26WD100185, Principal Product Manager, PPL Technology 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.
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. 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 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 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 Build new domain and technical fluency quickly as the portfolio and tools evolve, rather than waiting for structured training Bachelor's degree in Business, Human Resources, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience ~Experience operating with minimal oversight, setting direction, and influencing senior stakeholders to make significant product decisions independently ~ Experience partnering directly with engineering teams to scope, sequence, and ship technical work ~ A track record of picking up new domains, tools, or technical skills quickly and applying them under real deadlines ~ Solid written and verbal communication skills,



with the ability to translate complex technical or process detail for both business and technical audiences Experience with HR or people technology platforms, for example Workday, Eightfold, or learning and talent systems Experience building or scaling internal enterprise products, data platforms, or integration services Experience in a high-ownership, high-velocity product organization where senior product managers operate with significant autonomy and are expected to proactively identify problems and opportunities rather than wait to be assigned them 26WD100185, Chef de produit senior, PPL Technology PI-SD développe la couche d'expérience et d'intelligence qui s'appuie sur Workday et d'autres systèmes de référence, afin que la logique et les informations générées par les données relatives au personnel et aux espaces de travail d'Autodesk restent la propriété d'Autodesk, sans être capturées par des fournisseurs. Nous faisons évoluer PPL de cet écosystème fragmenté vers une couche d’expérience et d’intelligence homogène, et nous avons besoin de chefs de produit seniors pour piloter cette transition dans un domaine qui leur sera attribué, depuis la définition du problème jusqu’à la mise en œuvre, l’adoption et l’optimisation continue. Ce poste exige une véritable agilité d’apprentissage, et pas seulement une expérience en matière de produits. Nous recherchons des chefs de produit capables d’anticiper : qui identifient les risques et opportunités avant qu’ils ne deviennent des problèmes remontés à la direction, qui définissent la direction à suivre et prennent des décisions importantes avec un minimum de supervision, et dont le rythme est limité que par l’organisation, et non par leur propre jugement ou leur capacité d’exécution.
