Overview

Job Requisition ID 25WD91150

Position Overview: As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you’ll work with leaders in engineering, product, and design to manage efforts that make our products more reliable, secure, and trustworthy to customers. You’ll lead programs and projects across our globally distributed 800+ person R&D organization, acting as the connective tissue that aligns teams and drives programs to successful completion. Excellent collaboration and communication with other product teams and stakeholders within Construction R&D and in other areas of the organization will be a critical part of your success to ensure that dependencies are understood and managed well, and any discovered overlaps are resolved across the Autodesk construction products ecosystem. You’ll be a central point of contact for our Centers of Excellence (COEs) to help them adopt organizational standards and practices that improve tracking, cross-COE collaboration, and organizational efficiency. You’ll also work with the TPM org to help develop and implement processes that assist in delivering business objectives, and iterate to continually improve the way we work together. A great program manager will be highly organized, communicative, and detail-oriented, with a sharp focus on on-time delivery and efficiency at all levels of the organization. Being able to effectively drive response and action from a number of stakeholders is crucial to the success of this role.
