Autodesk; Boston (MA); On-site; USD 142,000 - 259,000; Full time

Job summary

Autodesk is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the People Insights & Solution Design domain, guiding strategy from problem framing to delivery, adoption, and ongoing optimization. You will partner with engineering, experience design, and leadership to shape a seamless intelligence layer across Workday and related systems, balancing AI opportunities with data ownership and governance.

You will drive cross-functional collaboration, set measurable outcomes, and push for proactive risk

Qualifications

• Own product strategy and roadmap for an assigned PPL domain.
• Translate ambiguous employee and business problems into clear product requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Partner with engineering and design teams daily to deliver end-to-end solutions.

Responsibilities

• Own product strategy and roadmap for an assigned PPL domain portfolio, for example Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, Compensation & Rewards, Employee Support & Services, Workplace & Travel Experience, or PI-SD's AI-enabled products.
• Own visibility across every tool, vendor, and contract in your domain, and drive renewal, divestment, and consolidation decisions backed by business cases through the quarterly PPL leadership technology review
• Translate ambiguous employee and business problems into clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria
• Own the experience and intelligence layer for your domain, keeping Workday and other systems of record as infrastructure while PPL owns the logic built on top of them
• Partner with ESE engineering teams daily through build and delivery, acting as the accountable product voice from requirements through launch
• Apply the vendor capture test to every AI capability in your domain: is it trained on data Autodesk owns and controls, or does it represent vendor capture of Autodesk's logic? Use AI directly in your own research, analysis, prioritization, and execution
• Build trust and alignment across technical and business stakeholders, and drive decisions without relying on direct authority
• Drive adoption of what you build, including bringing stakeholders who previously owned their own tech decisions through the transition to a centralized model with trust intact
• Define and own the KPIs for your domain, connecting product-level metrics to the broader PPL talent strategy, and build the dashboards and leading indicators that make performance visible before problems compound
• Identify portfolio risks, redundancies, and opportunities early, and bring recommendations, not open questions, to leadership before they surface as escalations
• Build new domain and technical fluency quickly as the portfolio and tools evolve, rather than waiting for structured training
