Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of direct Product Management experience in Fintech, preferably with deep knowledge of fintech platforms
- Proven track record in leading product development from conception through to launch including knowledge of financial markets, regulations, and fintech ecosystem
- Entrepreneurial, driven, passionate about our mission, and have deep empathy for our customers
- Worked with mission-critical financial service providers to deliver cohesive product experiences
- Strong strategic thinking with a keen analytical mindset
- Excellent communication and presentation skills
- Ability to navigate complex technical environments and integrate various systems
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
- Ownership: Develop and communicate a clear product vision aligned with business objectives. Lead initiatives to streamline product development processes and reduce time-to-market while maintaining quality
- North Star: Drive user confidence and trust by delivering a stable and seamless product experience that is built on top of robust integrations, efficient operations, and a comprehensive risk program
- Collaborate: Collaborate with stakeholders across departments including Engineering, Risk, Operations, Legal and Compliance, Finance, and Design to align product goals with business strategies, key product metrics, roadmaps, and performance reports
- Integration Management: Technical aptitude to dive into the details of financial services providers with engineering partners to ensure high-quality outcomes
- Oversee the integration of new technologies and third-party services to enhance product functionality and user experience. Ensure seamless API integrations and partnerships that support our product offerings
- Risk Management: Ensure compliance with regulatory standards and internal policies to mitigate financial and operational risks
- Partner with the Risk team to help deliver a comprehensive risk management framework tailored to our fintech products
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.
