The new headquarters, located at One O’Connell Street in Sydney, will be home to 60 employees and will also feature a co-working space for eco-system partners to foster deeper integration and collaboration.
Brad Paterson, vice-president and managing director of Intuit in Asia Pacific, said the move marks a coming of age for Intuit Australia.
“This move represents a significant investment to support expansion under the stewardship of one of Australia’s leading women in technology. It will help us serve our customers and create one of the best places to work in Australia,” Mr Paterson said.
Managing director of Intuit Australia, Nicolette Maury, said the space has been created to mimic the look and feel of a start-up, reflecting Intuit’s own workplace culture and reputation as a 30-year-old start-up.
“At Intuit, everyone is an entrepreneur. We work in agile teams and encourage rapid experimentation, idea generation and decision-making based on data and customer insights. Our 'design for delight' philosophy means we develop deep customer empathy to help us identify and solve problems and unmet customer needs.
“I’m delighted that our new office space enables us to create more opportunities for close collaboration with customers through training and insights sessions. This will help drive innovation, and ultimately that’s what we’re all about,” she said.
