Principal Program Manager, Marketing Strategy & Planning

Autodesk is a company that empowers innovators to turn their ideas into reality through their software. They are seeking a Principal Program Manager to lead the Flow Studio initiative, ensuring effective execution across product, marketing, and engineering teams while driving clarity and speed in a complex environment.

Responsibilities:

• Flow Studio delivers against its most critical milestones with speed, clarity, and high-quality execution
• Leaders have high confidence in the program because decisions are well-framed, tradeoffs are explicit, and progress is transparent
• Teams operate as a cohesive system, with minimal friction and clear ownership across boundaries
• The hardest problems surface early and are resolved quickly, rather than escalating late
• The program consistently moves faster than expected without creating chaos
• Flow Studio becomes a model for how Autodesk runs complex, cross-functional initiatives
• You are trusted as a thought partner to senior leadership, not just a program lead
• Exceptional ability to simplify complexity, bringing structure, clarity, and focus to ambiguous situations
• Comfort operating in fast-moving, zero-to-one or highly iterative environments
• Own the end-to-end success of the Flow Studio program, from early-stage definition through launch and scale
• Act as the single integrator across product, marketing, creative, engineering, and go-to-market, ensuring decisions and execution are tightly connected
• Shape, not just execute, program strategy by helping leaders clarify priorities, sequencing, and tradeoffs
• Drive clarity on what matters most, cutting through noise and aligning teams on a focused set of outcomes
• Establish and run the operating model for the program, including planning, prioritization, decision forums, and execution tracking
• Proactively identify risks, misalignment, and hidden dependencies, and resolve them before they impact delivery
• Ensure tight coupling between product readiness and go-to-market execution, including feature delivery, storytelling, and launch sequencing
• Partner closely with GET and technology teams to translate business requirements into deliverable systems and ensure reliable execution
• Create real-time visibility into progress, risks, and outcomes, enabling fast, informed decision-making at the leadership level
• Build scalable, repeatable program frameworks that can be reused across future, high-priority Autodesk initiatives
