Position Overview

At Autodesk, we are not just building software; we are laying the digital foundation for the future of construction. Think of us as the tech-savvy foreman on the job site of innovation, delivering tools that make complex construction projects simpler, faster, and smarter. We are all about driving efficiency and productivity, one keystroke at a time. From Design to Preconstruction to ultimately Project Execution and Closeout, our tools streamline every phase of the project lifecycle. And that’s where you come in: helping us shape the strategy that makes project execution more effective, connected, and transformative for our customers.

Are you the kind of person who thrives on ensuring plans don’t just look good on paper but actually deliver in the field? Do you have a passion for solving real-world execution challenges and a flair for strategy? If you are ready to help construction teams, go from "project kickoff" to "project complete" with precision and efficiency, we want you as our Senior Strategy Manager, General Contractors (Project Execution).

As Senior Strategy Manager, General Contractors (Project Execution), you will be the expert voice advocating for general contractors, ensuring our solutions solve their most pressing project execution challenges. You will sit at the intersection of strategy, technology, and construction. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: ensure that Autodesk Construction Cloud sets the gold standard for project execution tools, making construction teams more efficient, collaborative, and successful. To achieve that, you will blend market insights, customer feedback, and industry expertise to define and then drive strategies that position our software as the project execution tool of choice for GCs everywhere. Your role will also focus on evaluating whether we should build solutions internally, partner with other industry players, or acquire existing technologies to achieve our strategic goals.
