Senior Product Manager

Gusto is on a mission to grow the small business economy, handling payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR for over 500,000 small businesses nationwide. With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, Gusto is building a workplace that reflects the people it serves. All full-time employees receive competitive base pay, benefits, and equity (RSUs).

Every employer has to pay and file its taxes correctly and on time. Gusto's Tax Payments & Filings team owns that promise for more than 500,000 businesses and millions of employees, moving billions of dollars to federal, state, and local agencies. You'll join the team building the tooling, automation, and AI-enabled systems that keep Gusto ahead of constant regulatory change, working with the Operations and Compliance teams who are your primary customers and the engineers who know this domain deeply.

• Own the investment strategy for how Gusto gains leverage over tax compliance, deciding where the team places its bets and setting long-term direction.
• Partner across Engineering, Design, Operations, Compliance, Legal, and CX to find friction, validate solutions, and build alignment.
• Prototype, get into the weeds of tax, and use AI to ship scalable solutions faster than the rules can change.

• 5+ years of hands-on product management experience, including ownership of internal-facing platforms, tooling, or operational systems.
• A track record of driving leverage: building automation, tooling, or system improvements that removed real work.
• Strong technical fluency and a genuine partnership with engineering, with comfort operating in complex codebases.
• Experience in a compliance-driven or highly regulated domain (e.g., financial services, banking, insurance, tax, healthcare, or benefits).
• Hands-on experience with AI and automation.
• You use data to find the highest-leverage opportunities, set goals, and measure impact.
• An exceptional cross-functional partner, especially with internal customers like Operations and Compliance and with engineering.
• Ability to bring structure to ambiguity: define direction, sequence the work, and make deliberate prioritization tradeoffs based on clear frameworks.

Cash compensation for this role is $152,000/yr to $190,000/yr in Denver & most major metro locations, and $184,000/yr to $230,000/yr for San Francisco, Seattle & New York. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate location, experience and expertise. All full-time employees receive competitive base pay, benefits, and equity (RSUs).

Gusto has offices in Denver, San Francisco, and New York. Employees based in those locations are expected to work from the office on designated days approximately 2-3 days per week (or more depending on role). The San Francisco office expectations encompass both the San Francisco and San Jose metro areas. When approved to work from a location other than a Gusto office, a secure, reliable, and consistent internet connection is required.
