Staff Product Manager - Done for you Payroll experiences

Company Overview

Job Overview

Mission: Build the future of payroll where the system does the work—a “done-for-you, accurate payroll every time” experience that SMBs and Mid-Market teams can trust without thinking about it.

QuickBooks already operates at massive scale (Intuit serves ~100M customers worldwide , and QuickBooks has 7M+ online subscribers ). Now we’re taking the category we lead and turning it into the best payroll platform for Mid-Market and Enterprise, by automating the core workflows end-to-end with a mix of classic systems thinking and modern AI.

If you’re hungry to ship, obsess over customer pain, and want to build agentic automation that customers feel in their bones—keep reading.

Responsibilities

You’ll own major pillars of payroll automation that remove work, reduce risk, and increase trust—across time, pay, tax, compliance, and approvals. Our products already include payroll solutions with automated tax payments and filings and integrate across QuickBooks Online/Desktop and Intuit Enterprise Suite —your job is to take this further into true “done-for-you.”

Examples of problems you’ll tackle:

• Autopilot payroll runs: detect readiness, gather missing inputs, flag anomalies, and drive approvals.

• AI-assisted accuracy: catch inconsistencies before they become pay mistakes (hours, rates, deductions, garnishments, taxes).

• Compliance that’s invisible: proactive guardrails + “explainability” so admins know why something changed.

• Workflow transformation (not just AI features): simplify the underlying systems, permissions, and data models so automation is reliable at scale.

• Agent experiences: build systems that behave like a high-performing payroll admin—while customers remain in control .

  
  This isn’t “add an AI button.” It’s a product transformation, measured in outcomes:

  • fewer payroll exceptions

  • fewer corrections / tax notices

  • faster payroll completion

  • higher attach/retention

  • provable trust + auditability

  Intuit is investing hard here: FY25 Online Ecosystem revenue was $8.3B , with Online Services up 19% and growth driven by money + payroll . You will be building at the center of that growth engine.

Qualifications

What you’ll do (day to day)

• Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for automating core payroll workflows (AI + non-AI).

• Partner deeply with engineering, data science, design, research, compliance/legal, and GTM.

• Define “done-for-you” experiences with crisp success metrics, experimentation plans, and learnings.

• Drive system-level improvements (workflow redesign, data quality, controls) that make automation dependable.

• Build with a responsible AI mindset: human-in-the-loop where needed, clear approvals, strong evaluation loops.

Who we’re looking for

You might be the one if you:

• Have strong product judgment and love simplifying messy, high-stakes workflows.

• Can operate in ambiguity, move fast, and still build durable systems (accuracy matters here).

• Are comfortable partnering with technical teams on ML/LLM-powered automation, data pipelines, evaluation, and rollout strategy.

• Have a history of shaping successful products during 5+ years experience in product management

• Know how to turn customer pain into an execution plan—and then ship relentlessly.

Bonus points

• Payroll, HR, benefits, time tracking, fintech, compliance, or other regulated workflow experience.

• You’ve shipped automation/agentic products with measurable trust + quality improvements.

• Background in computer science or other technical background allowing you to partner effectively with our engineering team
