At La Poste Groupe, a given role can be occupied by people with very different levels of experience, at different speeds and from different starting points. What really matters is identifying what appeals to you the most: a particular work environment, a mission, a way of making a difference, or a specific skills set.

Internal mobility is a priority issue at La Poste Groupe, which helps thousands of employees progress or transition their careers every year. Our in-house training centres (Formaposte, École de la Data, Institut Groupe, etc.) and dedicated career transition programmes give you the opportunity to change roles or business sectors at any stage of your career with the group.
