Your role will encompass building a dynamic team, a thriving business, and a suite of products that will be adored by our customers while setting industry benchmarks.

    If you are a customer-centric builder who thrives on making a substantial impact within a high-growth organization, we would be thrilled to hear from you!

    About the Team :

    Payroll is the heart of Gusto's business, ensuring employees are paid accurately, on time, and in compliance with complex regulations. Our teams build and maintain the infrastructure and customer experiences that make payroll simple, reliable, and stress-free. We design user-friendly team management products that integrate seamlessly with Gusto's broader Small Business Platform, combining digital solutions with human support where it's needed most. We serve customers at every stage, from new employers hiring their first team members to growing businesses with expanding needs. No matter the size or complexity of your business, our solutions provide peace of mind and take the work out of paying your team.

    Here's what you'll do day-to-day :

  • Ownership : Take ownership of the Payroll product and business area from end to end.
  • North Star : Define and drive the long-term vision and strategy for Gusto Payroll, charting the future of how small businesses will pay and empower their teams, and positioning Payroll for its next era of growth and scale.
  • Collaborate : Work with a strong cross-functional team of Engineers, Product Managers, Designers, and Data Scientists to bring your product strategy to life for customers.
  • Empowerment : Directly coach and lead a talented team of senior product managers.
  • Here's what we're looking for :

  • 15+ years of hands-on product management experience across all roles / levels, with at least 5+ years leading and managing PMs (ideally teams of >

  • A people-first leader who builds, mentors, and empowers senior PMs, fosters an inclusive product culture, and inspires teams to deliver with clarity, ownership, and accountability.
  • Background in SMB-focused software, with experience working in complex areas and regulated categories strongly preferred.
  • Strong track record of building and scaling large, mission-critical products, with the ability to break down multi-year initiatives into pragmatic, high-impact launches.
  • Skilled at collaborating across Engineering, Design, Data, Ops, Compliance, Finance, and GTM teams to drive adoption, revenue outcomes, and customer success.
  • If you don't think you meet all of the criteria above but still are interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box, and we're looking for someone excited to join the team.
