Full job description

At SEPHORA UK, beauty isn’t just what we sell - it’s who we are. It’s the freedom to express yourself, the thrill of discovering something new, and the power of belonging to a community that celebrates every identity. From our beginnings in France to becoming part of the LVMH family, we’ve always pushed boundaries through creativity, innovation, and inclusivity.

Today, as we continue our exciting expansion across the UK, we’re looking for passionate, driven individuals to help shape the future of prestige beauty in one of the world’s most dynamic retail markets.

The Opportunity – Fixed Term Contract until April 2027

This is an exciting opportunity to join SEPHORA UK in a commercially focused role, where you’ll help drive the performance, growth and success of some of the world’s most loved beauty brands.

Working closely with the Category Manager and Senior Category Manager, you’ll take ownership of a defined brand portfolio, combining commercial analysis, brand partnerships and strategic planning to deliver exceptional results across our omnichannel business. From product launches and marketing activations to supplier negotiations and performance reviews, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping how our clients discover and engage with our brands, while contributing to the continued growth of SEPHORA UK.

What you’ll be doing…

Own and support the performance of a defined portfolio of beauty brands, identifying opportunities to drive sales, profitability and market share.
Analyse weekly and monthly category and brand performance, translating data into actionable commercial recommendations.
Build strong relationships with brand partners, leading supplier meetings, tracking performance and supporting joint business planning.
Develop and execute launch plans, ensuring products are successfully brought to market across stores and digital channels.
Partner with Marketing, Ecommerce, Retail, Visual Merchandising and Demand Planning teams to deliver impactful campaigns and brand activations.
Drive the execution of promotional activity, animations and key trading events to maximise client engagement and commercial performance.
Support forecasting, stock management and new product launches to ensure products are available when and where clients need them.
Manage digital brand presence, optimising online brand pages and product performance to deliver a best-in-class client experience.
Negotiate and coordinate supplier support, including sampling, gift with purchase activity and marketing investment.
Support new store openings, range planning and planogram development to ensure the right assortment is available in every location.
Prepare commercial insights, reports and presentations for supplier reviews and internal stakeholder meetings.
Contribute to continuous improvement projects and support the wider Category Management team in delivering strategic business objectives.

What you’ll bring…

You'll be commercially minded, analytical and highly organised, with a passion for beauty and a strong ability to balance brand relationships with business performance.

Proven experience within Buying, Category Management or Brand Management, ideally within beauty, retail or FMCG.
Strong commercial acumen with the ability to interpret data, identify trends and make informed recommendations.
Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Confident building relationships and influencing a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.
Strong communication and presentation skills, both written and verbal.
Experience managing brand partnerships, supplier relationships or joint business planning activities.
A proactive and solutions-focused approach to identifying risks and opportunities.
Strong attention to detail and accuracy when managing product, sales and performance data.
Ability to work collaboratively across Ecommerce, Marketing, Retail and Supply Chain functions.
Passion for the beauty industry and a strong understanding of consumer trends, retail trading and brand building.

Beautiful Benefits at SEPHORA UK

When you join SEPHORA, you’re joining a team that we truly value and our benefits reflect that. Here’s what you can look forward to:

Private Healthcare, Life Assurance and Private Pension from day one.
Competitive pay that grows with you, including annual salary reviews.
A generous employee discount across the world’s best beauty brands.
A paid day off on your birthday.
Access to a wellbeing and perks platform.
LVMH Heart Fund support.
Generous holiday allowance, with the option to buy more.
And more…

Together, we belong to something beautiful.
