Copywriter

We are SC Johnson Lifestyle Brands, a growing house of brands within our parent company SC Johnson, that includes method, ecover, babyganics and mrs. meyers clean day.

THE ROLE

Our brands speak and behave like actual humans, to and for humans. So it should go without saying that you will be both madly creative and deeply empathetic, with a fair dose of wit & charm tossed in for good measure. Beyond that, a stellar attitude, clear communication skills, a diplomatic, team-player approach and strong time management abilities are a must.

• Update and maintain Copy Guide, Fragrance Name Library, Ecomm Copy Library
