10+ years
Job Requisition ID # 26WD95998
Position Overview
Autodesk's Technical Advisory organization is building a digital consulting platform that systematizes implementation expertise from hundreds of enterprise technology engagements into scalable digital products and services. The platform must handle structured knowledge assets, consulting tools, analytics, and integrated service delivery across Autodesk's customer base in architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and media and entertainment.
The Senior Manager, Architecture will serve as the technical leadership anchor for this platform, reporting to the Director of Platform & Productization within Global Delivery & Solutions. You will own the platform architecture and non-functional requirements — system design, integration strategy, knowledge data models, and architectural standards. You will partner with corporate security, infrastructure, and platform teams on shared concerns including compliance, observability, and enterprise identity.
This role requires someone who can think beyond building a traditional web application. The platform must serve implementation knowledge to human users and increasingly to AI-powered tools and workflows. As how customers consume consulting expertise evolves, the architecture must be flexible enough to support that evolution while keeping knowledge trustworthy and well-governed.
In the first year, you will deliver a reference architecture and phased technical roadmap, validate the knowledge data model, and establish production readiness standards.
You will lead a team of architects and technical specialists while also operating as a hands-on technical contributor on foundational decisions. You will partner closely with product management to translate business requirements into technical strategy, with engineering to ensure buildability and operational readiness, and with content and knowledge teams on knowledge representation requirements.
