Principal Product Manager

Job Overview

Intuit has a unique opportunity to lead the fintech industry in solving the most painful problem small business owners face -- managing their money. 82% of small businesses that fail experience a cash flow challenge. Small businesses already turn to QuickBooks to manage much of their money -- they use QuickBooks to send over $1 Trillion of invoices each year, to record over $1 Trillion of bills, and to run over $115 Billion in payroll annually. In addition, given small businesses record and categorize all of their transactions within QuickBooks, we are able to provide industry leading access to financial services and unparalleled cash flow insights and predictions.

As we accelerate our mission to put small businesses in complete control of their money, we are looking for a world class senior product manager to join our team to lead payments platform product management globally. The Payments Platform team is an integral and crucial part of realizing that vision. Money is a sensitive topic for every interaction on our multiple products. Our mission is to ensure the experience of paying and being paid is as seamless, personal and ubiquitous as possible.

As a Product Manager (PM) on Intuit’s Payments Platform team, you'll be responsible for helping shape this experience, thus impacting the business growth and engagement.

Intuit’s Payments Platform is comprised of several services that orchestrate the movement of money between all users on our products across business lines (Quickbooks Online, Quickbooks Advanced, Quickbooks Desktop, Invoicing, Quickbook POS etc.), processing transactions at the scale of tens of millions per day. Being the core engine behind offering any service on the platform, it's essential to

ensure the platform is reliable enough to handle the scale of our operations while versatile and flexible enough to handle the varying use cases we offer through our different Lines of Businesses.
