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.
