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.

We are seeking a Principal Conversational Designer to help define and deliver conversational design for Autodesk's agentic experience within the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) organization for an AI initiative led by the Vice President of Experience Foundations. Reporting to a Senior Manager of Content Strategy, this role will shape how customers interact with AI-powered products and workflows through natural, intuitive, and trustworthy conversational experiences. As a principal-level individual contributor, this person will create experiences that move conversations forward, provide trust and transparency, anticipate and respond to shifting user needs and behavior, and help users complete meaningful tasks in ways that ideally spark joy. They'll also partner closely with product, UX, engineering, research, and AI teams to turn emerging agent capabilities into clear, effective, and human-centered experiences that plug into daily workflows and broader multi-product ecosystems. This role is critical to ensuring Autodesk's agentic experiences are useful, context-aware, scalable, and aligned with customer needs and business goals.

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 contributors and leaders who are curious, adaptable, customer-focused, and excited to help shape the future of work at Autodesk.
