About the Role:

As a staff product designer on Payroll Services, you will 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 area’s cross-functional team, you’ll 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.

Payroll is the beating heart of Gusto’s 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.

About the Team:

Product Design at Gusto is made up of over 60 creative, collaborative people who care deeply about our mission to empower small businesses and their employees. We’re a cross-functional bunch focused on Design, Research, Writing, Ops and Front-end Development who are always looking for opportunities to build understanding and empathy for the people who use Gusto. We don’t care a whole lot about swim lanes and we work closely with our partners in Product, Engineering, Data, and Marketing to design, build and ship experiences that make a difference. We are passionate advocates for thoughtful, crafted, and inclusive experiences and we believe great design can make hard things possible, even delightful. Read more about Design at Gusto.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners to define a long-term UX vision for your product area and how it fits into Gusto’s broader vision.

  • 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 customers’ 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 Gusto’s product design community by sharing your skills and experience.

  • Champion our design system and platform standards, and help evolve them through your team’s work.

Here’s what we're looking for:

  • 8+ years' Product Design experience

  • Breadth of impact: This is a very senior IC design role on a strategic and new team within Gusto. You should have demonstrated experience leading design direction across multiple teams, and influencing design/product across multiple product areas.

  • Comfortable with complexity: You’ve led the design of approachable, guided customer experiences in complex domains. Ideally you’ve 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 you’ve 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. You’ll work directly with your engineering partners to improve the systems that power our customer experiences. You should be able to demonstrate how you’ve 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 you’ve stayed involved with customer-facing work as a leader, and how you’ve supported your direct reports through complex projects.

  • High quality bar: This role will be a tireless advocate for our customers’ experience with Gusto. You should be able to demonstrate how you’ve maintained design quality and accessibility across screen sizes, while shipping iteratively to deliver customer value early and often.

At Gusto, we strive to provide rewards that empower employees to achieve their financial and personal goals. We offer competitive compensation packages with a strong emphasis on equity based compensation (ownership in Gusto). To learn more about Gusto’s compensation philosophy and benefits offerings please view our Total Rewards Approach page.

Our cash compensation range for this role is $174,000/yr to $216,000/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.
