Senior Product Manager, Construction AI

About the role

This role is responsible for leading a portfolio of AI assistant workflows across Autodesk Construction Cloud. It involves translating construction workflows into AI product opportunities, balancing innovation with responsible AI practices, and driving execution across complex cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Construction AI assistant workflows across Autodesk Construction Cloud
• Translate customer pain points, market signals, AI capabilities, and business priorities into a clear, sequenced roadmap
• Prioritize opportunities across answer-finding, project intelligence, workflow automation, document understanding, drawing/model interactions, and agentic actions
• Identify where AI can create differentiated customer value versus where deterministic workflow, rules, UX, or platform improvements are more appropriate
• Partner with product leadership to align Construction AI investments with Autodesk’s broader platform, data, and AI strategy
• Develop deep understanding of construction personas, including project managers, superintendents, VDC/BIM teams, project engineers, estimators, document controllers, account/project admins, and executives
• Conduct customer discovery to identify workflows where AI can reduce search time, rework, risk, delay, and administrative burden
• Build fluency in construction documents and workflows such as RFIs, submittals, specifications, issues, meetings, schedules, drawings, models, change orders, and project administration
• Monitor construction technology, AI assistant, agentic workflow, and construction automation trends to identify opportunities and competitive threats
• Represent the voice of the customer in product, engineering, data science, and executive discussions
• Collaborate on AI evaluation methods, prompt and agent behavior, retrieval quality, grounding, permissions, observability, and model performance
• Ensure AI experiences are useful in real construction practice, not merely technically correct
• Define product requirements for responsible AI, including transparency, user control, provenance, escalation paths, quality thresholds, and human-in-the-loop review
• Work with platform and data teams to leverage construction knowledge graphs, project context, permissions, and workflow data to improve assistant quality and trust
• Lead cross-functional product execution from discovery through beta, GA, adoption, and iteration
• Make difficult roadmap tradeoffs using customer impact, technical feasibility, AI readiness, business value, risk, cost, and adoption data
• Partner with design to create intuitive assistant and automation experiences embedded directly into customer workflows
• Partner with engineering to manage dependencies, sequencing, release planning, technical constraints, and operational readiness
• Work with Trust, Legal, Privacy, Security, and Responsible AI teams to ensure AI capabilities meet Autodesk standards and customer expectations
• Drive product launches in partnership with Product Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Support, Enablement, and field teams
• Define success metrics for AI assistant workflows, including adoption, task completion, answer quality, automation success, time saved, customer satisfaction, trust, retention, and business impact
• Collaborate on product analytics, customer feedback, model evaluation, support signals, and field input to guide roadmap decisions
• Establish feedback loops that continuously improve AI quality, usability, and workflow relevance
• Communicate product performance, roadmap progress, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to stakeholders and senior leaders
• Establish a clear, compelling roadmap for Construction AI assistant workflows
• Deliver measurable progress on one or more high-value assistant or agentic workflow areas
• Improve clarity around where AI should answer, recommend, automate, or defer to a human
• Define repeatable product patterns for trusted AI workflows in construction
• Increase customer confidence, usage, and adoption of Autodesk’s Construction AI portfolio

Requirements

• 5+ years of product management experience in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, AI/ML products, construction technology, or related domains

• Experience working with engineering, design, data science, research, and go-to-market teams in a cross-functional product development environment
• Strong understanding of AI/ML product concepts, including LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt behavior, AI evaluation, model quality, human-in-the-loop workflows, and responsible AI considerations
• Ability to translate ambiguous customer problems into clear product strategy, requirements, milestones, and measurable outcomes
• Strong analytical skills and experience defining metrics to evaluate product success
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to influence senior leaders and align teams around tradeoffs
• Familiarity with construction workflows, construction project data, or construction technology platforms
• Experience working with contractors, owners, architects, engineers, VDC/BIM teams, or construction administrators
• Experience defining AI evaluation frameworks, quality metrics, ground-truth datasets, or model/product acceptance criteria
• Experience launching products in enterprise environments with privacy, security, compliance, permissioning, and governance requirements
• Ability to engage credibly with technical teams on architecture, data pipelines, APIs, model orchestration, MCP-style integrations, cost/performance tradeoffs, and platform scalability

Qualifications

• Direct experience building AI assistants, copilots, agents, workflow automation, document intelligence, search, knowledge graph, or enterprise AI products
• Deep familiarity with Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, Trimble, Bentley, Nemetschek, Oracle Primavera, or other construction technology platforms
