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 a Senior People Partner (R&D), you will design and lead the execution of impactful people strategies for a designated organization or subset of teams within Gusto. You will serve as a trusted strategic advisor to directors and senior leadership, proactively identifying organizational risks and opportunities while championing initiatives that strengthen our culture during periods of significant growth. As a strategic partner, you'll closely collaborate with specialized People functions (Invite, Talent Development, Compensation, ER, and Benefits) to develop integrated solutions that address complex business challenges. You'll drive cross-functional alignment, ensuring people initiatives are cohesive and support broader organizational objectives. With minimal guidance, you'll develop innovative approaches to talent management that enhance both team performance and employee experience. In this role, you will excel in dynamic and challenging environments, applying your passion for developing and refining processes and practices while establishing best practices that elevate the entire People organization. You will also champion the adoption of AI-driven solutions to enhance people strategies, demonstrating a proactive approach to leveraging technology for efficiency and intuitive workflows.
About the Team:

Our cash compensation amount for this role is between $154,045 - $189,989/year in Denver, between $181,275 - $223,573/year for New York/San Francisco, and between $176,000 - $218,000/year for Seattle. 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. 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.
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.
