Senior Manager, Data Science – Payments & Treasury at Gusto

This role is designed for a seasoned leader with over a decade of experience in Data Science, including at least four years managing teams. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in the fintech or banking space, specifically focusing on the "plumbing" of financial systems: payments, treasury, and liquidity management. You should be comfortable moving between high-level strategy with VPs and technical deep dives into machine learning models and experimentation frameworks. The compensation is highly competitive, scaling up to $267,000 for top-tier markets like SF or NYC, plus Gusto’s comprehensive "Total Rewards" package. While the role is remote-friendly across the US and Canada, Gostu maintains "Centers of Gravity" in several major cities. It offers a high-impact opportunity to influence the financial platform supporting over 400,000 small businesses, blending traditional analytics with modern AI/LLM applications. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a proven track record of hiring and developing senior-level data scientists. * Are an expert in payment domains like fraud, authorization rates, loss, and funds flow. * Can translate complex statistical tradeoffs into clear narratives for executive stakeholders. * Enjoy building production-ready data products rather than just static reports.
