
  5. Taking ownership of a key project to grow Garnier’s market share in over 20 top supermarkets


L’Oréal is looking for people who:

  • Have at least a 2:1
  • Have got some sales experience and enjoy selling
  • Are articulate, commercial, and resilient
  • Ideally speak an additional language
  • Are British or EU citizens


26 November update: applications for this role have now closed.
