Principal Product Designer- AI-Native Accountant Suite

Intuit builds the platform accounting firms run their practices on, from solo practitioners to the largest firms in the world, serving millions of small business clients. At that scale, the hardest design problems aren't on any single screen. They live in the structure underneath: who the user is, what they can see and do, which clients and companies they're connected to, and how the same objects show up consistently across every surface and screen.

Across Intuit Accountant Suite, QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Live, and ProPartner, firm leaders, staff, client users, and Intuit's experts all work on shared things: transactions, invoices, tasks, templates, documents, and requests. As we become AI-native, that structure matters even more. When AI acts on a user's behalf, the rules for identity, access, and permissions become the rules for what AI can see and do.

We're looking for a Principal Product Designer with deep strength in systems design for large-scale enterprise products to build the map: the shared model of objects, relationships, and rules that connects our surfaces and teams. You'll turn that model into experiences that feel simple for a two-person firm and hold up for the largest firms we serve.

You'll be the connective tissue across teams: a design facilitator and force multiplier who brings designers, PMs, and engineers into the same model and keeps it coherent as we ship.

Responsibilities

Experience architecture and the object model

• Define and own the cross-product object model: the core objects, their attributes, and the relationships between them

• Map how those objects appear, behave, and connect across surfaces and teams, and find where they've fragmented

• Apply object-oriented UX methods or similar to turn the model into navigation, views, and interaction patterns teams can reuse

• Establish the model as a shared artifact that Product, Engineering, and Design build against, and keep it current as the platform evolves

Identity, permissions, and access at scale

• Evolve the identity, roles, permissions, and access experience for multi-user firms, from a solo practitioner to the largest firms with complex teams and hierarchies

• Make powerful access controls understandable: who can see which clients, who can act on what, and why

• Design multi-user collaboration across firm staff, client users, and Intuit experts, including delegation, handoffs, and audit visibility

• Extend the same rules to AI, so agents acting on a user's behalf respect identity and permissions, and users can see and trust what AI has access to
