Position Overview
Within AEC Construction, our mission is to help teams meet the world’s rapidly expanding building and infrastructure needs while making construction more predictable, safe, and sustainable. Forma brings together connected data, platform capabilities, and workflows that support the full building lifecycle—from planning and design through preconstruction, build, and operations.
We are seeking a Senior Manager of Experience Design for the Admin COE within Forma. The Admin COE plays a critical role in enabling customers to configure, govern, and scale their use of Forma across projects, teams, and partner organizations. This includes experiences related to administration, account and project setup, user management, permissions, standards, onboarding, templates, Bridge, and other foundational workflows that help construction teams work efficiently and securely at scale.
Reporting to the Director of Experience Design, you will lead and develop the Experience Design team working across Admin COE experiences, while partnering closely with the Design Director, Product Management, Engineering, Research, Content Design, and other design leaders to shape and execute the strategic direction for Admin experiences across Forma. You will be accountable for the quality, coherence, and impact of the design team’s work, while creating the conditions for designers to do their best work and grow in their careers.
This role requires a strategic design leader who can help translate a long-term experience vision into clear priorities, strong team practices, and practical, high-quality decisions. You will navigate complex enterprise and platform workflows where usability, scalability, governance, and customer trust all matter. You will also help create clarity, build alignment, coach people, improve systems, and guide teams toward meaningful customer and business outcomes.
We are open to candidates based in the United States or Canada with a preference for those near our offices (USA: Bay Area, Portland, Atlanta, Boston, Novi | Canada: Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver).
Please include a resume, portfolio, and any required portfolio password when applying.
Light travel (2-4 times per year) in North America for team meetings and conferences.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the frontline manager for all designers in the Admin COE, including coaching, performance management, career development, hiring, and team health
- Partner with the Design Director, Product Management, Engineering, Research, and other cross-functional leaders to shape, communicate, and execute the design vision and strategy for the Admin COE
- Translate customer needs, business priorities, technical constraints, and product strategy into actionable design priorities and high-quality product experiences
- Drive alignment across multiple teams and stakeholders, ensuring Admin experiences are coherent, scalable, and connected across Forma
- Guide the team in balancing near-term delivery with longer-term strategic design work, ensuring that discovery, prototyping, research, and customer feedback are used effectively throughout the development process
- Champion customer-centered design practices, using qualitative and quantitative data to inform decisions and improve outcomes
- Maintain accountability for the quality, consistency, accessibility, and delivery of the design team’s work
- Partner with other design leaders to strengthen design systems adoption, experience quality, and cross-product consistency
- Foster a healthy, inclusive, and accountable team culture rooted in trust, clarity, growth, collaboration, and belonging
- Represent the Admin COE design perspective in planning, roadmap, prioritization, and leadership discussions, in partnership with the Design Director
- Identify opportunities to improve team processes, operating models, and collaboration patterns across Design, Product, and Engineering
- Communicate, facilitate, and tell compelling stories that make complex customer problems, design decisions, and product trade-offs understandable and actionable for designers, engineers, product leaders, executives, customers, and end users
- Apply systems thinking to identify patterns, reduce fragmentation, and guide teams toward scalable design solutions across product surfaces, customer roles, permissions, onboarding, project setup, and broader platform workflows
Minimum Qualifications
- 8+ years of professional experience in product design, UX design, interaction design, or related fields
- 3+ years of people management experience, including direct management of product designers
- A strong portfolio or body of work demonstrating design leadership, product strategy, systems thinking, and measurable impact
- Experience leading design for complex SaaS, enterprise, platform, administration, or workflow products
- Demonstrated ability to coach and grow designers at different levels of seniority
- Strong communication, storytelling, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills
- Experience partnering closely with Product Management and Engineering to shape product direction, navigate ambiguity, make thoughtful trade-offs, and deliver customer value
- Strong understanding of human-centered design methods, including discovery, task analysis, journey mapping, prototyping, usability testing, and iterative delivery
- Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving, and highly collaborative environments
- A strong commitment to high-quality, accessible, customer-centered experiences that balance customer needs, business priorities, and implementation realities
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with:
- Serving as a group manager, managing managers, or leading design across multiple product areas, teams, or workstreams

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Autodesk E-3 Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Align your degree to Autodesk's tech stack
Autodesk hires heavily for roles tied to CAD, BIM, and cloud software. Your E-3 application requires a degree in a directly related field, so frame your credentials against the specific engineering or computer science discipline the job posting names.
Target product and engineering teams specifically
Autodesk's E-3 sponsorship concentrates in software engineering, product management, and technical program roles. Applications for sales-adjacent or generalist roles are less likely to meet the specialty occupation threshold USCIS requires.
Verify your role qualifies before accepting an offer
Use O*NET to confirm your job title carries a Job Zone 4 or 5 classification before signing anything. If Autodesk's offer letter uses a vague title, ask HR to map it to a standard SOC code that clearly requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating salary
Run your role and location through the OFLC Wage Search before salary discussions. Autodesk must certify your offered wage meets or exceeds the DOL prevailing wage in its Labor Condition Application, so knowing the threshold protects you from an underpowered offer.
Confirm Autodesk's LCA timeline with HR early
Ask Autodesk's immigration team how far in advance they file the Labor Condition Application. The LCA must be DOL-certified before you can attend your consular interview, and delays in that step directly push back your start date.
Use Migrate Mate to prepare your consular filing
Once Autodesk certifies your LCA, use Migrate Mate to handle the E-3 application paperwork. A dedicated filing expert reviews your DS-160, support documents, and interview preparation so nothing stalls at the Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth consulate.
Autodesk E-3 Visa Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Autodesk sponsor E-3 visas?
Yes, Autodesk sponsors E-3 visas for qualifying Australian nationals. Sponsorship is concentrated in technical roles such as software engineering, product design, and related specialties that meet the E-3 specialty occupation standard. Autodesk has an in-house immigration team that manages the Labor Condition Application and employer-side filing requirements.
Which roles at Autodesk typically receive E-3 sponsorship?
E-3 sponsorship at Autodesk is most common in software engineering, product management, technical program management, and design technology roles. Positions tied to Autodesk's core platforms, including AutoCAD, Revit, and Fusion, tend to map cleanly to specialty occupation requirements because they require a degree in a directly related engineering or computer science discipline.
How do I start the E-3 sponsorship process at Autodesk?
After receiving a job offer, Autodesk's immigration or HR team files a Labor Condition Application with the DOL. Once the LCA is certified, you complete the DS-160, pay the MRV fee, and schedule a consular interview at a U.S. embassy in Australia. You can use Migrate Mate to manage the applicant-side paperwork and interview preparation steps.
How long does E-3 sponsorship take at Autodesk?
Total timeline depends on LCA processing and consular appointment availability. DOL typically certifies the LCA within seven business days. Consular appointment wait times at Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth vary by season. Building in four to eight weeks from offer acceptance to interview is a reasonable baseline, though high-demand periods can extend that window.
How do I strengthen my E-3 application for an Autodesk role?
Document the direct connection between your degree and the specific Autodesk role before your interview. Bring your LCA, offer letter, degree transcripts, and any credential evaluations. If your Australian degree is three years, a credential evaluation confirming U.S. equivalency strengthens your file. Confirm with Autodesk HR that the job title on your offer letter matches the SOC code on the certified LCA.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 sponsorship at Autodesk?
E-3 employers must pay at least the prevailing wage, determined when they file a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor. The rate is based on the role, location, and experience level, ensuring Australian hires are paid comparably to U.S. workers in the same position. You can look up prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the DOL's OFLC Wage Search tool.
