Payroll is Gusto’s core product, used by each of our 400,000+ small business customers and contributing significantly to our annual recurring revenue. As a key member of Gusto’s product leadership team, you will assume end-to-end responsibility for the Payroll product strategy, roadmap, and business performance. You will directly lead the product team and indirectly oversee various cross-functional departments, all collaborating to deliver the ultimate Payroll experience for our valued customers. 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! What Product Management Is Like At Gusto 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. 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. Qualifications and Experience 15+ years of hands-on product management experience across all roles/levels, with at least 5+ years leading and managing PMs (ideally teams of >=5). 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.
