Women in tech:
your place is here


Hello

At Orange, women have their place in tech. They innovate, lead, code, train and inspire. Above all, they are transforming technical and digital professions in a sustainable way by contributing their perspectives and expertise to ensure that innovations are useful to everyone.

They are driving change.

      Role models to inspire
      young girls and women who want
      to pursue careers in technology

      Khaoula - Artificial Intelligence Manager

      "Clearly, artificial intelligence needs women. Gender diversity in teams is essential, particularly to limit gender bias. There are not enough women in this field. Yet the advantages are clear: in artificial intelligence, there is never a dull moment, there is always innovation and new challenges, and you can work in any field, from sports to beauty, health, aviation, defence and cybersecurity."

      Meriem - Technical Department Manager

      "Being a woman in a technical world is an asset because you bring a different management style to the table."

      Emilie - Digital Experience Manager

      "To support my team on a daily basis, particularly the women, we are going to set up a whole series of workshops to help them work on their soft skills. Young people who join us will be mentored. We will support them with soft skills workshops that will help them work on their speeches, make a pitch, give a great presentation and adapt to their audience."

      Emilia - Technical Director, Public Cloud Offerings

      "Mentoring is very important for career development, especially for women. I had the opportunity to benefit from this and now I pass it on in turn, to share my experiences. At Orange, I don't feel favoured or penalised for being a woman. There is real equality between men and women. We all have the means to flourish in our work."

      Sandrine – Engineer

      "My experience at Orange has given me complete freedom: the freedom to do the job I've always wanted to do, to choose how I manage my projects and at what pace I carry them out. All while maintaining a good work-life balance. That's why I chose to work for Orange."

      Mia - penetration tester

      "I tell women to take up space and speak up. When they're in a room, they should make sure they've been seen and heard by everyone present. They should never “stay in their place”. Have you seen your dream job but think you're not good enough? Apply anyway."
