• Develop expertise in construction documents and workflows, including RFIs, submittals, specifications, issues, meetings, schedules, drawings, models, change orders, and project administration.

• Keep abreast of trends in construction technology, AI assistants, agentic workflows, and construction automation to spot opportunities and competitive challenges.

• Advocate for the customer's perspective in discussions involving product, engineering, data science, and executive teams.

• Collaborate closely with engineering, data science, design, and architecture teams to define AI-powered assistant experiences from inception to launch.

• Draft clear product requirements, user stories, success criteria, expected model behavior, and acceptance criteria for AI workflows.

• Work together on AI evaluation techniques, prompt and agent behavior, retrieval quality, grounding, permissions, observability, and model performance.

• Ensure that AI experiences are practically beneficial in real construction scenarios, beyond just being technically accurate.

• Establish product requirements for responsible AI, including aspects of transparency, user control, provenance, escalation paths, quality thresholds, and human-in-the-loop review.

• Collaborate with platform and data teams to utilize construction knowledge graphs, project context, permissions, and workflow data to enhance assistant quality and trust.

• Lead the cross-functional execution of products from discovery through beta, general availability, adoption, and iterative improvements.

• Make challenging roadmap trade-offs based on customer impact, technical feasibility, AI readiness, business value, risk, cost, and adoption data.

• Work with design teams to create intuitive assistant and automation experiences seamlessly integrated into customer workflows.

• Partner with engineering teams to manage dependencies, sequencing, release planning, technical limitations, and operational readiness.

• Collaborate with Trust, Legal, Privacy, Security, and Responsible AI teams to ensure AI capabilities adhere to Autodesk standards and meet customer expectations.

• Drive product launches in collaboration with Product Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Support, Enablement, and field teams.
