The opportunity

About Gusto At Gusto, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff — payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR — so owners can focus on their craft and their customers.

What they're looking for

  • Build lightweight but scalable People frameworks, operating mechanisms, and: repeatable processes that improve consistency across the business.
  • When org changes are decided, own end-to-end execution: transition planning, communication sequencing, Workday updates, leader enablement, and follow-through until nothing is left unresolved.
  • Build trusted partnerships with Engineering, Data Science, and Security/IT: leaders — understanding what's happening in their teams, surfacing friction early, and navigating performance management, promotions, leveling, and employee relations matters with good judgment.
  • Synthesize People data: gPulse results, Gustofied performance cycles, attrition signals, headcount trends — into clear, actionable reads for R&D leaders before they have to ask.
