Office furniture and workplace solutions manufacturer scaling digital and supply-chain operations
Steelcase is a century-old furniture manufacturer now mid-transformation: the tech stack reveals a dual focus on data-driven product development (Databricks, Spark, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) and operational systems (SAP ECC/S/4HANA, ServiceNow, Windchill), while projects span lean manufacturing, multi-plant logistics optimization, and digital-first go-to-market. Hiring across sales, engineering, and manufacturing at an accelerating rate suggests concurrent scaling of dealer channels, automation capabilities, and production footprint—typical of a large-format manufacturer moving from analog to platform-driven customer engagement.
Notable leadership hires: Dealer Sales Director, Distribution Dock Lead, Team Lead
