Job description
from Autodesk careersJob Requisition ID #
As part of Autodesk’s global Localization organization, the Senior Manager of Localization Program Management leads program strategy, operational execution, cross-functional governance, and financial management of localization across Autodesk’s product and platform ecosystem. This role partners closely—but distinctly with the Senior Manager of Localization Engineering, who owns technology, automation, and platforms.
This role owns planning, delivery, stakeholder alignment, operational scale, budget ownership, and business outcomes for localization across Autodesk.
You will lead a team of localization program managers responsible for orchestrating AI-enabled, multimodal, scalable localization workflows. Your team ensures predictable delivery, clear communication, data-driven decisions, and seamless execution across Autodesk for global market-readiness.
You report directly to the Head of Localization, alongside your partner leader in Localization Engineering.
Strategic Program Leadership
Own Autodesk’s enterprise localization program strategy, ensuring alignment with the Design & Make Platform and all functional organizations.
Partner closely with the Localization Engineering team to ensure program needs (capacity, tooling, quality insights, LQA signals, automation priorities) are met.
Drive readiness for global expansion, including market entry sequencing, linguistic quality governance, and compliance requirements.
Introduce program frameworks supporting forecasting, planning, prioritization, and scalable execution.
Anticipate program needs tied to AI-native features, generative content workflows, internationalization dependencies, and evolving market regulations.
