Director, Platform & Productization

Job Requisition ID #

Position Overview

Autodesk's Technical Advisory organization is seeking a Director to lead the Platform & Productization team within Global Delivery & Solutions (GD&S). This is a pivotal leadership role at the center of Autodesk Consulting's transformation from traditional consulting to a digital consulting strategy—a fundamental shift driven by AI disruption in the technology and professional services markets.

Reporting to the Senior Director of GD&S, you will own the organization that transforms innovation and implementation intelligence—knowledge captured from hundreds of customer engagements—into scalable digital products and services that serve thousands of customers globally. You will lead Content & Knowledge, Product, Architecture, and Engineering teams to build and operate the platform infrastructure that powers Autodesk Consulting's new model: a unified digital experience combining AI-mediated access with human-delivered services.

This role requires both 0-to-1 product innovation and product scaling skills. You will drive rapid prototyping of new offerings while simultaneously scaling our digital offering and service catalog. You will need to ensure recommendations delivered through digital offerings are contextual, clear, and outcome-driven, balancing automation with human interaction. This includes making decisions where multiple implementation approaches exist, and ensuring advisory guidance remains consistent and credible across regions and industries.

You will work closely with the Senior Director and Autodesk Consulting leadership to define and adapt our digital strategy, then execute with velocity to deliver measurable business results. You will set up continuous feedback loops with delivery teams globally, learning from customer implementations to inform product priorities.

Success demands someone who thrives in ambiguity and moves fast—particularly as AI reshapes customer expectations for professional services. You will define success metrics and use data analytics to drive product decisions. You will coordinate across organizational boundaries while keeping a sharp focus on your domain. You can learn quickly, adapt continuously, and hold your team accountable for outcomes in a rapidly changing environment.
