The Opportunity

As Sephora continues to expand our store network across the United Kingdom, we have an exciting opportunity for a Property Intern to join our team. Reporting to the Senior Project Manager, you’ll play a key role in supporting the delivery of new store and office openings during a dynamic period of growth.

This internship offers hands‑on exposure to the full construction and development lifecycle. You’ll support project administration, documentation, layout studies, and site activities, while learning Sephora’s design and build standards and contributing to the creation of exceptional retail environments.

Working closely with internal teams and external partners, you’ll gain experience in planning, coordination, and project management — all within a fast‑paced, highly collaborative retail development team.

What you’ll be doing…

You’ll support the Property & Store Development team across a wide range of project activities, including:

• Preparing layout updates and feasibility drawings for potential new locations.
• Supporting documentation and administrative tasks, including purchase order follow‑up and file organisation.
• Assisting the team in reviewing contractor progress reports and construction programmes.
• Joining site walks with Project Managers and contributing to snag list preparation and quality observations.
• Supporting meeting preparation, documentation and note taking with architects, consultants, and retail partners.
• Assisting with handover documentation and tracking required submissions and certifications before completion.
• Updating technical files and materials documentation under the guidance of the design team.
• Providing ad hoc support to the Facilities Manager on capital projects and works.

What you'll bring…

You’re a motivated, curious and organised individual with a genuine interest in retail design, architecture and construction. You’re eager to learn, ready to get involved, and excited by the opportunity to contribute to real store openings across the UK.

What will help you succeed…

• A proactive mindset and a strong sense of ownership in supporting the team.
• An interest in interior design materials, retail environments and store planning.
• Basic experience using MS Office tools, AutoCAD, SketchUp and Photoshop, with a willingness to develop further technical skills.
• Curiosity about construction drawings, cost awareness and project governance principles.

This role will require occasional travel to store locations across the United Kingdom.

What you need to know…

• The internship is a 12-month Fixed-Term Contract (FTC). 
• You will need to hold valid right‑to‑work status for the UK for the duration of the internship.
• This role is based at SEPHORA HQ in Russell Square, London, and follows our Hybrid working policy of 3 days onsite per week.

While at SEPHORA you’ll enjoy…
