Position Overview

Autodesk Water is a leading innovator in software for the water industry, and we're looking for a driven, consultative SaaS seller to help us grow. As a Sales Specialist, Emerging Business Solutions on our Water Products Adoption team, you'll own the pre-sales motion that drives customer adoption of our Info360 Asset SaaS solution across North America.

If you're energized by being a subject-matter expert for a category-defining product, this is an exciting opportunity to shape the presence of water software solutions and advance Autodesk's goal of a more sustainable water future.
