About the role

  • This leader will have full latitude to influence and shape the organization, operating model, and technical architecture needed to execute that vision.
  • There is real capability here and real work in flight.
  • What this leader brings is the strategic clarity, architectural conviction, and organizational authority to take that capability to a fundamentally different level of scale and impact.

Responsibilities

  • Define and own Autodesk's enterprise intelligence architecture - the data foundations, agent infrastructure, and governance layer that sit above existing enterprise systems and connect them into a unified, reasoning whole
  • Establish and drive the enterprise data strategy, including governance, quality, classification, access controls, and retention across cloud, application, and security domains
  • Lead the transition from application-centric data silos toward a unified data foundation built on open standards, ensuring Autodesk's data remains portable, owned, and available for AI reasoning across the full organization
  • Define the framework for identifying where Autodesk's unique business logic - its decisions, rules, and workflows - lives inside vendor systems, and drive its extraction into open standards the company permanently owns
  • Collaborate with analytics domain leaders across the company to establish common practices, shared standards, and a consistent approach to data and AI that scales beyond any single team
  • Lead and accelerate the enterprise AI portfolio - moving active initiatives from pipeline through production with urgency and rigor, in close partnership with the business functions being served
  • Drive build vs. buy vs. partner decisions with discipline - leveraging vendor AI capabilities where appropriate while protecting investment in Autodesk-owned, differentiated intelligence
  • Establish the working model for the full agent lifecycle - design, build, test, deploy, and maintain - creating the repeatable engineering discipline that makes agentic AI safe, scalable, and continuously improvable
  • Partner with Autodesk's Trust organization to adopt, adapt, and extend the enterprise AI governance framework - applying existing standards for model risk, bias evaluation, privacy-by-design, and ethical AI to AIDA's programs and accelerating their maturation
  • Extend and enforce policies governing what data can interact with which AI systems, including third-party and vendor AI tools, building on the Trust team's existing framework at the architecture level

Requirements

  • 15+ years in technology leadership, with a material portion spent owning enterprise AI, data platforms, or intelligent automation at scale - not just advising on them
  • Experience leading or rebuilding organizations through strategic transition - knows how to inherit a team, assess honestly, change what needs changing, and keep the best people through it
  • Proven track record leading Data Science and Data Engineering functions at scale - not just as a technical practitioner, but as the leader accountable for the team, the platform, and the outcomes.
