Head of Product, Core Experiences Platform at Gusto

This leadership role is designed for a seasoned product professional with 10+ years of experience, specifically in platform product management within high-growth technology companies. You are an ideal candidate if you excel at "systems thinking"—building the underlying engines, APIs, and data models that power multiple products simultaneously—rather than just managing a single user-facing app. This is a high-impact position central to the company’s "AI-first" evolution, offering significant visibility across the entire organization. The compensation is highly competitive, scaling up to $292,000 depending on your location (with hubs in SF, NYC, Denver, and Seattle). You’ll enjoy a hybrid work model (2-3 days in-office) and the opportunity to shape how a major fintech platform serves over 400,000 small businesses. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a proven track record of leading platform teams and managing complex cross-product dependencies. * Are deeply "AI-fluent," with hands-on experience building and shipping features using modern LLMs and machine learning. * Thrive in "0 to 1" environments where you must define a vision from scratch while also scaling existing systems. * Can simplify complex compliance, reporting, and onboarding logic into elegant, reusable developer and user experiences.
