Principal Content Model Lead

Job Requisition ID #

26WD97790

Position Overview

Autodesk’s Technical Advisory organization is building a scalable knowledge platform that transforms implementation expertise from enterprise engagements into structured, reusable, and customer-facing guidance.
The Principal Content Model Lead is responsible for defining how knowledge is structured, standardized, and transformed into usable content. This includes owning content templates, structural standards, and the transformation layer that converts raw consulting knowledge into consistent, high-quality, and platform-ready outputs.
Reporting to the Senior Manager, Content & Knowledge within Global Delivery & Solutions, you will operate at the intersection of content production, knowledge systems, and platform experience. You will ensure that all content produced across solutions follows a consistent structure, is easy to consume, and is optimized for reuse and scalability.
In the first year, you will define and implement core content templates and structural standards, support Solution Development Managers in applying them, and ensure consistency and quality as the first set of customer-facing knowledge assets are built and published.

Responsibilities

Content Structure, Templates and Standardization
Define and own content templates and structural standards across artifact types (e.g. User Guides, Playbooks, Decision Pathways)
Establish clear patterns for how solutions are structured and presented
Ensure templates are practical, usable, and aligned with real-world consulting scenarios
Continuously refine templates and structures based on production experience and feedback
Identify and resolve inconsistencies, duplication, and fragmentation across content

Content Transformation and Quality Enablement
Define how raw consulting artifacts and captured knowledge are transformed into structured, customer-facing content
Partner with Solution Development Managers to ensure all content adheres to defined templates and standards
Review and guide content during production to ensure structural consistency and clarity
Establish reusable patterns and guidance that enable contributors (SMEs, consultants, vendors) to produce consistent outputs
Support development of quality gates related to structure, completeness, and usability

Platform Alignment and Knowledge System Design
Collaborate with the Knowledge Acquisition Analyst to ensure alignment between captured data structures and content templates
Partner with Enterprise Architecture and Engineering to ensure content structures align with platform data models and user experience requirements
Ensure content structures support reuse, modularity, and scalability across solutions and industries
Contribute to improving how content is surfaced, navigated, and consumed within the knowledge platform
Identify opportunities to improve system efficiency and reduce rework through better structural design

Minimum Qualifications
8+ years of experience in content strategy, knowledge management, information architecture, or structured content systems
Experience defining content templates, standards, or structured content frameworks at scale
Strong understanding of how to translate complex domain knowledge into clear, usable formats
Experience working with content platforms or structured data environments
Ability to balance standardization with real-world usability
Experience working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and domain experts
Bachelor’s degree in communications, information science, business, or a related field, or equivalent experience

The Ideal Candidate
Has designed and implemented structured content systems used across multiple teams or products
Understands how to turn messy, real-world inputs into consistent, reusable outputs
Can think systemically about how content, data, and user experience connect
Is detail-oriented with a strong focus on consistency and clarity
Is comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Brings a pragmatic mindset — able to define standards without over-engineering
