Intuit, Los Angeles, CA, United States
About Intuit Our mission is to power prosperity around the world. Intuit is the global technology platform that helps consumers and small businesses prosper. We're a mission-driven, global financial technology company that creates products and tools to help you manage your money, get out of debt, and make smart financial decisions. We're known for products like QuickBooks, Mailchimp TurboTax, and Credit Karma. At our core, we are deeply customer-obsessed, relentlessly focused on solving our customers' most important problems and tenaciously delivering profound benefits that help them prosper.
The Opportunity This senior role sits at the intersection of product design, motion design, and strategic storytelling. You’ll visualize, prototype, and communicate Intuit’s product future through product storyboards and demos — especially across AI-powered systems, platforms, and intelligent workflows.
Motion design is not just a production layer applied at the end of product development. It is a core thinking tool—used to explore ideas, pressure-test assumptions, and make future-state product intelligence tangible. In this role, motion design and interaction are leveraged to clarify complex systems, establish credibility, and create emotional resonance, often for concepts that are early, abstract, or not yet built.
You will partner closely with Intuit designers, PMs, and engineers to ideate and prototype what Intuit’s products, workflows, and experiences could be in the future. This includes shaping speculative UI behaviors, defining interaction models, and directing narrative arcs that help teams understand not just what a product is, but why it exists and how it should feel in use.
This role requires polished craft execution, production expertise, and strong storytelling judgment. You will be expected to contribute at a high level — calling out what is required to tell a clear, compelling product story; identifying gaps in logic or experience; and setting a quality bar that scales across teams and surfaces. Your work will help establish the canonical way Intuit communicates product vision, influencing customers, partners, executives, and internal stakeholders alike.
Responsibilities Deliver for Defining Moments: Design demos and product stories for flagship events, executive keynotes, internal transformation moments, pitching to external partners and galvanizing external audiences.
Navigate fast-moving timelines while maintaining craft, clarity, and narrative integrity.
Use Motion Design as a Strategic Design Language: Treat motion design as a primary tool for thinking, prototyping, and storytelling—not just polish.
Design motion-led product narratives that bring to life our latest innovations with thoughtful pacing, interaction, and transitions to communicate cause-and-effect, value, and trust.
Shape and Visualize the Product Future State: Work as a creative thought partner to Product Management and Product Design to visualize roadmaps, platform strategies, and future-state concepts.
Design and prototype experiences for products and AI systems that are early, ambiguous, or not yet built—helping teams and audiences see what’s possible.
Define the Canon for Demo Storytelling: Lead the evolution of Intuit’s demo storytelling language—how motion, interaction, narrative, and visual systems work together.
Balance aspiration with credibility, ensuring stories are bold but grounded in real product logic.
Collaborate as a Peer: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with other Intuit designers, PMs, and engineers to bring the vision to life.
Collaborate with and lead vendors in support of your work.
Influence without authority, aligning diverse partners around a shared narrative and experience vision.
Qualifications What you bring
8–12+ years of experience in motion-led product design, interaction design, demo storytelling, or related fields.
A portfolio that shows motion design used to bring to life groundbreaking and complex product innovation.
Experience visualizing future-state or speculative product concepts.
Comfort operating in ambiguity and shaping clarity from incomplete inputs.
Mastery of After Effects and Figma, and other related interaction design tools (e.g., Principle, ProtoPie, or similar).
Strong visual design fundamentals and systems thinking.
Strong production acumen, with the ability to assess timelines, identify risks, and recommend the most effective approach for the moment.
Exceptional narrative instincts—sense of pacing, emphasis, and emotional resonance.
Ability to express abstract ideas like intelligence, automation, decision-making, or trust through motion.
Proven ability to partner deeply with cross functional peers in Product Management, Product Design, Engineering, and Creative teams.
Clear, confident communicator who can articulate design intent and tradeoffs.
Desire to help others do better work by raising the bar, not owning everything.
As part of the CEO Transformation Office, you’ll help define how Intuit’s future is seen, understood, and trusted—often before it exists. Product storytelling shapes belief in the future. Belief shapes momentum.
You’ll work where design craft, product strategy, and narrative converge, helping the company and the market intuit what’s next.
If you believe motion design is a way of thinking—and you want to use it to shape the future of intelligent products—this role is for you.
