Senior Product Manager, PPL Technology

Job Requisition ID # 26WD100185 L'affichage de poste en français suivra / The French job posting follows. 26WD100185, Senior Product Manager, PPL Technology Position Overview 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.Today, too much of that experience is fragmented across disconnected tools.

We're moving PPL from that fragmented ecosystem to one seamless experience and intelligence layer, and we need Senior 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. This role calls for genuine learning agility, not just product experience.

The domains, tools, and skills it requires will keep shifting, especially as AI reshapes what a product team can own directly, and we need people who treat that as fuel, not friction.

We're looking for product managers who look around corners: who surface risks and opportunities before they become executive escalations, who set direction and make significant calls with minimal oversight, and whose pace is limited by the organization, not by their own judgment or execution. Responsibilities

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

Translate ambiguous employee and business problems into clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria

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

Partner with ESE engineering teams daily through build and delivery, acting as the accountable product voice from requirements through launch

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

Identify portfolio risks, redundancies, and opportunities early, and bring recommendations, not open questions, to leadership before they surface as escalations

Build new domain and technical fluency quickly as the portfolio and tools evolve, rather than waiting for structured training

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Business, Human Resources, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

8+ years of product management experience owning a product or platform from definition through delivery and operation

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

Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguous environments where requirements and ownership are not yet fully defined

A track record of picking up new domains, tools, or technical skills quickly and applying them under real deadlines

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical or process detail for both business and technical audiences

Preferred Qualifications

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 using generative AI or AI-assisted tools directly in product management workflows

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 Aperçu du Poste L'équipe People Insights & Solution Design (PI-SD) gère le portefeuille technologique de People & Places (PPL), la structure chargée des ressources humaines et de l'organisation des espaces de travail qui accompagne près de 15 000 collaborateurs d' Autodesk à travers le monde.

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.

Aujourd’hui, une trop grande partie de cette expérience est fragmentée entre des outils disparates.

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.

Vous travaillerez en étroite collaboration avec les équipes d’ingénierie, de conception d’expérience utilisateur, les responsables des Centres d’excellence PPL et la direction pour traduire les problèmes ambigus des collaborateurs et de l’entreprise en stratégie produit, en exigences et en résultats mesurables pour les clients de votre domaine.

Ce poste exige une véritable agilité d’apprentissage, et pas seulement une expérience en matière de produits.

Les domaines, les outils et les compétences requis ne cesseront d’évoluer, d’autant plus que l’IA redéfinit ce dont une équipe produit peut être directement responsable, et nous avons besoin de personnes qui considèrent cela comme un moteur et non comme un frein.

Nous recherchons des chefs de produit capables d’anticiper : qui identifient les risques et les 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 n’est limité que par l’organisation, et non par leur propre jugement ou leur capacité d’exécution.
