About Gusto
At Gusto, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff—like payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR—so owners can focus on their craft and customers. With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, we’re proud to support more than 400,000 small businesses across the country, and we’re building a workplace that represents and celebrates the customers we serve.

About the Role:
At Gusto, we believe the next frontier of competitive advantage is the intelligence of the systems that power our people. As the Sr Principal PM, AI Workforce Enablement, you are the architect of the "Superhuman Agent." You won't just manage tools; you will redefine the relationship between Gusto’s workforce and technology. You are responsible for evolving our internal foundation into a proactive, agentic platform where AI handles the cognitive load, allowing our Go-to-Market (GTM) and Service teams to focus on high-value human connection. You will lead the transition of our legacy ecosystem into a future-state "exoskeleton" that empowers every employee to deliver an unparalleled, frictionless experience to our customers.
Gusto is looking for a hands-on builder to take on this leadership mantle as we rethink how people grow in an AI-native company. This role is not just about designing the systems that shape growth day-to-day, but the actual mechanics of work. You will be responsible for building new architecture and tearing down what no longer serves us. The goal is simple but hard: make growth obvious, continuous, and hard to avoid.
We’re looking for a leader who can balance strategic influence with hands-on craft—someone who can guide senior Gusto leaders through AI-native data strategy, coach data scientists on impactful problem solving, and dive in to drive forward statistically rigorous analyses when needed.
About the Team:
The Unified Service Platform (USP) product team serves as Gusto’s architectural backbone, responsible for engineering the intelligent, AI-driven ecosystem that brings GTM and Service operations into alignment. Our mission is to replace fragmented point solutions with a singular System of Intelligence—a digital exoskeleton that strips away administrative friction so our teams can focus on what matters most: our customers. Through our commitment to a #OneGusto experience, we provide the platform that ensures every internal interaction is backed by the full context of the customer journey.
We are an AI-native team building "agentic" solutions that transform how work happens. By mastering the AI-Human-AI loop, we own the delivery of a seamless, cross-channel journey across voice, chat, and email. Our goal is to ensure that our internal technical excellence creates an instant, easy and effortless experience for every business Gusto serves.

Our cash compensation amount for this role is $204,000,000/yr to $238,000/yr in Denver & most major metro locations, and $240,000/yr to $280,000/yr for San Francisco, Seattle & New York. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate location, experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.
Gusto has physical office spaces in Denver, San Francisco, and New York City.

Our customers come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for small businesses, you will find a home at Gusto.
