Authentic. Supportive. Fun. To experience human resources at Ulta Beauty is to step out of the mundane and into an environment alive with optimistic energy. After all, success breeds opportunity, and the opportunities to help drive an organization at the top of its game to even greater heights are as uncommon as they are satisfying.

It’s fast, it’s ambitious, it’s anchored in trust. With the chance to move or flex based on new or existing interests and passions. If you want that rare culture of lived values, where “team” truly means something. Where the drive for excellence is balanced with a genuine desire to help and encourage. And where the mark you make will be seen and recognized—we challenge you to dream bigger. To imagine the possibilities.
