Principal Product Designer

Overview Come join Intuit Mailchimp Product Design. We are a small-group-in-a-big-company kind of team. We care about the work, the details, and the people using what we build. We like hard problems because they force clarity. We like craft because it shows up in the moments customers feel, not the slides we present.
We are hiring a Principal Product Designer to help shape the future of our evolving platform. This is a high-craft, systems-oriented role focused on defining end-to-end platform experiences that are clear, scalable, and genuinely useful. You will partner across product areas to make the ecosystem feel coherent, so customers can move through it with confidence. The work is about reducing friction, strengthening trust, and raising the quality bar across every touchpoint.
This is not a feature-level role. It is about how the system behaves, how experiences connect, and how continuity feels effortless at scale. You will bring taste and judgement to hard tradeoffs, and you will help us apply AI with intention, in ways that are transparent, respectful, and measurably better for customers. If you believe good design is as much what we remove as what we add, you will fit right in.
