Full Job Description
**Job Requisition ID #** 26WD98146 **Strategy & Operations Manager (Platform) - Remote** _French translation to follow!/Traduction française à suivre!_ **The Team** The Platform Portfolio Team is the "reality check" for the Platform **Strategy & Operations Manager**. The platform is the shared system that connects data, AI, and workflows across Autodesk’s products—so how it evolves directly shapes how work actually gets done across the company. We don't just track status; we ensure our biggest investments are grounded in how the work is going. As part of Platform Next, we give leaders the direct context they need to make hard calls on risks and tradeoffs by partnering closely with the Technical Program Management and Analytics & Insights teams. We are a small, high-impact team that cuts through the noise to ensure our decisions reflect execution reality, not just what's on a slide. **Position Overview** As a **Strategy & Operations Manager (Platform Portfolio)**, you ensure leadership makes the right decisions by translating complex execution into clear, usable context. You will be accountable for managing a portion of the portfolio spanning AI-driven capabilities, data and interoperability, developer platforms, and the underlying infrastructure that keeps the platform secure, reliable, and globally available. You aren't here to manage mechanics or move data around; you are here to understand the strategy and the work deeply enough to connect roadmap reality to business outcomes, surfacing the hard truths that leaders need to hear to make the platform viable and adoptable. **Responsibilities** * Support leaders to make high-stakes decisions: Frame the context for tradeoff decisions and make the tradeoffs explicit, even when the implications are uncomfortable * Check reality: Get to the truth of progress hiding behind status reports; identify where execution is drifting from strategy before it becomes a crisis * Surface the right signals: Be accountable for building
