Position Overview
As our Project Manager for the Security Incident Response department, you'll be at the nexus of Autodesk's global IR mission, stitching together data-driven insights, stakeholder input, and cross-regional collaboration into a living, breathing program that keeps pace with today's threats. You'll deep-dive into the dashboards you architected to uncover subtle upticks in mean time to detection (prompting playbook tweaks), and then lead Quarterly Business Reviews by weaving SOAR pipeline metrics, Legal and Product feedback, and executive priorities into a concise slide deck that guides our roadmap.
