Senior Manager, Forecasting & Revenue Intelligence, Global Sales

Job Requisition ID # 26WD101383 Position Overview This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct reports. The sales leader you support will rely on you for insight into the number. Autodesk’s sales organization is measured every week on where the year will land. For Global Sales, you will explain that number: what moved, why, what the risk is and what to do about it. You are the Global Sales leader’s source of insight on their forecast, their pipeline and their performance. You work alongside the operations business partner who supports the same leader: they run the operating rhythm, and you bring the analysis and intelligence behind it. You are also the leader’s route into everything else the Forecasting & Revenue Intelligence team produces, from account intelligence to targets and reporting. You work inside their business day to day, using methods and standards shared across the whole sales organization, so results are comparable from one business to the next. This is one of four such roles, one for each major part of the sales organization. Location: United States (remote). Eastern or Central time zone preferred.
