Inclusion And Diversity
At the LSB, we see inclusion as being one of our superpowers and central to our mission. We create an environment where we value everyone for everything they bring. We love difference, it’s what makes us stand out and it’s something for which we will stand up. We believe that being a team of diverse people with different ideas, views and cultures will help us and our business thrive.

OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Explore current opportunities and submit your online application. You’ll upload a resume, share your work experience and answer a few brief application questions. We diligently review applications to find candidates with the background and experiences that will make them successful in a career with the LSB.
USE OF GENERATIVE AI
At SC Johnson Lifestyle Brands, we take pride in a fair and transparent recruitment process which at its core is guided by human expertise and insight. We harness technology where appropriate to enhance our talent acquisition process, which may include the use of generative AI functionality. But we do not utilize generative AI in key recruitment stages such as application or resume review, screening, assessment, and final selection. We believe this approach allows us better to understand each candidate’s unique strengths, experiences, and potential and ultimately advances our company goal of fostering an environment of equal opportunity and inclusivity. Join us in helping to shape the future of a company committed to a dynamic and inclusive workforce.
We do our best to keep the interview process as simple as possible.
In most cases, this means:
Hiring manager chat: We'll start with a phone interview, where you can tell us about your relevant experience and skills. This is a chance for you to learn about us, too. Think of it as a first step to calculating our chemistry with one another.
Meet the team: During this stage, we'll open up the conversation to other LSB-ers. You'll meet with a few cross-functional team members and really dive into your relevant experience, shining successes, important career learnings and unique qualities. This is a chance for us to get to know each other better.
During our interviews, we ask candidates to respond to questions using the STAR method. STAR stands for situation, task, action and result of the situation – please be prepared to discuss each when you respond to interview questions.
We'll make sure there’s time for you to ask questions you have about the role, the team, future career opportunities and more. In cases where we have to conduct an interview remotely, we'll be sure to provide an opportunity for you to visit the office location during the process.
We'll provide as much notice and flexibility as possible when scheduling interviews. We like to keep the process moving along at this stage, so we’ll strive to provide a two-day notice for phone and live video interview requests and three- to five-day notice for on-site interviews, depending on the amount of travel necessary.
After your interviews are complete, we will keep in touch with updates as the process moves along. Please look for initial outreach from your recruiter two to three business days after your interview. We will follow up to let the successful candidate know the interview process is complete within seven days.
After the completion of the interview process, LSB teams will work quickly to finalize the details of your offer for employment. In most cases, we're able to provide you with an offer within three days, while some complex roles may require additional time.
We do our best to communicate offers clearly and provide transparent information on any questions you may have.
