Where fresh, bold and inspiring work meets greater purpose.

We’re on a mission to use the power of beauty to bring out the possibilities that lie within each person. And, for us, that starts with our associates.We believe in the possibilities of our associates. The possibilities to dream big dreams. To be exactly who they are. To chart the course of their own career. The possibilities to imagine, to impact, and to grow. Here, we’re inspired by doing work that is shaping the world and redefining beauty & retail – one idea, one project, one relationship at a time – and we love finding people who have that same passion.

These are the beautiful possibilities at Ulta Beauty.

The Ulta Beauty difference

Ulta Beauty is so much more than meets the eye.
Here’s what we mean & how we’re doing it …

Fueling endless career opportunities

Don’t just listen to what we say. Watch what we do. We've grown to a team of over 58,000 associates across our stores, corporate office and distribution centers, with 67% of leadership roles at Ulta Beauty being held by women. We do more than believe in possibilities—we realize them.

At Ulta Beauty, you’ll have a broad range of opportunities to develop your interests and passions, with full support from senior leadership and the associates next to you. Because we want your work experience to be compelling and rewarding and fun.

We want you to be the best you that you can be, personally and professionally.

Reimagining the future of beauty & retail

Always anticipating. Forever imagining. Never complacent. As we continue to explore the power of beauty, we lead in paving the way for what’s next. We’re investing in next-gen technologies, like AI and AR, that enhance the impact of human connection in ways that make beauty attainable and fresh for our guests. And dynamic, meaningful and challenging for our associates.

Discover future-forward.

A culture of connection + inclusivity

Here, nothing is more important than people. People with passion. Contagious optimism. Grounded humility. People who radiate positivity to the world.

For us, it’s about the values and purpose we live, the connections we make, how we champion inclusivity and the opportunities we create. This is the fuel of our passion and performance.

Whether it’s our commitment to listening to really hear at all levels of the organization; the positive impact we have on our guests, associates and communities; or our drive to always improve that energizes and inspires across all levels of our company, Ulta Beauty is about a feeling of belonging for all who love, and want to express, beauty in all its dynamic forms.

Make a beautiful impact on the world

One of Ulta Beauty’s most important opportunities is to leverage the power of beauty as a force for good. We’re using our collective strength to drive environmental and social progress that makes a beautiful impact on our world.
