About The Position

The Operations Talent Program (OTP) is a two-year career accelerator designed for high-potential talented candidates with STEM and MedTech backgrounds. The program welcomes participants to develop strong technical and leadership skills across EssilorLuxottica’s Global Operations in Italy, France, the USA, China and Thailand. This is an opportunity for a fast-track career in Operations that opens the door to international exposure and cutting-edge innovation. Through the Operations Talent Program, participants will develop their expertise through hands-on experience and a tailored learning journey. The OTP starts with a structured onboarding that combines both global and regional activities designed to help participants progressively understand EssilorLuxottica’s culture, values and core business processes, while building strong connections across our international OTP community. This first phase is followed by the Academy, which takes place during the first six months of the program. The learning path includes digital modules and live sessions led by Functional Leaders, allowing participants to explore the world of Operations, gain exposure to our vertically integrated business model, and develop a broad understanding of how different functions contribute to business performance and customer impact. The journey then continues with the Transformative Competencies Path, a development experience focused on technical, business and leadership skills, delivered in partnership with one of the world’s most prestigious research institutes. After the first year, participants will undertake their first job rotation and progressively start contributing to projects connected to real business priorities and transformation initiatives, with increasing expectations in terms of ownership, accountability and impact. Throughout the program, participants will have multiple opportunities to collaborate across regions and functions, strengthening the OTP community through shared experiences, cross-functional teamwork and business-driven projects. The final phase of the program includes a second rotation, leading to a permanent placement and long-term growth path within EssilorLuxottica Global Operations.
