Senior Product Manager, Construction AI

26WD98284

Position Overview

As a Senior Product Manager, Construction AI, you will lead a portfolio of AI assistant workflows across Autodesk Construction Cloud. You will work at the intersection of construction domain expertise, AI/ML capabilities, customer workflows, platform services, and product execution. You will be responsible for identifying the highest-value customer problems, shaping product strategy, defining requirements, prioritizing roadmap investments, and partnering with engineering, design, data science, research, legal, trust, GTM, and customer-facing teams to deliver trusted AI experiences at scale. This is a high-ambiguity, high-impact role for someone who can translate construction workflows into AI product opportunities, balance innovation with responsible AI practices, and drive 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

• Partner closely with engineering, data science, design, and architecture teams to define AI-powered assistant experiences from concept through launch

• Write clear product requirements, user stories, success criteria, model behavior expectations, and acceptance criteria for AI workflows

• 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

• Partner 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

• Use 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

• Build alignment across product, engineering, data science, design, GTM, and leadership

• 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

Minimum Qualifications

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

• Demonstrated experience owning product vision, roadmap, prioritization, requirements, and execution for complex products

• 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

Preferred 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

• Experience with construction workflows such as RFIs, submittals, specifications, issues, schedules, drawings, models, takeoff, estimating, change management, or field execution

• 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

• Strong product judgment in deciding when to use AI automation, AI assistance, deterministic workflow, rules-based systems, or human review

• Ability to engage credibly with technical teams on architecture, data pipelines, APIs, model orchestration, MCP-style integrations, cost/performance tradeoffs, and platform scalability

The Ideal Candidate

You are a product leader who is excited by the opportunity to apply AI to real construction problems. You are equally comfortable talking with a superintendent about field documentation, a project manager about RFIs, a data scientist about model quality, an engineer about platform constraints, and an executive about business impact.

You are not looking to build AI for its own sake. You care about whether AI produces useful, trusted, workflow-integrated outcomes for construction professionals. You can navigate ambiguity, make disciplined tradeoffs, and drive execution across teams without losing sight of customer value.

You bring curiosity, product rigor, technical fluency, construction empathy, and a strong bias toward measurable outcomes.
