Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of direct Product Management experience, specifically within highly regulated, compliance-sensitive domains such as fintech, payroll, tax, or legal tech
- Demonstrated track record successfully building products from zero-to-one, including defining strategic vision and executing through launch
- Comfort and resilience in ambiguous environments, adept at clarifying complex initiatives and structuring actionable strategies despite incomplete or evolving regulations
- Proven ability integrating human-powered operations with technology-driven solutions, optimizing workflows over time through automation
- Experience effectively navigating organizational complexities and legacy systems, driving incremental progress through thoughtful risk management and persistent execution
- Exceptional cross-functional influence, able to build alignment across engineering, compliance, operations, and marketing teams without direct authority
- Skilled communicator, translating complex regulatory requirements into clear product strategies that teams can act on confidently and quickly
- When approved to work from a location other than a Gusto office, a secure, reliable, and consistent internet connection is required
What the job involves
- We’re looking for high-autonomy, entrepreneurial Product Managers to come build high-impact solutions for small businesses and their employees
- We believe in high-ownership Product Managers who operate like business owners - owning an entire roadmap end to end and shipping product all the way from strategy through to the nitty gritty details (some describe this kind of role as a “GM” type role)
- Our Product team is lean, which means you’ll have a high degree of impact and ownership
- We’re here to serve small and medium businesses. Gusto has a strong mission-driven culture, and we care deeply about lifting up these business owners
- This role is on the Company team—a strategic group defining Gusto’s future for SMBs
- Our vision is to engage and support customers throughout their entire business journey, helping them navigate essential compliance tasks and growth opportunities
- You'll join a nimble team functioning like a startup within Gusto, driving ambitious goals to transform how SMBs manage compliance
- Ownership: Define and prioritize high-impact initiatives, driving clarity and alignment across the organization to achieve cohesive end-to-end customer solutions
- North Star: Navigate complex regulatory environments, shaping strategic initiatives that achieve and iterate on product-market fit while enabling scale
- Collaborate: Partner deeply with compliance, engineering, design, marketing, and operations teams to align cross-functional efforts, clearly manage dependencies, and deliver transformative customer experiences
- Accelerate team expertise in entity management and regulatory compliance through mentorship and strategic leadership
Our take
For many small businesses, vital administrative tasks such as payroll, taxes, and benefits are manual tasks that take time and energy which many SMB owners don’t have. The three co-founders of Gusto – all coming from small business backgrounds – collaborated on a Fintech company that would handle employee payments, benefits administration, and compliance support specifically for small businesses.
The company may have started slowly, as the founders focused on nailing each individual aspect of Gusto’s operations, but has now skyrocketed to unicorn status with more than 200,000 customers and a multi-billion dollar valuation. In 2021, Gusto began acquiring other companies to strengthen its offering and its position in a competitive market, including two other fintech startups, Ardius and Symmetry.
Through its continued acquisitions and fundraising efforts, the company has carved out a strong position for itself in the space. Although Gusto has found itself impacted by the macroeconomic situation, through the significant effect it has had on its clientele, the company still appears positive for the future after raising funds in 2023 that will see it reach key profitability benchmarks. It continues to consolidate its platform, for example by integrating with OpenComp to grant its users access to the company's Compensation Intelligence Platform.
