Small Business Payroll Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Overview

Intuit's Lending businesses sit at the center of our Services Segment strategy and are critical to our vision of becoming the go-to financial destination for small businesses. QB Capital - encompassing our direct Term Loan, Line of Credit, and third-party Marketplace offerings - targets a $20B opportunity and is on a path to fuel $10B+ in annual capital to SMBs.

We are seeking a senior business development leader to own and grow two strategically distinct but connected businesses: our established small business lending marketplace, and our emerging embedded lending business - a 0-1 opportunity to shape how Intuit's lending products reach new customers and partners beyond the core QuickBooks platform.

This is not a supporting role. You will own the full partnership lifecycle - from strategy and sourcing to structuring and scaling - and will serve as a senior voice influencing how the Lending business grows over the next three years. You will report to the Director of Business Development and work in close partnership with the VP/ Segment lead of the capital business, Product, Risk, Finance, Marketing, Commercialization, and the broader QB Product Partnerships team.

The Opportunity

You will build across two high-priority growth vectors:

QB Capital's Marketplace connects QBO customers with a curated panel of third-party lenders (e.g., OnDeck, Fundbox, Funding Circle). The Marketplace serves a critical funnel role: capturing demand we cannot serve today and building a broader capital ecosystem around the QuickBooks platform.

       Grow and manage the partner portfolio of third-party small business lenders

       Drive Marketplace conversion rate improvement through better partner coverage, product fit, and funnel experience

       Evaluate and onboard new lender partners to expand coverage across credit tiers, loan types, and customer segments (including mid-market)

       Negotiate and structure commercial terms that optimize for both customer experience and Intuit revenue

Intuit's embedded lending business represents a greenfield opportunity to extend QB Capital's reach by distributing our lending products, and/or enabling partner lending capabilities, through third-party platforms and distribution channels outside of QuickBooks. Inspired by the Amazon/Embedded Lending playbook, this business creates a new front door to the QuickBooks financial services ecosystem.

       Define and execute the go-to-market strategy for embedded lending, from market sizing through pilot and scale

       Identify, develop, and close anchor distribution partnerships - including fintech platforms, vertical SaaS players, financial institutions, and payroll providers - that can distribute Intuit lending products to their SMB customer bases

       Build the partnership model: define commercial structures, integration requirements, and success metrics for embedded deployment

       Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Risk, and Legal to shape the capabilities required to support partner distribution

       Serve as the internal champion and thought leader for the embedded lending opportunity, building conviction with senior leadership

Responsibilities

       Lead full-cycle business development across marketplace and embedded lending - from opportunity identification and partner sourcing through negotiation, launch, and ongoing relationship management

       Build and manage a pipeline of high-priority partnership opportunities with rigor and velocity

       Develop and maintain executive-level relationships with key partner counterparts

       Define the multi-year partnership strategy for both the Marketplace and embedded lending businesses, including prioritization frameworks, partner segmentation, and go-to-market models

       Develop clear points of view on build vs. buy vs. partner decisions, and bring well-structured recommendations to Lending and GBSG leadership

       Proactively identify whitespace opportunities at the intersection of Intuit's data assets, financial products, and partner distribution capabilities

       Partner closely with Product to translate partnership requirements into roadmap inputs; ensure partner commitments are backed by viable product capabilities

       Collaborate with Risk and Finance to structure deals that are commercially sound and credit-policy aligned

       Work with Marketing to develop co-marketing and co-distribution playbooks that accelerate partner-driven customer acquisition

       Coordinate with Legal and Compliance on deal structuring, data-sharing frameworks, and regulatory considerations

       Represent the Lending BD function in cross-GBSG forums, including the QB Product Partnerships annual planning process

       Build and manage a small team as the function scales; set high standards for analytical rigor, stakeholder communication, and deal quality

       Deliver executive-ready outputs: one-pagers, strategy briefs, and board-quality narratives that clearly articulate opportunity, tradeoffs, and path to value

Qualifications

       10+ years in business development, strategic partnerships, or corporate development in high-growth technology or fintech environments

       Demonstrated track record of sourcing, structuring, and closing complex, multi-party partnership agreements - not just managing existing relationships

       Experience building 0-1 partnership programs or distribution businesses from the ground up; comfort with ambiguity and the discipline to create structure where none exists

       Background in financial services, fintech, or lending strongly preferred; experience with embedded finance, API-driven distribution, or marketplace business models is a plus

       Prior experience working within or alongside platform companies (payments, payroll, banking, SaaS) where partnerships are a core growth lever is highly valued

       Proven ability to drive a full BD operating system: pipeline discipline, deal velocity, stakeholder management, and rigorous commercial analysis

       Strong executive presence; can represent Intuit credibly at C-suite and VP levels with external partners

       Experience managing or mentoring junior team members; able to build team culture and operating norms as the function grows

       Comfortable operating with urgency, competing priorities, and frequent context-switching between strategic and tactical work

       Strong structured problem-solving skills; able to frame ambiguous opportunities as clear choices with defined tradeoffs

       Financially literate; comfortable building or critiquing deal economics, revenue models, and unit economics for partnership structures

       Able to synthesize market signals, internal data, and partner intelligence into actionable strategic recommendations

       Executive-level written and verbal communication skills; able to build conviction with senior leaders through clear, well-structured narratives

       Skilled at simplifying complex deal structures, market dynamics, or strategic options for diverse audiences

       Collaborative by default; builds trust across functions and does not treat BD as a siloed function
