As a Workfront Core Developer, you will design, build, and optimise the platform's internal structure and user experience — including custom forms, metadata models, calculated fields, layout templates, advanced reporting, and proofing workflows. Thousands of L'Oreal marketers, translators, and creative agencies rely on your work daily to localise and adapt campaign content at scale.

Be responsible for the following:

• Build advanced Calculated Custom Fields using Workfront formulas (date math, string manipulation, logical conditions, system wildcards).
• Create and maintain Layout Templates tailored to distinct user personas (Brand Managers, Content Producers, Agency Creatives, Translators).
• Manage bulk data operations and schema deployments across environments using Workfront Kick-Starts (XML/CSV templates).

Workflow Modelling & Template Design

Text Mode & Advanced Reporting

• Build collection-based reporting with nested EXISTS queries to extract deeply nested workflow performance data.
• Implement conditional formatting using Text Mode inline CSS styling for dynamic, colour-coded health indicators in reports.
• Build real-time analytics tracking content factory KPIs: Time-to-Market, cycle times, throughput, bottleneck analysis.

Proofing & Approval Architecture

• Design and configure Workfront Proof (ProofHQ) environments with multi-stage Automated Workflow Templates, custom decision routing, and deadlines.
• Configure proofing profiles, custom decision statuses, and proof role permissions aligned with legal, regulatory, and brand validation requirements.
