About the Role:
At Gusto, we recognize that one of the most vital responsibilities for small businesses is ensuring their teams are paid accurately and on time. Payroll is not merely a feature; it is the cornerstone of trust for every business that relies on us.
As the Senior Product Design Manager for Payroll, you will steer the design of one of Gusto’s most intricate and essential product segments, influencing the future of a solution that millions depend on for financial security and success. This impactful and highly visible role encompasses broad responsibilities. You will lead a talented team of designers, establishing the UX trajectory for Payroll, collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Data, Ops, Compliance, and other teams to navigate payroll complexities, so our customers can focus on their core business.
Your responsibilities will entail simplifying complex and interrelated workflows, defining a visionary long-term UX strategy, and championing automation and AI initiatives that streamline the payroll process. Additionally, you will mentor designers, elevate the standard of craftsmanship across the Design team, and contribute to platform standards that enable consistency and quality across Gusto’s offerings.

The Payroll team is foundational to Gusto, and our most cherished product. It is often the first interaction our customers have with Gusto, and it continues to be vital to their growth. Payroll also supports our broader ecosystem, facilitating the integration of Benefits, Time Tracking, HR tools, and much more. Our mission is to enhance and scale this core experience for small businesses of all types, from solo entrepreneurs to expanding firms. We aim to alleviate the intricacies of payroll, making it faster, more adaptable, and increasingly hands-off for our customers.
