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 Principal Content Strategist to lead system-level content strategy for Autodesk’s agentic for a VP-led AI initiative. Reporting to a Senior Manager of Content Strategy, this role will be responsible for defining how conversational guidance, product voice, artifact language, and learning scaffolding work together to create a cohesive, intuitive, and high-trust AI-native experience as product capabilities evolve. As a senior strategic leader, this person will architect the content frameworks and governance models that enable AI agents to communicate clearly, act helpfully, and scale consistently across industries, use cases, and increasingly interconnected workflows across multiple products. They will also help shape user interfaces and customer experiences that are easy to use, provide transparency and control, manage expectations, and ideally spark joy. The content systems they help develop will be able to evolve as quickly as the product, supporting frequent releases with a unified, outcome-oriented user experience in a measurable way.
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.
For consideration, candidates must include both a resume + portfolio with password when applying.

- Define success metrics for content quality and effectiveness and partner with cross-functional teams to evaluate and continuously improve the experience through research and iteration
- Mentor others and raise the practice of content strategy by modeling strong systems thinking, AI-forward ways of working, and high standards for craft and execution
- Collaborate with content strategists across AEC's product teams to ensure product-specific considerations are accounted for and create cohesion across the product ecosystem
