Manager, Journey Management-UK

In Autodesk AEC Construction, our mission is to help teams meet the world’s rapidly expanding building and infrastructure needs while making construction more predictable, safe, and sustainable.

Reporting to the Sr. Director, AEC, User Success, the Journey Manager, User Success is responsible for transforming how the organization understands, prioritizes, and delivers value to users by operationalizing Critical User Journeys (CUJs) as a core decision-making framework. This role sits at the centre of our shift toward a mature, AI-powered product insights function—ensuring that user needs, behaviours, and outcomes are continuously connected to product strategy and execution.

This role exists to solve a critical gap: while user insights are generated across research, analytics, and feedback systems, they are often fragmented and underutilized in driving end-to-end product decisions. The Journey Manager establishes a living system of journeys, personas, and opportunities that enables teams to align around what matters most, prioritize effectively, and measure impact over time.

Working across domains, this role connects qualitative insight, quantitative data, and business context into a unified view of the user experience. The Journey Manager is accountable for ensuring that journeys are not static artifacts, but dynamic, continuously evolving systems that guide investment decisions, shape AI-driven innovation, and improve user and business outcomes.

Success in this role means shifting the organization from episodic, project-based understanding of users to continuous, system-level insight—enabling faster decision-making, more coherent experiences, and measurable improvements in adoption, satisfaction, and growth. This role is expected to operate with a high degree of ownership across ambiguous problem spaces, shaping both the system and the outcomes. You will create clear strategic direction, influence decisions across functions, and ensure that user understanding translates into measurable product and business impact.

Location: UK

Travel: Quarterly for team meetings and conferences.
