Program Manager In Nonprofit Sector Jobs in California

Nonprofits - grant-funded 501(c)(3) organizations, associations, and member organizations - carry financial complexity that generic accounting software was never built to handle. Restricted funds, multi-year grant compliance, and board-level financial reporting demand purpose-built infrastructure. And yet most mid-market nonprofits doing $2.5M-$100M in revenue are running their finances on tools built for businesses nothing like theirs.

Intuit's strategy is to become the financial operating system for this segment - automating fund accounting, eliminating grant compliance burden, and giving nonprofit finance teams the real-time intelligence they have never had.

The financial burden is two-sided: fund-based accounting complexity - restricted versus unrestricted net assets, multi-dimensional classification, restriction release entries - and grant compliance complexity - multi-funder awards, federal reporting, single audit thresholds. Most have no system that handles both. That is the gap Intuit is building to fill.

As the Principal Product Manager for AI-Native Non-Profit, you will own Intuit's end-to-end nonprofit financial platform strategy for the mid-market - the build, buy, and partner decisions, the roadmap from fund accounting foundations through full grant compliance depth, and the product bets that make Intuit the financial backbone of the non-profit sector.

Responsibilities

Define the end-to-end strategy for Intuit's mid-market nonprofit segment - build, buy, and partner decisions, roadmap sequencing, and the bets that determine where we play and how we win.

Build the fund accounting engine - restricted versus unrestricted net asset tracking, automatic restriction release entries, and multi-dimensional classification across Fund, Program, and Grant - eliminating the manual journal entry workflows that drive audit anxiety.

Deliver the native grant object - multi-funder, multi-year award tracking, budget versus actuals at the sub-award level, and automated federal compliance including indirect cost rate calculation, SF-425 templates, and SEFA generation.

Ship the compliance layer - Statement of Activities, Statement of Functional Expenses, Form 990, LD-2 lobbying disclosure, and UBIT tracking - where agents pre-populate required filings from GL data without manual rebuild.

Drive pledge tracking, deferred revenue recognition, donor segmentation, and lapsed-donor alerts - and define the integration strategy with leading donor CRM platforms that makes Intuit the center of the nonprofit financial ecosystem.

Lead the migration infrastructure that moves accounting firms and their clients onto the platform without data loss - the structural advantage incumbents cannot replicate and the channel unlock that drives partners to migrate their entire client book.

Qualifications

10+ years in Product Management with deep expertise in nonprofit financial management, fund accounting, or philanthropy technology - at a nonprofit SaaS platform or a financial and ERP platform serving the sector.

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Nonprofit Management, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience; advanced degree (MPA, MBA, or MSA) a plus.

Firsthand knowledge of nonprofit financial operations - fund accounting, grant compliance, federal reporting, and audit requirements. You understand the three dimensions that define every nonprofit's product requirements: tax status, mission type, and funding model. Earned in the sector, not learned in a spec.

Deep command across 501(c)(3), (c)(4), and (c)(6) organizations - and the product implications of each tax status, mission type, and funding model combination.

Expert knowledge of FASB ASC 958, Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200), Form 990, LD-2, and UBIT - able to speak credibly to a nonprofit CFO, an auditor, and an AI engineer in the same conversation.

Proven ability to ship LLM or agent-powered products in production, writing agentic specs with objectives, tool definitions, confidence thresholds, and escalation logic - and knowing the difference between automating a workflow and building a system that earns trust in a compliance-sensitive environment.

Experience building for accounting firm intermediaries and defining integration strategies with donor CRM and spend management platforms.

Ability to architect data migrations and bi-directional integrations as a strategic foundation, and evaluate build, buy, and partner tradeoffs with rigor.

Proven ability to influence across engineering, design, sales, and finance, build channel partnerships with accounting firms, and anticipate market shifts before they surface in win/loss data.
