About the opportunity

Payroll is the beating heart of Gustoâs business. The Payroll Services team is responsible for the customer experiences and internal services that process payrolls, calculate taxes and deductions, pay and file with tax agencies, and maintain compliance on behalf of our customers.

As the Senior Product Design Manager on Payroll Services, youâll empower a team of designers to wrangle technical and regulatory complexity into guided experiences for new and experienced employers. You'll collaborate with internal teams to enhance their processes through a service design approach and improve the internal tools they use to help customers set up and maintain their tax accounts. As a member of this product areaâs cross-functional leadership team, youâll be a key partner in leading the entire product development process from setting the long-term vision to strategic planning; all the way to launching new features and iterating on existing ones.

Hereâs what youâll do day-to-day

  • Empower a small team of product designers, creating the conditions for them to do work theyâre proud of and that serves the needs of our customers and internal teams. 
  • Work with the other members of your leadership team to define a long-term UX vision for your product area and how it fits into Gustoâs broader vision.
  • Co-lead the definition of product strategy, roadmap, team OKRs, and project direction.
  • Work with cross-functional partners in UX Research, Data Science, Legal, Compliance, Payroll Ops, and Customer Support to understand customer problems and identify key opportunities for the customer and our business. 
  • Build our collective understanding of our customersâ payroll and tax compliance needs through research and data.
  • Design and ship both net-new and iterative projects that deliver consistent value to our customers.
  • Contribute to Gustoâs product design leadership community by sharing your skills and experience.
  • Champion our design system and platform standards, and help evolve them through your teamâs work.

Hereâs what we're looking for:

  • 8+ years' Product Design experience, ideally with two of those in management.
  • Breadth of impact: This role will be one of Gustoâs most senior design leaders. You should have demonstrated experience leading design direction across multiple teams, and influencing design/product across multiple product areas.
  • Comfortable with complexity: Youâve led the design of approachable, guided customer experiences in complex domains. Ideally youâve led a platform/services or enablement team.
  • Product acumen: This role will contribute directly to business and product strategy. You should be comfortable working with executive stakeholders, and be able to demonstrate how youâve shaped business decisions.
  • Technical acumen: This role will require a deep understanding of our technical systems and how those translate into customer and business outcomes. Youâll work directly with your engineering partners to improve the systems that power our customer experiences. You should be able to demonstrate how youâve built your own technical understanding, and influenced system decisions that affect customer experience.
  • Builder mindset: This role will lead a team to ship customer-facing products and services, not just plans and documents. You should be able to demonstrate how youâve stayed involved with customer-facing work as a leader, and how youâve supported your direct reports through complex projects.
  • High quality bar: This role will be a tireless advocate for our customersâ experience with Gusto. You should be able to demonstrate how youâve maintained design quality and accessibility across screen sizes, while shipping iteratively to deliver customer value early and often.

Our cash compensation range for this role is $174,000/yr to $235,000/yr in Denver & most remote locations, and $204,000/yr to $254,000/yr in San Francisco, Seattle & New York. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including candidate experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
