Job Requisition ID # 26WD100185 L'affichage de poste en français suivra / The French job posting follows. 26WD100185, Principal Product Manager, PPL Technology Position Overview People Insights & Solution Design (PI-SD) owns the technology portfolio for People & Places (PPL), the HR and workplace organization supporting nearly 15,000 Autodesk employees worldwide. PI-SD builds the experience and intelligence layer above Workday and other systems of record, so the logic and insight generated by Autodesk's people and workplace data stay owned by Autodesk, not captured by vendors.Today, too much of that experience is fragmented across disconnected tools. We're moving PPL from that fragmented ecosystem to one seamless experience and intelligence layer, and we need Principal Product Managers to own that shift for an assigned domain, from problem definition through delivery, adoption, and ongoing optimization.

You will work directly with engineering, experience design teams, PPL Centers of Excellence leaders, and senior leaders to translate ambiguous employee and business problems into product strategy, requirements and measurable outcomes for your domain customers. This role calls for genuine learning agility, not just product experience. The domains, tools, and skills it requires will keep shifting, especially as AI reshapes what a product team can own directly, and we need people who treat that as fuel, not friction.

We're looking for product managers who look around corners: who surface risks and opportunities before they become executive escalations, who set direction and make significant calls with minimal oversight, and whose pace is limited by the organization, not by their own judgment or execution.

Responsibilities

Own product strategy and roadmap for an assigned PPL domain portfolio, for example Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, Compensation & Rewards, Employee Support & Services, Workplace & Travel Experience, or PI-SD's AI-enabled products, applying build versus buy principles and the six-dimension evaluation framework used across the PPL portfolio Own visibility across every tool, vendor, and contract in your domain, and drive renewal, divestment, and consolidation decisions backed by business cases through the quarterly PPL leadership technology review Translate ambiguous employee and business problems into clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria Own the experience and intelligence layer for your domain, keeping Workday and other systems of record as infrastructure while PPL owns the logic built on top of them Partner with ESE engineering teams daily through build and delivery, acting as the accountable product voice from requirements through launch Apply the vendor capture test to every AI capability in your domain: is it trained on data Autodesk owns and controls,



or does it represent vendor capture of Autodesk's logic? Use AI directly in your own research, analysis, prioritization, and execution Build trust and alignment across technical and business stakeholders, and drive decisions without relying on direct authority Drive adoption of what you build, including bringing stakeholders who previously owned their own tech decisions through the transition to a centralized model with trust intact Define and own the KPIs for your domain, connecting product-level metrics to the broader PPL talent strategy, and build the dashboards and leading indicators that make performance visible before problems compound Identify portfolio risks, redundancies, and opportunities early, and bring recommendations, not open questions, to leadership before they surface as escalations Build new domain and technical fluency quickly as the portfolio and tools evolve, rather than waiting for structured training.
