It brings together people, processes, and intelligence across the AECO ecosystem to help the industry work smarter, faster, and more sustainably.

We are seeking a Forma Strategy Manager based in EMEA to support and advance the strategic direction and go‑to‑market (GTM) priorities for the Forma Industry Cloud. In this role, you will work closely with the Director, Forma Industry GTM Strategy to help drive cross‑functional alignment, conduct strategic analysis, and translate customer, market, and product insights into actionable recommendations.

• Partner with product, marketing, sales, customer success, and industry leadership to ensure alignment and execution of the Forma strategy across EMEA
• Facilitate alignment around value propositions, target personas, and GTM motions
• Help drive clarity across teams by communicating strategy updates, decision points, and cross‑functional dependencies

• Engage directly with EMEA customers and partners to gather insights on workflows, adoption barriers, and opportunities for industry transformation
• Surface regional feedback to influence product roadmap, GTM choices, and priority use cases
• Monitor EMEA‑specific trends, regulations, competitive dynamics, and market shifts to help Autodesk anticipate changes and sharpen differentiation

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Partner with product, data science, and GTM teams to ensure AI innovation translates into customer‑ready capabilities
• Champion responsible AI practices across Autodesk’s AECO solutions
