• Engage early with public sector owners, policy makers, and private consortia to influence project direction and technology standards
• Drive Autodesk’s participation in major national and regional infrastructure programs, ensuring our solutions enable successful digital delivery

• Support the establishment of digital delivery mandates, enabling customers to set standards for efficiency and sustainability

• Ability to travel across the UK and EMEA (approximately 30–40%)

Preferred Qualifications
