Principal, Sr. Strategy and Operations Manager

Job Overview

Intuit is a mission-driven, global financial platform company that gives everyone the opportunity to prosper. We do this by using technology to solve our customers’ most important problems. We serve customers by finding more ways to put more money in their pockets, eliminating work and drudgery so they can focus on their lives and what matters to them, and ensuring that every financial decision that they make, they make it with confidence.

Our flagship products – QuickBooks, TurboTax, and Credit Karma – define the commitment to revolutionize the way people manage their personal finances, run small businesses and pay employees. Intuit has become a staple of American small business and personal finance, with a widespread and deep-rooted presence that's second to none.

People who work for themselves fuel our economy. In the U.S., small businesses employ 60% of the workforce and create 80% of new jobs. Oftentimes the odds are stacked against them with 50% failing in the first 5 years. QuickBooks, a leader in accounting and bookkeeping solutions, is adapting to evolving customer demands and market trends.

As a Strategy and Operations Manager, you will spearhead this transformation and identify growth opportunities for our services. Be part of a high-growth company with opportunities for career development and work in a collaborative and dynamic environment where your contributions will have a direct impact.
