PEO Compliance Lead - Benefits Product at Gusto

This role is designed for a seasoned compliance professional with at least 8 years of experience, specifically within the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) or co-employment space. The ideal candidate has a deep technical background in multi-state health insurance regulations, ERISA, and the Affordable Care Act, and is comfortable navigating the intersection of benefits, insurance brokerage, and employment law. A standout aspect of this position is its strategic influence; you won't just be following rules, but designing the compliance architecture for complex, multi-entity products. While the role is based in major hubs like Denver, SF, or NYC, it offers a stable hybrid schedule (2-3 days in-office). Compensation is competitive, scaling up to $167k in high-cost markets, and provides the chance to lead within a high-growth fintech environment. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have deep expertise in **cPEO structures** and multi-employer welfare arrangements (MEWA). * Can translate dense statutes (like anti-rebating or market conduct rules) into actionable product requirements for engineers. * Enjoy operating in "gray areas" where regulatory precedent is still evolving. * Thrive in a cross-functional leadership role, acting as the bridge between Legal, Product, and Ops.
