Join a world-class team building the future of how small and mid-market businesses around the world run and grow with QuickBooks. As a Principal Product Designer on International, you’ll own design strategy, craft, and outcomes for one of our biggest company bets as we shift from sales-led expansion to AI-driven platform growth across Canada, the UK and Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and Western Europe.
You’ll set design direction across multiple product areas and markets and rally product, engineering, analytics, and marketing behind a clear, customer-backed point of view. This is an offering-level role for someone who thinks in systems and journeys, not one-off screens. You’ll design experiences that are global by design: built once and deployed everywhere, while staying locally relevant for customers with different currencies, regulations, languages, and expectations.
At Intuit, we're intentionally building AI into how we design, prototype, and ship — and we're committed to equipping our teams to work at the forefront of it. We look for designers who are excited to bring AI into their workflow — using it to move faster, explore further, and save their energy for the decisions that only human judgment and creativity can make. We're looking for designers who are curious, eager to experiment, and excited to continually evolve how they work.
Responsibilities
- Own the design strategy and vision for a major International product area, connecting near-term experimentation to durable, high-quality customer experiences across markets.
- Be directly accountable for experience quality and business results, including customer growth, activation, conversion, and retention.
- Drive an AI-first design strategy, reimagining end-to-end journeys with AI and human expertise at the center, including mobile-first, agentic experiences and entry points on non-Intuit surfaces.
- Design experiences that make AI-powered features intuitive, transparent, and trustworthy for a diverse range of users.
- Design for global scale. Define universal design patterns and primitives that ship internationally in lockstep with the US, and decide what must be localized and what should stay consistent.
- Shape experiences for different growth motions: a centralized, product-led engine for small businesses, and a high-touch, sales-led motion with accountants and advisors for Mid-Market.
- Set the bar for a high-velocity design and experimentation culture, from discovery through rapid prototyping and A/B testing, without sacrificing craft for speed.
- Up-level design craft across a distributed team spanning our International hubs, and raise the standard for visual, interaction, and systems-level design.
- Influence senior leadership and cross-functional partners with craft-forward storytelling and research-backed points of view. Align teams on target customers and the experience needed to win them in each market.
- Coach designers and partners on craft and strategic thinking. Help shape the team’s identity, design standards, and operating model as we scale a Hub & Spoke organization.
- Partner deeply with PM, engineering, analytics, and marketing as part of a dedicated International triad.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of product design experience, with a strong focus on product-led growth, funnel and conversion design, or B2B/SaaS growth.
- Track record of owning offering- or segment-level design strategy and delivering measurable business outcomes without compromising experience quality.
- Experience designing products for multiple international markets, including localization, multi-currency and multi-language experiences, and regulatory differences such as tax, compliance, and e-invoicing.
- Deep expertise in experimentation and A/B testing, with fluency in behavioral data and funnel analytics.
- Experience designing with AI/ML, such as personalization, agentic workflows, and AI-accelerated discovery and delivery.
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools into your design workflow to improve quality, speed, or exploration.
- Experience with design systems or platform-level primitives that scale across products and geographies.
- Demonstrated ability to up-level craft across a team, including remote and cross-timezone teams.
- Excellent storytelling, communication, and influence skills, including the ability to rally senior executives and cross-functional partners across regions.
- Strong portfolio demonstrating rigorous craft, systems-level thinking, and measurable impact at scale.

Frame your portfolio around measurable outcomes
USCIS adjudicators evaluate whether your role genuinely requires specialized degree-level knowledge. Documenting how your design decisions reduced user drop-off or improved task completion rates demonstrates theoretical and practical expertise that strengthens the specialty occupation argument in your petition.
Verify prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level III or Level IV rate for your city before negotiations begin, so you can flag any gap early.
Target employers with active H-1B LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers who have already certified LCAs for UX and design roles. Employers with recent filing history have established internal processes and legal counsel, which significantly reduces delays and petition errors during your onboarding timeline.
Confirm each worksite gets its own certified LCA
If your Principal UX Designer role involves hybrid work across multiple offices or client sites, your employer must file a separate certified LCA for each worksite location. Catch this before your start date to avoid compliance gaps that could disrupt your status.
Review your O*NET profile to build your specialty occupation case
The O*NET profile for UX-adjacent SOC codes lists the specific knowledge domains and skills tied to degree-level training. Referencing these in your support letter helps your employer attorney demonstrate that the position exceeds general experience and requires a directly related bachelor's degree.
Account for cap-subject timing when resigning your current role
H-1B selection rules have changed recently, so the timeline from registration to approval is less predictable than it once was. Don't resign your current position until USCIS has approved your I-129 petition or your employer has filed under cap-exempt status, such as at a qualifying nonprofit or research institution.
H-1B Visa Principal UX Designer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Principal UX Designer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, Principal UX Designer roles typically qualify. The position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in human-computer interaction, interaction design, cognitive science, computer science, or a closely related field. Because the role demands applied theoretical knowledge rather than general experience, USCIS regularly recognizes it as a specialty occupation when the employer documents the degree requirement in the job description and support letter.
What LCA wage level should a sponsoring employer certify for a Principal UX Designer?
Most Principal UX Designer roles are certified at DOL wage Level III or Level IV, reflecting senior-level responsibilities such as leading design systems, managing cross-functional teams, and setting UX strategy. Your employer determines the appropriate level based on the SOC code, geographic worksite, and your experience. Use the OFLC Wage Search to verify the prevailing wage for your specific city before your offer letter is finalized.
How long does H-1B sponsorship last for a Principal UX Designer?
USCIS grants H-1B status for an initial period of up to three years, with extensions available up to a six-year maximum. If your employer is sponsoring you for a green card and an I-140 petition is approved, additional extensions beyond six years may be available under AC21 portability rules. Each extension requires a new I-129 petition and an updated certified LCA.
What documents strengthen an H-1B petition for a Principal UX Designer?
A strong petition includes a detailed support letter explaining why the role requires a specific bachelor's degree rather than general experience, your official degree transcripts or a credential evaluation if your degree is from outside the United States, your portfolio demonstrating advanced UX methodology, and a certified LCA matching the worksite and wage level. If your degree is in an adjacent field like graphic design or psychology, a detailed course-by-course evaluation helps establish relevance.
How do I find employers who already sponsor H-1B visas for Principal UX Designer roles?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history for design and UX roles, searchable by location and job type. Focusing on employers with an established filing track record means their HR and legal teams already understand the process, which reduces the risk of delays, errors, or last-minute withdrawals during your petition timeline.
