Job description

Position Overview

Autodesk is accelerating its AI/ML strategy across the company. To support this, we are seeking a Principal Program Manager who will support the operational rhythm, structure, and execution of our AI Executive Leadership Team and drive its associated sub-forums.

In this role, you will be the connective tissue across teams, ensuring clarity, alignment, and forward progress on Autodesk’s most important AI/ML initiatives. You will partner closely with leaders across Product, Platform, Engineering, Go-to-market, Marketing, Legal, and Business Strategy to drive coherent decision-making and connect disparate workstreams into a unified, company-wide AI narrative.

This is a high-visibility, highly cross-functional role requiring exceptional program management, facilitation, communication, and synthesis skills—with a strong conceptual understanding of AI/ML and how it shows up across a complex product portfolio.

Responsibilities

  • Operate and orchestrate the AI Executive Leadership Team (AI-ELT), including agendas, materials, decision framing, documentation, and follow-through

  • Connect discussions, decisions, and dependencies across AI-ELT functional areas to ensure coherence and alignment

  • Lead planning and execution for cross-organizational AI/ML initiatives, defining structures, milestones, risks, and clear progress tracking

  • Facilitate complex conversations, synthesize diverse inputs, and drive crisp, well-informed decisions across product, platform, research, industry, and business teams

  • Create executive-ready materials, summaries, and narratives that simplify complex AI topics and keep stakeholders informed and aligned

  • Identify risks and blockers early, drive mitigation plans, and ensure timely escalation when needed

  • Maintain predictable program rhythms, continuously refine workflows, and introduce operating practices that improve transparency, speed, and cross-functional coordination

Minimum Qualifications

  • 8-10 years of experience in program management, portfolio operations, or strategic program delivery

  • Demonstrated success managing complex, multi-stakeholder programs with executive visibility

  • Good familiarity with AI/ML concepts—able to understand and synthesize discussions in collaboration with technical leaders (no hands-on technical expertise required)

  • Proven ability to influence without authority and drive alignment across diverse stakeholders

  • Exceptional communication, analytics, synthesis, and facilitation skills

  • Experience building decision frameworks, program rhythms, and program governance structures

  • High degree of comfort operating in ambiguity and creating clarity

  • Experience with program tools (Airtable, Asana, Jira, Confluence, or equivalent) and AI tools (ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude, etc)

  • Passion for innovation, and continuous improvement

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting or operating executive-level forums, steering committees, or strategic councils

  • Background working in AI/ML-driven product environments or adjacent fields (e.g., data science, applied research)

Aperçu du poste

Autodesk accélère sa stratégie IA/ML à l'échelle de l'entreprise. Pour soutenir cette initiative, nous recherchons un chef de programme senior qui soutiendra le rythme opérationnel, la structure et l'exécution de notre équipe de direction IA et dirigera les sous-forums associés.

À ce poste, vous serez le lien entre les équipes, garantissant la clarté, l'alignement et la progression des initiatives les plus importantes d'Autodesk en matière d'IA/ML. Vous travaillerez en étroite collaboration avec les responsables des produits, des plateformes, de l'ingénierie, de la commercialisation, du marketing, des affaires juridiques et de la stratégie commerciale afin de favoriser une prise de décision cohérente et de relier les différents flux de travail en un récit unifié sur l'IA à l'échelle de l'entreprise.

Il s'agit d'un poste très visible et hautement transversal qui nécessite des compétences exceptionnelles en matière de gestion de programmes, de facilitation, de communication et de synthèse, ainsi qu'une solide compréhension conceptuelle de l'IA/ML et de son application dans un portefeuille de produits complexe.

Responsabilités

  • Diriger et coordonner l'équipe de direction exécutive chargée de l'IA (AI-ELT), notamment les ordres du jour, les documents, la formulation des décisions, la documentation et le suivi

  • Relier les discussions, les décisions et les dépendances entre les domaines fonctionnels de l'AI-ELT afin d'assurer la cohérence et l'alignement

  • Diriger la planification et l'exécution des initiatives interorganisationnelles en matière d'IA/ML, en définissant les structures, les étapes, les risques et un suivi clair des progrès

  • Faciliter les conversations complexes, synthétiser les diverses contributions et prendre des décisions claires et éclairées au sein des équipes chargées des produits, des plateformes, de la recherche, de l'industrie et des activités commerciales

  • Créer des documents, des résumés et des récits prêts à être présentés à la direction, qui simplifient les sujets complexes liés à l'IA et permettent aux parties prenantes de rester informées et alignées

  • Identifier les risques et les obstacles à un stade précoce, mettre en œuvre des plans d'atténuation et assurer une escalade rapide en cas de besoin

  • Maintenir un rythme prévisible pour les programmes, affiner en permanence les flux de travail et introduire des pratiques opérationnelles qui améliorent la transparence, la rapidité et la coordination interfonctionnelle

Qualifications minimales

  • 8 à 10 ans d'expérience dans la gestion de programmes, les opérations de portefeuille ou la mise en œuvre de programmes stratégiques

  • Expérience avérée dans la gestion de programmes complexes impliquant plusieurs parties prenantes et bénéficiant d'une visibilité auprès de la direction

  • Bonne connaissance des concepts d'IA/ML — capacité à comprendre et à synthétiser les discussions en collaboration avec les responsables techniques (aucune expertise technique pratique requise)

  • Capacité avérée à influencer sans autorité et à favoriser l'alignement entre diverses parties prenantes

  • Compétences exceptionnelles en matière de communication, d'analyse, de synthèse et de facilitation

  • Expérience dans l'élaboration de cadres décisionnels, de rythmes de programme et de structures de gouvernance de programme

  • Grande aisance à opérer dans l'ambiguïté et à créer de la clarté

  • Expérience avec les outils de programme (Airtable, Asana, Jira, Confluence ou équivalent) et les outils d'IA (ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude, etc.)

  • Passion pour l'innovation et l'amélioration continue

Qualifications souhaitées

  • Expérience dans le soutien ou la gestion de forums de direction, de comités de pilotage ou de conseils stratégiques

  • Expérience dans des environnements de produits basés sur l'IA/ML ou dans des domaines connexes (par exemple, science des données, recherche appliquée)
