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’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. About the Team: The Core Experiences Platform teams encompass the foundational data models, APIs, and UX concepts (or “commons”) that teams across Gusto leverage to build high quality, cohesive experiences at scale. We think globally about how to craft a thoughtful system of apps and experiences — considering the full stack — so that App teams can focus more locally on solving their unique jobs to be done. This work is critical to ensuring that Gusto functions and feels like one integrated, connected experience, where concepts, data, and UX patterns have shared meaning and where customers can build their own understanding and confidence because the experience is predictable, consistent, easy to use and feels custom-built for the unique needs of their business. This role will support Core Experiences, and focus on building new platform services to enable Gusto to serve more complex company structures. Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day: - Ownership: Craft a holistic vision grounded and lead the long-term product strategy for how Gusto represents more complex companies in both our data models and product experiences. - North Star: Your goal is to evolve Gusto’s data model and product experience to unlock new business opportunities for companies with more complex tax reporting structures. - Collaborate: Work closely with Design, Engineering, Data, and peer Product teams to drive the roadmap forward. You’ll also manage dependencies and mitigate roadblocks that could impact the design system's development or adoption. - Problem Framing & Research: Distill insights and data from key stakeholders, industry trends, competitive analysis, business and product metrics, and other sources to guide strategy. - Roadmapping & Prioritization: Set goals and strategy for your domain then translate it into a roadmap, milestones, and requirements collaboratively to drive alignment and excitement with your cross-functional partners and stakeholders. - Measure & Communicate: Define success metrics that reflect adoption, usage, and system health. You will demonstrate how the system drives org-wide value—even when that value is indirect—and advocate for its role as a core platform investment. Here’s what we're looking for: - 5+ years of product management experience driving platforms and systems including experience with building 0-1 platforms with - 3+ years with data modeling and/or architecture experience - Experience driving high growth of product from launch phase to scaled adoption - Ability to set a strategy and translate to a roadmap & metrics with end-to-end execution - Data and hypothesis driven, business-minded - Experience collaborating with multiple stakeholders to build scalable platforms - Creating and growing diverse and passionate product teams - Zest for learning and first principles thinking If you don't think you meet all of the criteria above but still are interested in the job, please apply.
