Principal Product Manager, Gusto Pro

We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager to set and drive the product strategy for Gusto Pro, our product specifically built for Accountants. Accountants play a critical role within the Gusto ecosystem. They are one of our largest user groups, but also act as a one-to-many growth engine by referring their small business clients to use Gusto as their payroll provider, generating a substantial portion of our total revenue.

We have ambitious plans to become the most efficient and scalable platform for accountants to deliver payroll services to their clients and help millions of small businesses as a result. If you enjoy uncovering & solving big problems for small businesses, applying new technology like generative AI, and identifying ways to propel the growth of a referral-driven business model, we’d love to hear from you.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Lead product discovery to uncover/deeply understand customer problems and test risky assumptions
• Create a long-term vision and strategy that defines the big problems we can solve well with durable competitive advantage
• Partner closely with Engineering, Design and Data Science on all stages of the product development process, and to create an environment of customer obsession, drive contribution & excitement on the vision and roadmap
• Explore and apply emerging technologies such as generative AI to innovate on the best ways to solve customer problems
• Rapidly execute and iterate with an emphasis on user delight, impact, and learning. Regularly take risks and make calculated tradeoffs
• Define, measure, and improve key product and business metrics 
• Collaborate with Sales, Product Marketing and other cross-functional teams to take products to market successfully and create effective feedback loops.

Here’s what we're looking for:

• 5-7 years of hands-on Product Management experience 
• Proven track record of building products customers love in rapidly scaling companies
• The intangibles: Natural curiosity, grit, customer obsession, and attention to detail
• Strong product discovery and analytics skills
• The ability to tell a compelling story that drives alignment and inspires action
• A passion for helping small and medium size businesses
• Experience building AI-driven features is big bonus
