Position Overview

Autodesk’s Sustainability Solutions Team accelerates the ideation, development, and support adoption of sustainability-focused technologies across Autodesk’s product portfolio. We partner closely with industry strategy, product, research, and customer-facing organizations to align Autodesk’s sustainability vision with actionable product strategies, customer value creation, and measurable environmental outcomes.

We are seeking a Sustainability Solutions Technical Advisor who will drive the exploration, definition, and acceleration of sustainability solutions across Autodesk’s emerging business areas. The Sustainability Solutions Technical Advisor operates at the intersection of customer demand, technical feasibility, and scalable product development, ensuring Autodesk’s sustainability solutions not only meet real-world needs while aligning with Autodesk’s platform and next-generation technology vision. Supporting both AECO Strategy and Cross-Industry Innovation, this role focuses on developing sustainable solutions in emerging markets and strategic business growth areas, including Autodesk Forma, Water, and Infrastructure.

As a strong user of Autodesk’s AECO software solutions, the ideal candidate blends customer empathy with systems thinking to drive novel solutions development — by understanding how sustainability challenges manifest in AECO and adjacent industries, and how emerging Autodesk technologies can unlock meaningful impact. Through deep collaboration with product, engineering, research, customer-facing teams, and strategy stakeholders, this role ensures that sustainability opportunities are grounded in customer value, are technically viable, and positioned to scale across sustainability solutions.

In this role, you will translate customer workflows, sustainability requirements, and industry trends into actionable product insights and solution prototypes that directly inform core product strategy as well as early-stage developments. This role requires a strong technical foundation, a hands-on prototyping mindset, and an eagerness to “roll up your sleeves” to explore concepts, test viability/feasibility, and iterate quickly with product teams. You will identify, shape, and launch sustainability solutions with a focus on emerging business priority areas, exploring agentic workflows and automation capabilities that can scale, while supporting core capabilities in embodied & operational carbon, biodiversity, circularity and resilience in the AECO portfolio.
