Job Requisition ID #
Position Overview
At Autodesk, we are not just building software; we are laying the digital foundation for the future of construction. Think of us as the tech-savvy foreman on the job site of innovation, delivering tools that make complex construction projects simpler, faster, and smarter. By empowering builders with both tools and data that help them successfully win and plan work, we are looking to change the way preconstruction is done today.
As Senior Strategy Manager, General Contractors (Preconstruction), you will be the expert voice advocating for general contractors, ensuring our solutions solve their most pressing preconstruction challenges. You will blend market insights, customer feedback, and industry expertise to define and then drive go-to-market and product strategies that position Autodesk Construction Cloud as the preconstruction tool of choice for GCs everywhere. Your role will also focus on evaluating whether we should build solutions internally, partner with other industry players, or acquire existing technologies to achieve our strategic goals. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop business cases, assess risks, and guide Autodesk’s strategic direction with respect to preconstruction.
Responsibilities
As Senior Strategy Manager, General Contractors (Preconstruction), you will be the go-to-expert for understanding the preconstruction landscape and workflows of our customers and driving strategic initiatives that align with our mission.
Market Insight and Analysis
Research and analyze preconstruction trends, customer needs, and competitor offerings
Identify emerging opportunities across preconstruction workflows including estimating, bidding, VDC, and risk management
Translate market insights into actionable recommendations for product development and go-to-market strategies
Customer-Centric Advocacy
Engage directly with preconstruction teams at general contractors to gather insights, validate solutions, and foster relationships
Act as the internal voice of the GC customer, ensuring their preconstruction needs are reflected in our product roadmaps
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success) to champion a shared vision for preconstruction excellence
Industry Engagement
Act as a thought leader for preconstruction, representing Autodesk at conferences, webinars, and customer meetings
Collaborate with customers and industry experts through product advisory groups and other forums to validate solutions and gather feedback
Build relationships with preconstruction focused technology start-ups and grow our ecosystem of third-party partners integrating with Autodesk Construction Cloud
Engineer the Strategy
Develop and refine both our preconstruction vision and go-to-market strategies for general contractors
Build business cases for product and go-to-market expansion through either organic and/or inorganic methods and backed by data and customer feedback
Monitor and measure the success of strategic initiatives through established KPIs, changing course as needed
Minimum Qualifications
You are a strategic thinker who understands the nuances of preconstruction and knows how to turn insights into impactful action. Comfortable with diving deep into data, you never lose sight of the bigger picture. Moreover, you are as comfortable analyzing data in a spreadsheet or creating a presentation as you are walking a job site. Here's what we are looking for:
Experience: 5+ years in construction, strategy, management consulting, or related fields, ideally with a focus on preconstruction or construction technology. We love MBAs for their ability to structure chaos, but if you’ve earned your stripes in the school of experience, we are all ears
Industry Knowledge: Knowledge of general contractors’ preconstruction workflows and challenges is a must (bonus points if you can speak fluent “bid-day panic”)
Data-Driven Storyteller: You know how to turn market data into actionable insights—and actionable insights into inspiring strategies
Customer Obsessed: Skilled at listening to and understanding customer pain points and translating them into impactful solutions
Collaborative Leader: Proven ability to work across teams, influence without authority, and rally diverse stakeholders around a shared vision
Effective Communicator: You can translate complex ideas into clear, compelling stories for executives, customers, and internal teams
Agile Thinker: Comfortable shifting gears and recalibrating in the face of new information
Why join us?
Be part of a company transforming how the world builds
Work with a team of curious, driven, and hilarious humans who value ideas as much as they value fun
Enjoy competitive compensation, benefits, and professional development opportunities
Make a tangible impact on an industry that shapes our cities, communities, and lives
