Senior Technical Program Manager, Fusion Platform

Position Overview

Autodesk is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to join the Platform Programs team within the Fusion Platform organization under Product Design and Manufacturing Solutions (PDMS). This role drives programs that deliver the shared platform services and standards underpinning multiple products and workflows.

The Fusion Platform organization is on a multi-year journey to transform design-to-manufacturing workflows by converging cloud-based, device-independent, and highly scalable platform technologies. As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will independently own and drive execution of complex, cross-organizational platform initiatives that span multiple Scrum teams and technical domains.

The Fusion Platform supports a hybrid-cloud architecture, spanning cloud services and rich client applications, which introduces unique scale, reliability, and delivery challenges. Reporting directly to the Director, Platform Programs, you will operate independently within a defined platform domain, with a high degree of autonomy and visibility. You will serve as the connective tissue between platform strategy, architecture, and execution across engineering, product, and business stakeholders.

This role requires a highly proactive, judgment-driven approach, actively seeking out information, anticipating risks, and taking action without waiting for direction. Success in this role depends on the ability to work effectively across organizational silos, aligning teams with different priorities, incentives, and operating models toward shared platform outcomes. It also requires strong stakeholder empathy : the ability to understand differing perspectives, constraints, and motivations, and to use that understanding to build trust and alignment across teams.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-team platform programs within an assigned platform domain, from planning through release and adoption

Translate platform strategy and architectural intent into coordinated, actionable execution plans in ambiguous, evolving problem spaces

Proactively own and curate program-level visibility across multiple Scrum teams by pulling information, analyzing trends, and surfacing risks and insights early

Identify, track, and proactively resolve cross-team dependencies, systemic risks, and delivery blockers, escalating with clear impact when appropriate

Define, evolve, and enforce the program operating model for assigned initiatives, balancing standardization with team-level autonomy

Establish, maintain, and reinforce clear ownership and accountability across program stakeholders by defining roles, responsibilities, and decision boundaries (e.g., RACI, stakeholder maps)

Apply independent technical judgment to evaluate tradeoffs and surface implications for delivery, sequencing, and risk in partnership with Engineering, Architecture, and Product Management

Synthesize fragmented information into clear, executive-ready narratives that support timely, well-informed decisions

Use data, metrics, and AI-enabled tools to evaluate program health, track delivery trends, identify risks, and support informed decision-making, maintaining a high bar for accuracy and rigor in program artifacts and reporting

Drive adoption of platform technologies, standards, and best practices across contributing teams to maximize downstream value and consistency

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field

8+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager, Technical Product Manager, or equivalent role

Proven experience independently leading large-scale, cross-team platform or systems programs in a fast-paced, Agile software development environment

Strong technical aptitude with the ability to engage deeply in engineering and architectural discussions and assess tradeoffs

Demonstrated ability to operate proactively in ambiguous environments, seeking out information, anticipating risks, and driving alignment without waiting for direction

Demonstrated ability to influence without authority across organizational boundaries

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level communication

Passion for operational excellence, clarity, and continuous improvement

Experience leveraging Jira and Confluence to manage and communicate complex, multi-team programs

Demonstrated commitment to continuous learning and adapting in evolving technical and organizational environments

Ability to travel as required (less than 25%)

Preferred Qualifications

Prior experience in a software engineering, systems engineering, or architecture role, or equivalent hands-on technical experience

Experience delivering platform, infrastructure, or systems-level software used by multiple product teams

Experience delivering software in hybrid-cloud or distributed system environments, including coordination across cloud services and client applications

Familiarity with Agile and Agile-at-scale frameworks (e.g., Scrum, SAFe, LeSS), with or without formal certification

Project or program management certification (e.g., PMP, Agile, Scrum), or equivalent demonstrated experience

Experience working on developer platforms, APIs, or shared services

Experience applying AI-assisted tools or analytics to proactively improve delivery predictability, operational efficiency, or program insight
