About Gusto
At Gusto, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff — payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR — so owners can focus on their craft and their customers. With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, we support more than 500,000 small businesses nationwide and are building a workplace that reflects the people we serve.
All full-time employees receive competitive base pay, benefits, and equity (RSUs) — because everyone who helps build Gusto should share in its success. Offer amounts are determined by role, level, and location. Learn more about our Total Rewards philosophy.
AI is a fundamental part of how work gets done at Gusto. We expect all team members to actively engage with AI tools relevant to their role and grow their fluency as the technology evolves. AI experience requirements vary by role and will be assessed during the interview process.
About the Role:
As a Partner Manager at Gusto, you will be responsible for driving the strategy and growth of a portfolio of Gusto Pro's largest and most strategic accounting firm partners. In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining and expanding current revenue and usage within these firms, as well as identifying, pitching, and facilitating growth opportunities. You should be comfortable building deep relationships at all levels of a partner organization, from staff accountants to managing partners, and adept at managing complex partner relationships and product configurations. Use AI-powered workflows as a core part of how you sell: running assigned tools daily, surfacing friction and inefficiencies as you find them, and collaborating with your team to influence what gets built or improved next. You will also work cross-functionally with senior members of Gusto’s team to strengthen the partner relationship, coordinate joint efforts, and provide input as we evolve our Gusto Pro product roadmap and processes.
