Intuit is the global platform company powering prosperity for over 100 million consumers and businesses across TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp. Within Intuit's business platform, the Global Business Solutions Group is $11B in annual revenue, and its Services portfolio of Payments, Lending, Bill Pay, and Workforce Solutions represents its biggest priorities and fastest-growing businesses. Across these experiences, we are evolving from workflows our customers run themselves to done‑for‑you experiences powered by AI, where Intuit helps customers get invoices paid faster, do payroll with less work, and access capital right when it's needed.

Each of these businesses is scaling fast. Together, they are an integrated portfolio that helps small businesses run and grow on one platform. Making these services grow together, not just side by side, is one of the biggest opportunities at Intuit, and that's the mandate of this role.

As Principal on the Services Portfolio Strategy & Growth team, you will drive clarity on cross‑portfolio strategy and growth: where the portfolio should play, how the services win together, and what it takes to accelerate growth across them. Strategy and execution happen in parallel here; you'll build the 3‑year view and collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to execute.

You will operate as a senior individual contributor with Services‑wide reach, working directly with Services leadership and partners across the Intuit ecosystem, including Product, Engineering, Commercial, and Finance.

Responsibilities

• Shape the 3‑year growth strategy for the Services portfolio: priority customers, competitive landscape, and where the next horizons of growth come from.
• Develop the frameworks and choices that clarify tradeoffs for senior leadership: where to invest, where to sequence, where to say no.
• Identify and champion "better together" plays across services (attach, bundling, cross‑sell, and shared customer journeys) that no single business would build alone.
• Develop the fact base that grounds annual and long‑range planning, positioning Services at the company level.

• Own the analytical foundation for portfolio strategy: how the portfolio grows, what drives it, and where the leverage is.
• Distill insights from imperfect data into executive‑ready narratives.
• Establish repeatable systems for diagnosing performance and evaluating initiatives, so decisions are data‑backed and fast.

• Move from long‑term thinking to short‑term unblock: identify the highest‑leverage growth actions, drive alignment on them, and land outcomes.
• Lead priority cross‑portfolio initiatives from problem definition through results, mobilizing partner teams across the segment.
• Anticipate where alignment will break down across businesses and proactively drive resolution.

• Act as connective tissue across the services businesses, surfacing what each is learning, where they overlap, and where the portfolio is leaving growth on the table.
• Deliver a clear narrative of portfolio strategy and growth opportunities to Services and Intuit senior leadership.
• Influence with and without authority: build trust with GMs and functional leaders so the portfolio view shapes their choices.

Qualifications

Experience

• 10+ years in strategy consulting or strategy & business operations in high‑growth environments. Top‑tier strategy consulting experience strongly preferred. Fintech, payments, and financial services expertise helpful but not required; you'll come up the curve on the Services businesses quickly, supported by internal experts.

Strategic & Analytical Strength

• Exceptional structured problem‑solving: you can take an ambiguous, multi‑business question and turn it into a clear set of choices.
• Deep analytical fluency: comfortable building the model, pressure‑testing the data, and standing behind the number in front of executives.
• Ability to distill complexity into insight and insight into a compelling story.

Execution & Ownership

• Track record of moving a business from strategy to action to results, not just producing the deck.
• Extreme ownership mindset; comfortable operating with urgency, ambiguity, and evolving priorities.

Collaboration & Influence

• Proven ability to influence senior leaders and drive alignment across organizations you don't control.
• Low ego, high trust: you make the businesses you partner with better, and they want you in the room.

Communication

• Executive‑level written and verbal communication; able to simplify complexity and influence at scale.

AI Fluency

• Native user of AI tools to accelerate analysis, synthesis, and communication.
