About The Position

At SC Johnson Lifestyle Brands, we’re reimagining how household products are made, moved, and experienced. As a Senior Analyst, Supply Planning, you’ll play a critical role in keeping iconic brands like Method and Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day on shelves and in homes by ensuring the right finished goods are in the right place at the right time.
