Job description: Lifestyle Brands (the LSB) is a growing house of like-minded brands under the SC Johnson umbrella including Method®, Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day®, Babyganics® and Ecover®. Headquartered in San Francisco with additional operations in Chicago and throughout Europe, the LSB is home to 650 employees. Together we act as a force for bold, transformative growth with a focus on delivering positive impact for people and the planet.

The LSB is part of SC Johnson, a family-owned company and leading manufacturer of household cleaning, home storage, air care, pest control and shoe care products, as well as professional products. Originally founded in 1886 and headquartered in Wisconsin, U.S.A., SC Johnson and the Lifestyle Brands division are at work for a better world.

As we continue to grow closer with the SC Johnson family, we want to find simple ways to harmonize our systems, programs and policies and start to ‘speak the same language’ across all of our business units – Lifestyle Brands, Global Consumer Brands and Professional. One of the ways we are harmonizing is through SCJ position grading which allows for greater opportunity for employees to grow their careers across the overall SCJ organization. So while this role will be known as Sales Manager within Lifestyle Brands and for externally facing networking, within the broader SCJ organization, the internal job title is Associate Manager, Sales Account Management to ensure we are consistent within the company.

This is a remote role. Twin Cities area preferred due to proximity to customers.
