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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Principal Product Designer
Frame your portfolio around systems thinking
Consular officers and USCIS reviewers assess specialty occupation partly through job complexity. A portfolio showing end-to-end design systems, cross-functional leadership, and measurable product outcomes signals the advanced judgment this title requires, strengthening the specialty occupation argument in your petition.
Verify your degree field matches the LCA
USCIS scrutinizes whether your degree directly relates to the role. A bachelor's in graphic design may not satisfy a Principal Product Designer petition if the employer's LCA cites HCI or UX Engineering. Request the job description draft before the LCA is filed to catch mismatches early.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to find employers who have filed LCAs specifically for product design roles, so you're applying to companies with proven sponsorship infrastructure rather than ones encountering the process for the first time.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
The employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your location and experience level. Run your title and metro area through the OFLC Wage Search before accepting an offer so you know the minimum the LCA must certify, and can negotiate from an informed baseline.
Ask HR whether the role is cap-exempt
Design roles at nonprofits, universities, and certain research institutions can be cap-exempt, bypassing the H-1B annual lottery entirely. If a company has a university partnership or nonprofit affiliate, ask their immigration counsel whether petitions route through that entity before assuming you must enter the lottery.
Document your Principal-level scope before filing
USCIS often issues Requests for Evidence on seniority titles, questioning whether the role truly requires a specialty degree versus general experience. Gather org charts, evidence of direct reports or cross-functional ownership, and project briefs showing strategic scope before the I-129 petition is drafted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Principal Product Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS evaluates whether the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, such as HCI, interaction design, or product design. Principal-level roles generally satisfy this because the seniority implies specialized knowledge beyond general design skills. The employer's job description must explicitly tie the duties to that degree requirement, not just list design experience.
Will a three-year bachelor's degree be accepted for a Principal Product Designer petition?
USCIS accepts three-year degrees if a credentials evaluation establishes equivalency to a U.S. four-year bachelor's degree. For Australian applicants on the E-3 visa, this evaluation is especially relevant since most Australian design degrees run three years. Submit a credential evaluation from a NACES-member organization with your petition or visa application to avoid a Request for Evidence on educational qualification.
How do I find Principal Product Designer roles where employers are ready to sponsor?
Browse Migrate Mate, which lists employers with verified LCA sponsorship history for product design roles, so you can focus on companies that have already filed for this title rather than cold-pitching sponsorship to employers unfamiliar with the process.
Can a Principal Product Designer change employers mid-H-1B without losing status?
Yes. Under H-1B portability, you can start working for a new employer once the new I-129 petition is filed with USCIS, provided you're maintaining valid H-1B status at the time of filing. You don't need to wait for approval before starting. The new employer must file a new LCA certified by DOL and a new I-129 petition before your first day.
Does the Principal Product Designer title trigger more USCIS scrutiny than a standard UX Designer?
It can. Senior and principal titles prompt USCIS to verify the role genuinely requires a specialized degree rather than accumulated experience alone. Officers sometimes issue Requests for Evidence asking for evidence of educational requirements in the industry for comparable roles. O*NET occupational data and the employer's internal job architecture documentation both help substantiate that a degree in a specific field is an industry norm for this level.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Principal Product Designer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
