Job Description
Job Requisition ID #26WD98840Position OverviewWe are building a SaaS platform that packages Autodesk Consulting's intellectual property - proven workflows, implementation guidance, learning content, and tooling recommendations - into a scalable digital experience that connects customers and internal Autodesk consultants to the knowledge they need to drive successful digital transformation. The platform is new, the roadmap is ambitious, and the details matter enormously.
As Platform Product Owner, you sit at the critical intersection of product vision and engineering execution. You work closely with the Platform Product Manager to deeply understand strategic intent, and you are responsible for translating that intent into well-defined, sprint-ready user stories that development teams can build with confidence. You collaborate closely with our UI/UX designer to ensure high-fidelity wireframes and prototypes reflect both the product vision and the detailed requirements that make them buildable. You work directly with scrum teams across India and Poland to clarify requirements at the detail level, resolve ambiguity, and maintain alignment between what gets built and what was intended.
This role requires someone who is energized by the craft of breaking complex problems into clear, executable work - and who understands that maintaining the integrity of the product vision through the details of execution is one of the most important and underappreciated skills in product development.
ResponsibilitiesBreak down high-level epics and product requirements into clearly defined, sprint-ready user stories with well-articulated acceptance criteriaDevelop a deep understanding of the platform product vision and serve as its guardian at the execution layer, ensuring that detail-level decisions remain true to strategic intentWork closely with the Platform Product Manager to clarify priorities and translate roadmap direction into actionable work for scrum teamsCollaborate with the UI/UX designer to ensure wireframes and prototypes accurately reflect detailed requirements before development beginsPartner with globally distributed scrum teams in India and Poland to answer questions, resolve ambiguity, and maintain development momentumIdentify gaps, inconsistencies, or risks in requirements early, and escalate or resolve them before they impact deliveryMaintain and manage the product backlog, ensuring it is well-organized, up to date, and accurately reflects current prioritiesAdapt to shifting team assignments and priorities as the product and operating model evolve Minimum Qualifications4+ years of experience in a product ownership or equivalent roleDemonstrated ability to break down complex, ambiguous product requirements into well-defined, executable user storiesStrong capacity to internalize and represent a product vision, maintaining its integrity through detailed execution without requiring constant directionExperience working directly with engineering teams, including clarifying requirements and supporting development through deliveryComfortable operating in a fast-moving, early-stage product environment where priorities shift and the operating model continues to evolveStrong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across globally distributed teams and time zonesExperience collaborating with UI/UX designers to align detailed requirements with high-fidelity design artifactsExperience With Technologies Such AsJira for backlog management and sprint planningConfluence for documentation and requirements managementFigma (plus)Productboard (plus)The Ideal CandidateThe ideal candidate understands that product vision is only as strong as the execution that delivers it. They take ownership of the space between strategic direction and engineering delivery - not waiting to be told what every story should say, but actively working to understand the intent behind the roadmap and making thoughtful, independent decisions about how to express that intent in the details.
They are exceptionally good at their craft. Writing clear, well-structured user stories with meaningful acceptance criteria is not a chore for them - it is how they think. They anticipate the questions engineers will ask before they are asked, and they close gaps before they become problems.
They are a disciplined collaborator. They work closely with the Platform PM without needing everything spelled out, and they work closely with designers and engineering teams without losing the thread of what the product is trying to accomplish. They understand that in a fast-moving, early-stage environment, a strong Product Owner is what stands between a well-articulated vision and a product that drifts from it in the details.
