Position Overview
The Technology Excellence Project Manager will support the planning, coordination, and operational execution of Autodesk’s internal technical programs and events, including TechX and the Technical Leadership Forum. This role is focused on keeping the Technology Excellence team organized, aligned, and on track across multiple initiatives and timelines.
The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and skilled at building strong working relationships across diverse teams and personalities. This person should be an effective communicator who can adapt their communication style to different audiences, foster collaboration, and help create a positive, harmonious working environment. Success in this role requires someone who can keep teams aligned, maintain momentum, and bring people together while navigating shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
This is not an event production role or a role responsible for directing technical teams on how to build solutions. Instead, this person will help drive clarity, accountability, and communication, across a small internal team.
Experience with project tracking and organizational tools such as Airtable is helpful, but not required. Flexibility to travel occasionally for on-site support during events is preferred.

Maintain and manage project plans, timelines, deliverables, and tracking systems to support Technology Excellence programs and events
Help keep the Technology Excellence team organized by tracking priorities, action items, deadlines, and dependencies across initiatives
Coordinate across stakeholders to ensure updates, deliverables, and decisions are progressing on schedule
Facilitate team communication, status tracking, and follow-ups to maintain alignment and visibility
Build strong collaborative relationships across stakeholders, helping foster alignment, trust, and effective teamwork
Adapt communication approaches to different personalities, working styles, and levels within the organization
Help create a positive and organized team environment that encourages collaboration and smooth execution across initiatives
Identify risks, blockers, or gaps and proactively escalate or help coordinate resolution
Support planning and operational readiness for internal technical conferences and leadership forums
Assist with meeting coordination, documentation, and maintaining centralized project information
Help improve team processes, tracking methods, and organizational workflows over time
Provide operational and logistical support during conferences and team events as needed
Support post-event retrospectives and help document learnings and improvement opportunities for future cycles
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Project Management, Business Administration, Communications, or a related field preferred
3+ years of experience in project coordination, program management, operations, or related roles
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and deadlines simultaneously
Excellent communication and collaboration skills across cross-functional teams
Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build rapport and work effectively across diverse personalities and teams
High emotional intelligence and the ability to navigate differing communication and working styles professionally and collaboratively
Ability to proactively manage details, accept feedback, follow through on action items, and keep teams aligned
Comfortable working in fast-moving ambiguous environments with shifting priorities
Ability to remain calm, adaptable, and solutions-oriented in dynamic environments
Experience with project management or collaboration tools such as Airtable, Asana, Smartsheet, Jira, or similar platforms is a plus
Experience supporting internal programs, technical organizations, or corporate events is helpful but not required
Flexibility to travel occasionally for conferences or team activities
