Global Culture and Belonging Specialist

Position Overview

Do you want to play a critical role in advancing global culture and belonging at Autodesk? We are seeking an experienced, mid-career specialist to support the delivery of our global Culture, Belonging (GCB) strategy and objectives.

At Autodesk, we believe diversity of background, perspective, and capability is foundational to innovation that serves a global customer base. Creating the conditions for all employees to meaningfully participate, contribute, and grow is core to how we operate as One Autodesk.
