Operations Manager - Product Teams (remote)

Autodesk Autodesk · Enterprise · Toronto, ON +6 · Remote

Operations Manager for Product Teams focused on reducing friction for Product Managers by building dashboards, automations, and operational tooling. The role emphasizes using AI to automate "work about work" and redesign workflows with AI as part of the operating model. Success depends on influencing teams without formal authority and building trust through practical solutions that improve how product teams operate.
