About the Role:
Gusto's Benefits Sales team is launching a new Business Insurance (BI) vertical, a rapidly growing segment poised to scale quickly. We are looking for a systems-minded, AI-curious Senior Sales Operations Analyst to be the primary Sales Operations thought partner for this new vertical. Your role will involve designing, implementing, and optimizing processes, and creating reports to track performance.
This is your opportunity to help build the foundation of a rapidly growing and impactful area within Gusto’s business as a Senior Sales Operations Analyst supporting the Benefits Sales team. You will analyze data from various systems and develop AI-driven solutions to boost productivity for over 80 sales representatives across two existing segments, while also influencing the future of the new Business Intelligence (BI) team.
About the Team:
The Revenue Operations team supporting the Benefits Sales organization will collaborate closely with sales leadership to empower a fast-paced sales team that drives one of Gusto's key growth areas. The Benefits Sales team consists of two segments: Health Insurance and the newly established Business Insurance team.
Our work scope includes quotas, pipeline health, forecasting, process design, data integrity, and go-to-market strategy, with an increasing emphasis on AI-driven optimization. Our team values curiosity, communication, and a commitment to assist over 80 representatives in operating efficiently and confidently.
Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:
Process & Systems Optimization
Design and implement the BI Sales engine: Lead the creation and deployment of AI-driven workflows that automate manual processes and boost sales productivity.
Create a scalable system for tracking quotas, assigning territories, and modeling commissions, capable of expanding from 2 representatives to 60 within a year.
Analytics & Insights
Build and automate dashboards in Salesforce to monitor lead conversion, analyze funnel performance, sales activity, identify trends, and opportunities for AI use cases.
Provide clear and actionable recommendations that link data insights to automation or process improvements.
AI & Workflow Innovation
Actively identify and prototype AI tools (such as content generation, analytics copilots, and call coaching) to eliminate manual friction in the sales process.
Examine existing workflows and rep performance to pinpoint bottlenecks and offer actionable recommendations that link data insights to automation and process enhancements.
Cross-Functional Partnership
Act as a trusted advisor to the Head of Sales, Enablement, Finance, Analytics, and BizTech to facilitate progress, guide change management, and drive adoption.
Identify and address risks, uncertainties, and opportunities to enhance how AI and automation drive business outcomes.
Facilitate go-to-market readiness for new processes, AI workflows, and product updates by creating documentation and operational requirements.
Here’s what we're looking for:
Experience: 5+ years in Sales Ops, RevOps, or a similar analytical GTM role, ideally in a fast-paced SaaS or Fintech environment.
Salesforce Expert: High proficiency in Salesforce; you can identify data issues, audit pipelines, and build reports that leaders actually use.
Proficient in AI and Automation: Skilled at evaluating AI tools and automation solutions to identify opportunities for improving productivity. Experienced in prototyping simple workflows and incorporating AI into operational processes (no engineer-level skills required).
Builder’s Mindset: You excel in environments where you build the plane while flying it, and you enjoy transforming complex problems into repeatable playbooks.
Analytical Proficiency: Proficient in creating reports and dashboards using Salesforce, Tableau, Looker, Excel, and Google Sheets.
Curious & Adaptable: A proactive learner who looks for the best solution to a problem, whether that involves an AI prototype or a simple process change.
A first-principles problem solver capable of breaking down ambiguous issues, testing hypotheses, and developing structured solutions.
Excellent Communication: Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify complex information for stakeholders, providing written and verbal updates that align senior leadership with stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in payroll, HR tech, or SMB SaaS go-to-market motions.
Experience designing or implementing automations, AI workflows, or similar tooling.
Track record of building strong cross-functional relationships across Sales, BizTech, and Analytics.
Experience building systems to support new sales motions.
Comfort with fast iteration, experimentation, and testing in live sales environments.
Our cash compensation amount for this role is $104,490 to $128,000 for Denver, Atlanta & Las Vegas. $126,530 to $155,000 for San Francisco & New York. $97,960 to $120,000 for Phoenix.
