Principal Product Manager, Payments at Gusto

**Who this is for** This role is designed for a seasoned Product Manager with at least 8 years of experience, specifically within the fintech or payments domain. You should be a "systems thinker" who is comfortable at the intersection of complex engineering and strict financial compliance. The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of GAAP, ledger systems, and automated reconciliation, and is likely someone who has navigated the regulatory hurdles of a high-growth financial platform. **Key highlights** The role offers a high degree of autonomy, akin to a "General Manager" position, with ownership over the foundational payment rails that move hundreds of billions of dollars. Compensation is highly competitive, scaling up to $263,000 depending on location and experience. While fully remote options exist, there is a hybrid preference (2-3 days in office) for those near major hubs like Denver, NYC, or San Francisco. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a strong technical background in SQL and experience building scalable, auditable financial systems. * Possess deep knowledge of compliance frameworks like SOX or ITGC. * Are comfortable translating dense accounting requirements into clear product roadmaps for engineering teams. * Hold a CPA or CMA certification (this is a major "bonus" point for this position).
