What Product Management is like at Gusto:

• We’re looking for high-autonomy entrepreneurial Product Managers to 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 believe in smaller empowered teams that move quickly with less overhead. You’ll move fast by pairing sharp product judgment with fluency in AI tools — automating what slows teams down and amplifying what makes them creative and high-performing.

• We’re boundaryless builders. Lines between roles are intentionally blurred and our PMs do whatever it takes to deliver outcomes. You’ll prototype automate design and ship — using AI as your co-builder to turn problems into durable solutions that deliver customer value with urgency and care.

• 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 — building technology for an AI-first world that gives them the superpowers to run and grow their businesses with confidence.

• We’re comfortable with change. Our environment moves fast and PMs here thrive in ambiguity — blending curiosity experimentation and AI-native craft to shape how products (and work itself) are built at Gusto.
