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)

  • ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
