I am currently working as an Industry Strategy Manager in the Design & Manufacturing division of Autodesk. I am responsible for two main products which bring in more than $450M revenue annually for Autodesk.
As an Industry Strategy Manager, I work with various internal and external stakeholders to study markets, study business health and create business models, financial models for new product launches, or for acquisitions or partnerships, after learning what product roadmaps are planned by the product team while at the same time also knowing how customer behaviors are changing. The core teams I work with are - Marketing, Product Development, Pricing, Offering Managements, New Product Introduction (NPI) etc.
Recently, I presented a business model to the senior management of my organization which would increase billings by $22M by plugging a gap in the design workflows for certain industries through a partnership with an external firm.
