Job description

Position Overview

Autodesk is looking for an outstanding Program Manager to join our Lifecycle Experience Engineering and Product (LEEP) organization. This fast-moving group is focused on building and enhancing systems and tools that are loved by the people that use them. We sit at the intersection of technology and the business, making sure we deliver to Sales, Finance, Marketing and more the capabilities they need to succeed.

The Briefing and Intelligence Office is a newly established function under the Chief of Staff, built to give leadership and stakeholders a clear, consistent view of our portfolio, so they always know where things stand, if there is risk and where their help is needed. You’ll take technical jargon and complexity and turn it into narratives anyone can follow, from individual contributor to executive.

This is a storytelling role, requiring disciplined program management. You’ll need the discipline to own a repeatable cadence, and the craft to make the reporting something people want to read. You can work across a wide variety of people and roles to know which content to pull in, when to leverage or direct to existing content, ask the right questions and walk out with a narrative.

We’re looking for a self-starter, who can build out the cadences, templates, mediums and then evolve the offerings. You won’t need to be a technical expert in the room, but experience working with Product Managers, and Developers on back-end systems is an asset.
