Position Overview

At Autodesk, we do what no other company can: we help our customers design and make anything. The Experience Foundations team at Autodesk plays a critical role in designing the experiences that make that mission a reality, especially in this transformative moment where seamless digital experiences and AI-powered innovation will empower customers and teams to achieve meaningful outcomes faster.

Within the Experience Foundations team for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction), we are seeking a Senior Manager of Content Strategy to lead content strategy, the learning experience, and conversational design for Autodesk's agentic experience for a VP-led AI initiative. Reporting to the Senior Director of Content Strategy, this role will shape how content helps customers navigate complex and increasingly interconnected workflows across various products, understand product value for daily needs, and complete meaningful tasks across digital experiences and AI-powered interactions. As a senior leader, this person will define the content strategy direction for our agentic experience, including defining the appropriate personality, creating tone and voice frameworks, mapping the experience to critical user journeys, and establishing scalable practices, quality standards, and evaluation methods. They'll partner closely with Design, Product, Engineering, Research, and Operations to ensure content experiences are clear, cohesive, human-centered, effective, and ideally spark joy. This role will be instrumental in positioning content as a strategic lever to elevate the customer experience, drive product innovation and adoption, and create trust and transparency in a way that drives usage for better business outcomes.

This moment requires us to work in new ways—using AI internally to improve how we operate, make decisions, and deliver experiences, while also building trusted AI capabilities that help our customers automate repetitive work, accelerate creativity, and unlock smarter, more connected workflows. To deliver on our vision, we need exceptional contributors and leaders who are curious, adaptable, customer-focused, and excited to help shape the future of work at Autodesk.
