Job Overview

The Staff,  Learning Development & Production Manager owns the operational success and workforce direction of the Solutions Studio — a team of US-based contingent instructional designers producing learning content at scale for Expert Excellence. This role sits within Portfolio Strategy & Business Excellence and connects the content production function to the broader supply chain — translating intake commitments into delivered, quality-assured learning assets.

This role pivots from execution to oversight, ensuring that the team delivers high-quality, AI-driven learning experiences at scale for both domestic and global (India) operations. You will drive a "connected studio" model, managing intake-to-build handoffs and ensuring that production meets established quotas and deadlines. By combining instructional design expertise with rigorous operational discipline, you will oversee the deployment of GenAI tools (Claude, LLMs) to maximize efficiency while maintaining Intuit's pedagogical and brand standards. You serve as the primary mentor and performance manager for our vendor partners, ensuring a zero-defect culture and continuous improvement in speed-to-proficiency baselines.
