Account Technical Lead

Overview

The Account Technical Lead (ATL) is a senior technical sales professional responsible for orchestrating technical strategy and engagement across a defined set of accounts or territories. Operating at the intersection of sales, technical specialists, and customers, the ATL ensures that Autodesk’s solutions are positioned effectively to drive business outcomes, adoption, and expansion.

This role acts as the technical quarterback for opportunities, coordinating technical resources (TSS, partners, and specialists), aligning solution strategy with customer priorities, and ensuring consistent, high‑quality execution across the opportunity lifecycle.

The ATL operates within Autodesk’s Sales Evolution framework, partnering closely with Account Executives (AE/AR) to drive pipeline progression, deal velocity, and long‑term customer value.

Success in this role is measured by the ability to prioritise effectively, orchestrate technical engagements at scale, influence deal outcomes, and drive repeatable, high‑impact technical strategies across accounts.
