* 26WD99307

** Position Overview*
* We are looking for a Finance Technology Principal Product Manager to lead the end-to-end Finance Close product strategy, with a specific focus on close process transformation, capability ownership, operational scalability, and M&A integration readiness. This role will sit at the intersection of Finance, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, FP&A, Corporate Development, Legal, Enterprise Applications, Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, and Business Architecture. The role will be responsible for helping define how Autodesk improves, automates, governs, and scales the Finance Close process across a complex global systems landscape.

The ideal candidate understands the full close lifecycle across upstream transactions, subledger activity, reconciliations, intercompany, consolidations, revenue recognition, tax, treasury, reporting, controls, and management reporting. They can identify process gaps, clarify ownership, define capability roadmaps, and translate Finance priorities into clear product requirements and execution plans. In addition, this person will play a key role in supporting mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and legal entity integrations by ensuring acquired businesses can be onboarded into Autodesk's finance ecosystem in a scalable, compliant, and operationally sustainable way.

This is not a traditional project management role. This person will own the Finance Close product roadmap and cross-functional decision framework needed to improve close performance, reduce manual work, strengthen controls, clarify capability ownership, and support future M&A activity.
