Group Design Manager, Craft & Expression - QuickBooks Platform

At Intuit, we’re on a mission to power prosperity for small businesses through design that’s both intelligent and human. The Quick Books Platform team is seeking a Design Manager to lead a small, high‑craft group focused on raising the quality bar across our core product experiences—ensuring every interaction, transition, and visual detail feels purposeful, polished, and unmistakably Intuit.

• Elevate the craft and cohesion of our most visible product experiences—ensuring they feel intuitive, expressive, and distinctly Intuit.
• Define and uphold design quality standards across visual, motion, and interaction design—setting the example through your team’s hands‑on work.
• Lead a small, expert team (IxD, Visual, Motion) to create high‑impact, high‑quality product moments that model best‑in‑class design.
• Collaborate deeply with Experience Architecture to translate forward‑looking design principles into tangible, customer‑facing experiences.
• Partner with Design Tech to scale expressive systems—from motion frameworks to AI‑integrated design patterns.
• Integrate AI thoughtfully into product design—helping define how assistive and generative intelligence shows up in ways that feel natural, helpful, and human.
• Foster a culture of craft through critique, creative direction, and hands‑on coaching, ensuring quality is a shared outcome across teams.

• A hands‑on design leader who cares deeply about fit, finish, and expressive quality.
• Fluent across brand, interaction, visual, and motion design, with a keen sense for how they combine to create emotional resonance.
• Excited by the opportunity to shape how AI feels in product experiences—not just what it does.
• Skilled at balancing ambition and pragmatism—you raise the bar without slowing the pace of progress.
• A coach, not a critic—you believe the best way to elevate quality is to model it, systematize it, and empower others to achieve it.
