About The Position

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. About the Team: To predict the future, we must create it—and at Intuit, that's exactly what we're doing. The CEO Transformation Office is a newly formed, high-impact organization reporting directly to the CEO. Its mission is to mobilize the company around what matters most, shape the market, and accelerate Intuit's transformation into the world's leading global financial platform and system of intelligence. This team sits at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, creativity, and execution. We bring together communications, creative, narrative development, and flagship events and experiences under one unified organization to ensure Intuit shows up with clarity, consistency, and conviction—internally and externally. From customers and prospects to media and investors, we shape how Intuit's vision comes to life in the world. At the heart of our work is a bold future: surrounding customers with a virtual team of AI agents and human intelligence that does the work for them and powers their prosperity. To deliver on that promise, we operate with a high say/do ratio, a bias for action, and an uncompromising focus on impact. We don't just tell the story—we help drive the outcomes. Joining the CEO Transformation Office means working on the company's most visible, mission-critical initiatives, partnering with senior leaders across the business, and helping define how Intuit's strategy is experienced by the world. This is a team for builders, storytellers, and operators who want to shape the future—not react to it. 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 The opportunity: Intuit's mission is to power prosperity around the world for consumers, small businesses and the self-employed. The Brand Storytelling and Experiences group brings that mission to life through high-impact and transformative campaigns and experiences around the globe all designed to shape, showcase, and demonstrate the power and meaning behind the Intuit ecosystem. We inspire customers with a variety of Live/Virtual Events and galvanize our 19,000+ employees around what matters most to our customers with best-in-class storytelling. This cross-functional, high-performing team serves as a center of excellence for the company and includes experts across video, experience design, strategic content, event production, experiential marketing and more. As a Senior Motion Designer you will drive ideation and execution of 2D and 3D motion design and animation across multiple campaigns and touchpoints. You will elevate the craft of motion design by bringing a wealth of experience and external inspiration to continuously raise the bar. This is a hands on, highly collaborative role accountable for creative concepting, previsualization and animation working directly with design, copy, video and strategy partners and reporting to the Senior Creative Producer, Video. This role will be based in the L.A. Culver City office 3x per week for best collaboration and career growth. Remote, working on PST or EST may be considered for the right candidate.
