Senior Product Manager, People Insights & AI

Autodesk; Denver (CO); On-site; USD 142,000 - 259,000; Full time

Job summary

Autodesk is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own a domain within People Insights & Solution Design, translating ambiguous employee problems into strategy, requirements, and measurable outcomes. You’ll partner with engineering, experience design, and senior leaders to drive adoption and impact across Workday and related systems.

You’ll shape roadmaps, define KPIs, and balance build-vs-buy decisions while applying AI thinking to ensure data autonomy and governance.

Responsibilities

• Own product strategy and roadmap for an assigned PPL domain portfolio, applying build versus buy principles and the six-dimension evaluation framework.
• 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?
• 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
