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.

The team is responsible for a meaningful portion of Gusto’s overall revenue goals, and has central, shared responsibility for driving traffic to Gusto’s wide range of small business products. 

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Ownership: Own customer experiences driving awareness, consideration and adoption of the Gusto product suite - and represent a primary revenue driver for the company
• North Star: Broad adoption of Gusto’s entrepreneurial platform suite of products across the Gusto existing customer base - driving revenue, product and strategic differentiation
• Collaborate: Tight collaboration will include the Gusto core experiences team, other growth teams and the various product teams associated with the extended product suite - including HR, payroll, compliance, fintech, time tracking & scheduling and other products to serve SMBs

• 12+ years of hands-on Product Management experience 
• Intuition for the issues and economics of small businesses - as well as the ability to conceptualize and articulate SMB business strategies

• Track record bringing creativity to the creation of digital consumer or SMB experiences
• Talent in working with design partners to bring creativity to design
• Ability to collaborate with a wide range of cross functional partners. 
• Either experience or intuition around the potential for AI to change the paradigm for digital experience design
