Overview
Intuit — the global financial technology platform behind TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp — is hiring a U.S. federal government relations advocate to advance the company's priorities on Capitol Hill and across the Executive Branch. This is a senior advocacy role on the Global Corporate Affairs and Public Policy (GCAPP) team, owning direct engagement with Members of Congress, staff, regulators, and other policymakers on a broad federal policy portfolio spanning tax administration, financial services, and fintech.
The role reports to the Director of Federal Government Relations and operates with a high degree of independence. In coordination with the U.S. federal advocacy team, you will execute on issues end-to-end — from intelligence and analysis through strategy, direct advocacy, and outcome — and be accountable for results on each. This is a role for an operator who takes an issue, runs it, and delivers as part of a high-performing GCAPP team, dedicated research and intelligence support, and direct partnership with Intuit's business, legal, and compliance leaders.
Intuit is committed to building a team that reflects a diverse range of backgrounds and perspectives, and to recruiting and developing the most talented people from a wide candidate pool.
Responsibilities
- Own a broad portfolio of federal policy issues end-to-end: set the advocacy approach for each, drive it directly on the Hill and across the executive branch, and own the deliverable outcome.
- Serve as a registered lobbyist, personally engaging Members of Congress, senior staff, committee personnel, and Administration policymakers to move Intuit's priorities.
- Build and run the external coalitions — trade associations, allied companies, third-party validators — needed to win on each issue, without waiting to be told which levers to pull.
- Translate fast-moving legislative and regulatory developments into clear business outcomes and a point of view, and bring business and legal partners along with you.
- Anticipate risks and opportunities across your portfolio and act on them; advise internal stakeholders proactively rather than reactively.
- Work with and manage external stakeholders like consultants, trade associations, and other groups to deliver high-impact outcomes.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of relevant experience across some combination of Capitol Hill, executive branch, and corporate or trade-association government relations — with a track record of personally owning issues and delivering wins.
- Strong existing relationships with Republican or Democratic leadership or committee staff are highly valued.
- Current, demonstrable relationships with Members of Congress and senior congressional staff, with the ability to secure access on Intuit's priority issues.
- Direct professional experience in a congressional office and/or a presidential Administration strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous, multi-front policy challenges and run them independently to resolution.
- Deep knowledge of policy affecting AI, tax, financial services, and fintech.
- Proven track record in coalition building and reputation management within the policymaking and regulatory community.
- Self-starter who thrives with autonomy, sets their own priorities against business objectives, and operates with minimal oversight.
- Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (JD, MBA, or master's in a relevant field) strongly preferred.
Intuit provides a competitive compensation package with a strong pay for performance rewards approach. This position may be eligible for a cash bonus, equity rewards and benefits, in accordance with our applicable plans and programs.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Developer Advocacy
Frame your degree for specialty occupation
Developer Advocacy sits at the intersection of engineering and communication, so your degree field matters. A computer science or software engineering background clears the specialty occupation bar cleanly; a communications degree alone may require supporting documentation showing technical depth.
Target companies with active LCA filing history
Search DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to find employers who have filed LCAs for Developer Advocate or Developer Relations roles. Prior filings confirm the employer already understands the E-3 visa process and won't stall on your offer.
Search E-3-specific roles on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Developer Advocacy jobs by employers with confirmed E-3 sponsorship history. Most general job boards don't surface visa status at the role level, so you waste time applying to companies that won't sponsor.
Get your job description tied to your degree
Ask your hiring manager to include explicit degree requirements in the official offer letter or job description before the LCA is filed. A vague description like 'technical background preferred' can create problems at the consulate if the specialty occupation link isn't clear.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for LCA and consulate prep
The LCA must be certified by DOL before your consulate appointment, and the timing matters. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage the LCA submission, DS-160, and consulate preparation so nothing falls out of sequence between your offer and your start date.
Negotiate a start date that fits E-3 processing
Consulate appointment wait times in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth vary by season. Build at least four to six weeks between your offer acceptance and your proposed start date so there's room for appointment availability without putting your offer at risk.
E-3 Visa Developer Advocacy: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Developer Advocacy jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It surfaces Developer Advocacy and Developer Relations roles at employers with confirmed E-3 sponsorship history, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never filed an LCA. Filter by role type and sponsorship status to focus your effort on employers who already know how the process works.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Developer Advocacy role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field like computer science, software engineering, or a technical communications discipline. The key is that the degree must be a genuine requirement of the job, not just a preference. If the posting says 'degree preferred,' your employer should update the language before the LCA is filed to avoid consulate scrutiny.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Developer Advocacy roles?
The E-3 is available only to Australian nationals, but it has no lottery and no annual cap, which means you can apply at any time of year and start work as soon as your visa is issued. The H-1B visa has an 85,000-slot annual cap with a lottery that selects roughly one in four registrants. For Australians in Developer Advocacy, the E-3 is a far more predictable path to U.S. employment.
Can I transfer an existing E-3 visa to a new Developer Advocacy employer?
There's no formal transfer process for the E-3. Your new employer files a fresh LCA with DOL and you obtain a new visa stamp for the new role. You can begin working for the new employer once the new LCA is certified and you have a valid visa, but you'll need a consulate appointment if your current stamp has expired or doesn't cover the new employer.
