Description

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. Learn more about our Total Rewards philosophy. About the role As the Product Marketing Manager for Gusto’s HR Experiences, you will shape the narrative, positioning, and go-to-market strategy for Gusto’s HR apps and services (including hiring, performance management, compliance and our fractional HR expert service). This is a highly strategic role for a PMM who thrives at the intersection of customer insight → product strategy → PLG growth execution, and who is energized by experimenting, iterating, and helping accelerate one of Gusto’s earlier but most promising strategic bets. You will partner closely with Product to define category narratives, validate early customer needs, and influence the roadmap with data and insight. You will also lead the GTM strategy across self-serve, in-product, and sales-assisted channels, ensuring Gusto’s HR suite drives meaningful customer engagement, adoption, and long-term retention on the platform. We’re looking for a full-stack PMM who is fluent in product-led growth, strong in GTM experimentation, and excited to architect both the strategy and the execution required to grow a multi-product suite.

Bias toward action, creativity, and cross-functional collaboration, thriving within highly interdependent teams (Product, Data, Growth, CX, Sales, and others) Fluency with AI-powered marketing and analytics tools and processes Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $153,000 - $180,000/yr in Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta, and Las Vegas, and $180,000 - $210,000/yr for San Francisco & New York. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above. #LI-HYBRID Gusto has physical office spaces in Denver, San Francisco, and New York City. Employees who are based in those locations will be expected to work from the office on designated days approximately 2-3 days per week (or more depending on role). The same office expectations apply to all Symmetry roles, Gusto's subsidiary, whose physical office is in Scottsdale. Note: The San Francisco office expectations encompass both the San Francisco and San Jose metro areas. When approved to work from a location other than a Gusto office, a secure, reliable, and consistent internet connection is required. This includes non-office days for hybrid employees.
