From performance and talent management to employee relations, culture, engagement, learning and development, DE&I and organisational change, you will help build the conditions for our people and our business to thrive. This role is not just about delivering HR processes. It is about being a cultural ambassador, trusted advisor, coach and change partner — helping us continue to build a winning team and culture across Lifestyle Brands. This role promises professional development, personal growth, and the chance to explore and implement innovative ideas.

About us

We are the people behind method + Ecover. We’ve always done things differently – we’re fearless thinkers, mad scientists and adventurous designers who believe that making soap leads to brave ideas, bold inventions and beautiful bubbles. We started small but we have big plans to make the world a cleaner, greener, more colourful place. We invite everyone to join us as we pioneer a future where doing business is doing good for all. Let’s get one thing straight – you’re not coming here to just sell soap, or cleaning products. You’re joining us to move the hearts, souls and minds of others all over the world that see the world differently. We think about cleaning as an act of creative expression, a gesture of rebellion, and, yes, an escape from the normal. We take cleaning seriously – but not ourselves. Alongside our friends Mrs. Meyer’s clean day and babyganics in the US, we are collectively known as Lifestyle Brands and are part of the SC Johnson family.

Inclusion & Diversity

We believe that being a team of diverse people with different ideas, views and cultures will help us and our business thrive. We are committed to ensuring everyone who works at the LSB feels that they have a real sense of belonging and that they can show up as who they are, be valued, listened to and supported to do their best possible work. Sure, there’s always more that can be done. But together with our team, partners, customers and community, we can make everyone welcome.
