Senior Principal Product Manager

Autodesk is hiring a Senior Principal Product Manager to own the strategy, vision, and execution of pipeline management, forecasting, and AI-powered sales productivity. The role leads end-to-end forecasting and pipeline experiences for the global sales organization and defines AI-assisted capabilities that provide trusted insights and improve seller productivity.

Responsibilities:

• Own the product vision and multi-quarter roadmap for forecasting and pipeline management across Enterprise, Mid-Market, Strategic, and Territory segments, aligned to Autodesk's GTM strategy
• Define and prioritize scalable capabilities: pipeline creation, coverage, quality, and health; opportunity inspection and prioritization; commit, best-case, upside, roll-ups, and forecast confidence and explainability
• Identify and frame the highest-leverage problems through discovery with sellers, managers, SalesOps, and field leadership, converting insights into clear PRDs, measurable success criteria with baselines and targets, telemetry-first launches, and non-functional requirements
• Own the forecasting and pipeline management experiences end to end including forecast and pipeline workflows, forecast review and inspection experiences, dashboards, roll-ups, and manager and executive forecasting surfaces
• Serve as the primary product leader accountable for maximizing value across the sales organization
• Own the vendor relationships: influence the partner roadmaps on Autodesk's behalf, hold the vendor accountable to committed capability
• Define and execute the AI strategy for this domain, looking beyond vendor features to a differentiated internal roadmap built around connected agents that share context and hand work off to one another, including Forecasting Agents, Pipeline Agents, Seller Productivity Agents, etc
• Design experiences that let sellers review forecasts, manage pipeline, update opportunities, and act on recommendations through AI assistants, conversational interfaces, Slack, Microsoft Teams, mobile, and voice, rather than depending solely on a singular classic user interface, prioritizing reliability, explainability, and trust
• Establish frameworks for AI-assisted capabilities: adoption, task completion, seller satisfaction, error rates, and business impact
• Influence decisions as the forecasting and pipeline SME, recommend best practices, propose tradeoffs, and guide stakeholder decisions through clear narratives and data-backed reasoning, up to VP level
• Build alignment in a cross-functional manner, leveraging AI prototypes to generate rapid discovery alignment across the Forecasting Leadership, Sales Leaders/Managers/Reps, Sales Ops, and the various vendors

Requirements:

• 8 to 12+ years of product management experience in enterprise SaaS or GTM platforms, with demonstrated ownership of complex enterprise products at scale
• Demonstrated experience building forecasting or pipeline products in a complex B2B sales environment, including workflow design, accuracy, and adoption across global sales roles
• Deep, hands-on expertise across the full sales forecasting and pipeline lifecycle, from pipeline creation to executive roll-up, in a complex global B2B environment. This role requires an expert, not a fast learner
• Strong working knowledge of Salesforce Sales Cloud and forecasting tools like Clari
• A credible, hands-on point of view on enterprise AI, spanning predictive analytics, AI-driven recommendations, workflow automation, and agentic systems, paired with the judgment to recognize when an output is not trustworthy enough to ship
• Exceptional written, verbal, and visual communication, including the demo and narrative skills to persuade sales, engineering, and data leaders up to VP level
• Strong analytics capability, SQL or BI tooling, to define and monitor forecast accuracy, adoption, data quality, and pipeline health
• Familiarity with sales engagement and conversational intelligence platforms
