About the role

MaintainX is a leading mobile-first work execution platform for industrial and frontline teams. More than 13,000 customers , including Duracell, McDonald's, Shell, DHL and Volvo, use MaintainX to cut unplanned downtime and run better operations, across 13.9 million managed assets and 79.5 million completed work orders.

In August 2026 MaintainX became part of Autodesk, joining Autodesk Operations Solutions , the organization unifying Autodesk's operations platform alongside Tandem, FlexSim and Fusion Operations. Autodesk's strategy is to converge design, make and operate into one continuous lifecycle: design an asset, build it, run it, then feed what you learn running it back into the next design. Autodesk had design and make. Operate is the phase that tells you what actually happened, and it is ours.

The Role:

We are seeking a visionary and execution-driven AI leader to define and scale our AI strategy and organization . This leader will drive innovation across Agentic AI and Machine Learning solutions to ensure MaintainX becomes the category-defining intelligence layer for industrial operations.

Work Intelligence: Conversational and Agentic AI solutions to empower frontline teams to digitize their operations, schedule and execute work, manage inventory and deliver insights.

Asset Intelligence: Transforming raw machine and sensor data into actionable insights, predictive models, prescriptive recommendations and automated workflows to reduce downtime and labor costs. The vertical scope encompasses integration with OT/IT platforms/protocols, Machine Learning platform, full-stack product development and various sensor modalities such as tabular, vibration, and image data.

GTM Intelligence: Accelerate MaintainX's and potentially Autodesk’s business by building AI-powered agents, tools, and internal products that help our revenue, service, and operations teams move faster, close smarter and scale. The flagship platform is MaintainX's data intelligence layer (Atlas) — a unified, agentic system that connects our internal knowledge with external signals. Atlas empowers agentic or conversational solutions through the tools teams already use such as Salesforce and Claude.

You’ll shape how MaintainX and potentially Autodesk Operations Solutions leverages predictive, generative and agentic AI to unlock new enterprise value. You’ll partner cross-functionally with not only Engineering, Product and Design, but also Marketing, Sales and Customer Support; while building and leading a world-class AI/ML team. What You’ll Do: AI Strategy & Vision

Define the long-term product and platform vision with progressive milestones and KPIs.

People Leadership & Organization Building

Build and scale a high-performing AI organization spanning platform, machine learning and product teams .

Hire and develop technical leaders; create a culture of innovation and accountability.

Establish a feedback-driven and high performance culture, empowering teams to take calculated risks and learn from successes and failures.

Cross-Functional Leadership
