You are embedded with senior Enterprise Sales and CS leadership, serving as their primary point of accountability for the business’s operations. You are responsible for diagnosing and resolving the Enterprise team's highest-impact operational and business challenges, especially those that cut across systems, functions, and organizational boundaries, and you are the direct interface back into Autodesk's Revenue Operations team and other supporting organizations.
