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.
