Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of hands-on product management experience or 8+ years of relevant experience
- Proven track record of effective execution and building consumer-facing products that customers love
- Strong cross-functional collaboration with both technical and non-technical leaders and teams
- Ability to identify emerging opportunities and industry trends, build business cases, define product strategy, and create a supporting roadmap
- Entrepreneurial, driven, passionate about our mission, and have deep empathy for our customers
- Experience working in operationally complex spaces and regulated industries
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
- Gusto Benefits is on a mission to expand and enable access to quality health and financial benefits
- We aspire to be the #1 Benefits solution for Small & Mid-Sized Businesses. Large employers have teams of experts helping them craft high-quality and cost-effective benefits packages. SMBs have Gusto
- Our Benefits Product team is responsible for the full stack of Gusto’s Benefits product, including the front-end app, its underlying platform services, and internal tooling for our Operations teams
- As part of Gusto’s Benefits Product team, this role will focus on reimagining the benefits enrollment experience and refining the underlying enrollment system
- You’ll be joining a collaborative team that tackles meaningful, high-impact challenges core to our mission
- North Star: Deliver meaningful improvements to how small business employees access and engage with their benefits. A key aspect of this will involve developing a thoughtful benefits enrollment experience that enables employees to make informed decisions about which benefits to enroll in, ultimately increasing benefit elections
- Ownership: As the end-to-end owner, you will be responsible for developing a strategy to address key customer challenges in the benefits space, while driving adoption and enhancing the customer experience
- Collaborate: You'll work closely with multiple teams, including engineering, design, data science, sales, and customer experience, to craft and drive the roadmap
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.
