This is an individual contributor role with a path to people management.
Responsibilities
Capability
Own and keep current how we prioritize what gets benchmarked, weighing workflow value, strategic importance, and competitive relevance
Map benchmark priorities to Industry Cloud problem areas and judge what level of evidence each question requires
Define the comparison set evaluated against those priorities, covering Autodesk and external alternatives
Collaborate on evolution of relevant human metrics and comparisons
Turn benchmark results into clear read-outs on Autodesk capability relative to frontier models, competitor technology, and industry baselines, including for the C-suite
Evolve the channels and cadence through which we report capability and competitive position
Keep capability questions moving to answers on a timeline that matches the decisions they support, including work that depends on teams you do not manage
Partner closely with the technical benchmarking team, which owns task curation and evaluation, to shape what gets measured next
Value
Own the translation from capability to business value
Evolve how we measure ROI for our models
Take a capability improvement and connect it to the workflow it changes, the customers it affects, and the revenue or cost implications
Own the customer and industry validation standard we use to evaluate new business bets
Work with industry product teams to ground what we measure in the workflows their customers run, and to confirm that a measured improvement is one customers recognize and value
Reconcile benchmark evidence with customer evidence when the two disagree, and determine which should carry the decision
Competitive
Turn comparative results into a clear view of how Autodesk capabilities are evolving relative to the market, and set the priorities competitive research works against
Translate meaningful differences in capability into research questions and investment recommendations with AI Research and AI Economics, informing scenario planning and build versus partner decisions
Minimum qualifications
7+ years across strategy consulting, corporate or business strategy, technical product management, AI strategy, applied research, competitive intelligence, or related roles
Evaluation fluency. You can interrogate an evaluation result, challenge the metric, and determine whether a benchmark supports the conclusion being drawn from it
Business translation. You can take a change in capability and work through what it means for a workflow, a customer, a competitor, and ultimately a business decision
Structured problem solving. You are comfortable taking an ambiguous question, breaking it into the right components, working with incomplete evidence, and developing a defensible point of view
Movement between technical and business contexts. You can work credibly with researchers and engineers, then translate the relevant implications for executives without losing the substance
Momentum. You bring a working rhythm that others can plan around, and you help shorten the distance between a question being raised and an answer being available
Track record of influencing research, product, or investment priorities without direct authority
Strong analytical judgment and clear, concise executive communication
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
Preferred qualifications
Experience in strategy consulting, product strategy, or another role requiring structured analysis of complex technical or market questions
Experience using technical evidence, including benchmarks or evaluations, to inform product, research, or investment decisions
Experience with competitive intelligence, scenario planning, or technology landscape analysis
Familiarity with AI model evaluation or benchmarking. Direct hands-on experience is highly valuable but not required
Experience with unit economics, adoption modeling, or ROI analysis
Familiarity with Autodesk industries
Experience leading or mentoring analysts
