Senior Principal Content Strategist

Job Requisition ID # 26WD101028

Position Overview

At Autodesk, we do what no other company can: we help our customers design and make anything. The Experience Foundations team at Autodesk plays a critical role in designing the experiences that make that mission a reality, especially in this transformative moment where seamless digital experiences and AI-powered innovation will empower customers and teams to achieve meaningful outcomes faster.

Within the Experience Foundations team for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction), we are seeking a Senior Principal Content Strategist for Forma Design. This team designs the AI-native industry cloud for the AEC lifecycle, enabling teams to make data-driven planning and early-design decisions, connect workflows, and drive collaboration. Reporting to a Senior Manager of Content Strategy, this role will define and advance content strategy that drives clear, coherent, and trusted customer experiences across Forma Design and adjacent platform experiences.

You'll work closely with content designers on other products with touchpoints to Forma, along with cross-functional partners, to connect user journeys and support Autodesk's broader platform vision. In addition to shaping user experiences, you will create scalable frameworks, governance models, and strategic approaches. You will also develop new AI-powered processes that help teams deliver high-quality experiences across products and customer touchpoints.

This moment requires us to work in new ways: using AI internally to improve how we operate, make decisions, and deliver experiences, while also building trusted AI capabilities that help our customers automate repetitive work, accelerate creativity, and unlock smarter, more connected workflows. To deliver on our vision, we need exceptional strategic leaders who are curious, adaptable and customer-focused to help shape the future of content strategy and experience design at Autodesk.

For consideration, you must include both a CV and portfolio with password when applying.
