Principal Product Manager, AI-Native Nonprofit
About the role
Nonprofits — grant-funded 501(c)(3) organizations, associations, and member organizations — carry financial complexity that generic accounting software was never built to handle. Restricted funds, multi-year grant compliance, and board-level financial reporting demand purpose-built infrastructure. And yet most mid-market nonprofits doing $2.5M–$100M in revenue are running their finances on tools built for businesses nothing like theirs. Intuit's strategy is to become the financial operating system for this segment — automating fund accounting, eliminating grant compliance burden, and giving nonprofit finance teams the real-time intelligence they have never had. The financial burden is two-sided: fund-based accounting complexity — restricted versus unrestricted net assets, multi-dimensional classification, restriction release entries — and grant compliance complexity — multi-funder awards, federal reporting, single audit thresholds. Most have no system that handles both. That is the gap Intuit is building to fill. As the Principal Product Manager for AI-Native Non-Profit, you will own Intuit's end-to-end nonprofit financial platform strategy for the mid-market — the build, buy, and partner decisions, the roadmap from fund accounting foundations through full grant compliance depth, and the product bets that make Intuit the financial backbone of the non-profit sector.
Responsibilities
- Define the end-to-end strategy for Intuit's mid-market nonprofit segment — build, buy, and partner decisions, roadmap sequencing, and the bets that determine where we play and how we win.
- Build the fund accounting engine — restricted versus unrestricted net asset tracking, automatic restriction release entries, and multi-dimensional classification across Fund, Program, and Grant — eliminating the manual journal entry workflows that drive audit anxiety.
- Deliver the native grant object — multi-funder, multi-year award tracking, budget versus actuals at the sub-award level, and automated federal compliance including indirect cost rate calculation, SF-425 templates, and SEFA generation.
- Ship the compliance layer — Statement of Activities, Statement of Functional Expenses, Form 990, LD-2 lobbying disclosure, and UBIT tracking — where agents pre-populate required filings from GL data without manual rebuild.
- Drive pledge tracking, deferred revenue recognition, donor segmentation, and lapsed-donor alerts — and define the integration strategy with leading donor CRM platforms that makes Intuit the center of the nonprofit financial ecosystem.
- Lead the migration infrastructure that moves accounting firms and their clients onto the platform without data loss — the structural advantage incumbents cannot replicate and the channel unlock that drives partners to migrate their entire client book.
Qualifications
- 10+ years in Product Management with deep expertise in nonprofit financial management, fund accounting, or philanthropy technology — at a nonprofit SaaS platform or a financial and ERP platform serving the sector.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Nonprofit Management, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience; advanced degree (MPA, MBA, or MSA) a plus.
- Firsthand knowledge of nonprofit financial operations — fund accounting, grant compliance, federal reporting, and audit requirements. You understand the three dimensions that define every nonprofit's product requirements: tax status, mission type, and funding model. Earned in the sector, not learned in a spec.
- Deep command across 501(c)(3), (c)(4), and (c)(6) organizations — and the product implications of each tax status, mission type, and funding model combination.
- Expert knowledge of FASB ASC 958, Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200), Form 990, LD-2, and UBIT — able to speak credibly to a nonprofit CFO, an auditor, and an AI engineer in the same conversation.
- Proven ability to ship LLM or agent-powered products in production, writing agentic specs with objectives, tool definitions, confidence thresholds, and escalation logic — and knowing the difference between automating a workflow and building a system that earns trust in a compliance-sensitive environment.
- Experience building for accounting firm intermediaries and defining integration strategies with donor CRM and spend management platforms.
- Ability to architect data migrations and bi-directional integrations as a strategic foundation, and evaluate build, buy, and partner tradeoffs with rigor.
- Proven ability to influence across engineering, design, sales, and finance, build channel partnerships with accounting firms, and anticipate market shifts before they surface in win/loss data.
