Our take

Chanel is a private company and a world leader in creating, developing, manufacturing and distributing luxury products. Founded by Gabrielle Chanel at the beginning of the last century, Chanel offers a broad range of high-end creations, including Ready-to-Wear, Leather Goods, Fashion Accessories, Eyewear, Fragrances, Makeup, Skincare, Jewellery and Watches. Chanel is also renowned for its Haute Couture collections, presented twice yearly in Paris, and for having acquired a large number of specialised suppliers, collectively known as the Métiers d’Art.

Chanel is dedicated to ultimate luxury and to the highest level of craftsmanship. They promote culture, art, creativity and “savoir-faire” throughout the world, and the company invests significantly in people, R&D and innovation. Chanel employs more than 18,000 people globally.

Chanel is focused on using technology to enhance the experience with clients – always centred on human interaction. For example, a strategic partnership with Farfetch has led to digital initiatives in the boutique. And Lipscanner, the first beauty app for the Brand, combines visual recognition, virtual try-on technology and ecommerce.

Chanel is looking to hire tech & digital talents right across The House. This is part of their focus on using technology to help support boutique teams, inform communication strategy, build a truly omnichannel experience, and help Chanel find new ways to meet employee experience, sustainability, quality & efficiency goals.
