Product Counsel - PEO/Employment Law at Gusto

This role is designed for a seasoned attorney with at least 7 years of experience who sits at the intersection of employment law and product development. The ideal candidate has a deep background in litigation and in-house counseling, specifically within the tech sector.

You’ll be a foundational member of a strategic new business line, providing high-visibility counsel on product design and go-to-market readiness. This is a hybrid role requiring 2-3 days per week in the Denver, San Francisco, or New York offices. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have a JD and a proven track record of handling complex employment law and co-employment issues. * Enjoy "building" and want to advise on the legal frameworks of new tech products from the ground up. * Are comfortable using AI tools to streamline legal research and content creation. * Thrive in a collaborative environment where you balance risk management with business growth.
