Event Project Manager

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.
