And our success allows MillerKnoll to support causes that align with our values, so we can build a more sustainable, equitable, and beautiful future for everyone.
About this opportunity:
The Director, Digital Design & Experience is a senior enterprise leader responsible for defining and advancing MillerKnoll’s end-to-end digital customer experience across Retail, Contract, and omnichannel environments. Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, this role sets the experience vision for how people discover, evaluate, purchase, and engage with MillerKnoll brands regardless of channel, customer type, or point of entry.
This leader owns the coherence of the experience ecosystem, ensuring enterprise consistency while allowing for meaningful differentiation across Herman Miller, Knoll, Design Within Reach, and MillerKnoll. The role balances the distinct needs of consumer‑led retail journeys and complex contract‑based buying and servicing models, translating customer insight, business priorities, and brand intent into clear experience strategies, standards, and execution roadmaps.
Operating at a systems level, the Director partners closely with leaders across Contract, Retail, eCommerce, Marketing, Product, Technology, and Creative to guide experience direction, align investment, and enable teams to deliver high‑quality, low‑friction experiences at scale. This role combines strategic leadership with operational rigor—setting enterprise experience direction, governing standards, and enabling teams to execute consistently within a simplified, omnichannel operating model.
Key Responsibilities:
Simply put, we hire qualified applicants representing a wide range of backgrounds and abilities. MillerKnoll is comprised of people of all abilities, gender identities and expressions, ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, veterans from every branch of military service, and more.
