Sr Principal Product Manager, Platform

Autodesk•AMER - Canada - Ontario - Offsite/Home, ON

1d•CA$119,200 - CA$195,800

About The Position

We are building a SaaS platform that packages Autodesk Consulting’s intellectual property — proven workflows, implementation guidance, learning content, and tooling recommendations — into a scalable digital experience that connects customers and internal Autodesk consultants to the knowledge they need to drive successful digital transformation. This is a platform built at the intersection of knowledge management, content delivery, and AI-assisted discovery, and it is evolving rapidly. As Senior Principal Product Manager, you will own the full platform — the foundation on which our Solutions, Services, and advisory experiences are built. You will define and drive the product vision and roadmap, work directly with lead architects and engineering teams across India and Poland, partner closely with our UI/UX designer, and collaborate with Product Owners who manage sprint-level delivery across multiple scrum teams. You will also serve as the connective tissue between three critical stakeholder groups: the customers and Autodesk consultants who use the platform daily, and the Solutions and Services PMs who have a stake in how their content and services are experienced and consumed. This is a role for someone who is energized by building. The platform is new, the market opportunity is significant, and the roadmap reflects that ambition. The person in this role will thrive on creating structure in a fast-moving environment, making high-quality decisions with incomplete information, and shaping a product that is still defining what it can become.
