Director, Marketing AI Orchestration

26WD100176

Position Overview

Marketing's effectiveness is increasingly determined by the systems behind it - the layer that orchestrates AI agents, the data they reason over, and the workflows of every marketing team. Autodesk is investing to build that capability for Worldwide Marketing, and this role leads it.

The Director, Marketing AI Orchestration is responsible for designing and building the AI orchestration layer that makes Worldwide Marketing (WWM) measurably more effective - and, over time, the data and AI substrate that sits beneath it. This is the connective tissue between AI capabilities, marketing data, our martech stack, and the work of every WWM function - and the foundation those capabilities run on.

This is a builder role. We're hiring a platform builder who understands marketing, not a marketer who is curious about AI. Success is shipped capability that drives measurable lift in marketing effectiveness - speed, quality, scale, and revenue. The job to be done is to architect and ship the AI orchestration layer, drive adoption across WWM functions, and establish the measurement framework.

Responsibilities

• The WWM AI orchestration layer.

Architect and build the platform that orchestrates AI agents, models, knowledge, and workflows across marketing. Define what runs autonomously, what is human-in-the-loop, and what stays human-led •

• 10+ years across platform engineering, AI/data product, or marketing technology - with at least one tour building and shipping a platform that other teams now depend on day-to-day
• Deep, hands-on fluency with modern AI: agents, RAG, evals, orchestration frameworks, model selection, and MLOps. Has built, not just bought
• Track record landing technical capability inside a non-technical organization. Adoption is something you engineer for, not hope for
• Strong product sense and architectural judgment. Ships
• Excellent executive communication. Can walk an ELT audience through the architecture and the business case in the same meeting
• Bias toward shipped capability and measured impact over decks, frameworks, and pilots
• Track record building agentic systems or AI-native platforms in a marketing, sales, or customer-facing context

What success looks like in 12 months

• The first production version of the orchestration layer is shipped and in daily use across multiple WWM functions
• A measurable lift on marketing effectiveness, defined upfront with the CMO staff and reported quarterly to the WWM Extended Leadership Team
• Three or more high-impact, cross-functional workflows running through the layer with proven business impact
