Position Overview
Autodesk is seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead product strategy and execution for Safety workflows in Forma Build, while helping shape the broader direction for Quality and related field workflows across construction operations.
This is a highly strategic product leadership role for a PM who can define direction for a critical workflow area while ensuring strong execution against goals and commitments with development teams. You will work closely across R&D, Strategy, and GTM to identify high-value opportunities, align investments, and bring differentiated workflow solutions to market for construction customers.
The right candidate brings deep expertise in construction field operations and can translate industry knowledge into clear product strategy, roadmap direction, and execution priorities. This role requires a strong understanding of Safety workflows and meaningful knowledge of Quality and other field-related construction workflows, along with the ability to operate effectively in a complex SaaS environment. The ideal candidate also understands how to leverage AI to accelerate product development and improve the effectiveness of discovery, planning, prioritization, and delivery.
This role is well suited for a principal-level PM who can operate at multiple altitudes: setting long-term vision, influencing cross-functional strategy, guiding roadmap decisions, and staying close enough to execution to ensure teams deliver meaningful outcomes. This role is hybrid in Boston, MA.
