To enable this we’re making a meaningful investment in building a people platform with the right HR Apps such as Performance Management Learning and Management System Applicant Tracking system so SMBs have the right tools to hire and retain great talent.

About the Role:

The Senior Product Manager HR Apps will play a critical leadership role in the strategy and execution of this vision playing a cross-organizational leadership role to inspire teams across Gusto to build on top of our platform.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Share impact they’ve had to their peers and cross-functional stakeholders in specific tangible and non-jargony terms

• Focus on client facing products though strong product-minded leaders in other crafts who fit the profile are also welcomed to apply

• Excellent technical acumen with the ability to understand technical diagrams and discuss tradeoffs in approach with senior engineers

• Strong opinions and high standards around the user experience — is particularly adept at thinking about systems cohesiveness and how to approach governance

• Has managed very senior people before and knows how to align them when to give space and when and how to coach and motivate

• Undaunted by organizational complexity and relishes in change management and unsticking sticky situations

• Energized by customer empathy and understanding while being able to speak to how customer impact is driving the business forward

• Thinks of themselves as a cross functional business leader first — is not tied to a particular craft swim lane

• Able to move from high altitude brainstorming and architecture down into problem solving and unblocking teams in the weeds when it’s required

• Executive presence and strong storytelling skills — can craft a simple vision for a complex system inspire people to rally around it and drive iterative but meaningful results

Here’s what we're looking for:

• 5+ years working on high growth digital experiences with at least 4 of those years focused on customer facing products

• Demonstrated experience scaling platform products end-to-end. 0-1experience is a bonus

• Ideal candidates will have seen products through a period of growth transition or change and will have proven methodologies and tangible examples for how they’ve driven adoption
