Your Role at Sephora

Ready for a career glow up? As Retail Communications Manager, Translation and Localization
, you’ll lead the development and delivery of accurate, inclusive, and contextually relevant Spanish-language content for Sephora’s retail organization. The work you do will impact beauty, as you help ensure store teams receive clear, consistent, and culturally relevant information that supports seamless execution and an exceptional client experience.
