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.</p></div><p><strong>About the Role:</strong></p> <p>When a small business owner signs up with Gusto, they're trusting us with their team's health coverage. As a Group Fulfillment Specialist, you're the link between our customers and their health insurance carriers — partnering with Onboarding Advocates to ensure every form and detail lands accurately and on time, so coverage is active when employees need it. You'll work across carrier portals, Salesforce, and Gusto's internal systems, and lean into AI tools to work smarter. If you take pride in getting the details right, this role is for you.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>About the Team:</strong></p> <p>Group Fulfillment is the team that ensures the promise of benefits becomes reality. We sit between health insurance carriers and Gusto's customer-facing teams, shepherding new plans, renewals, and carrier switches across the finish line.</p> <p>We measure ourselves on doing it right and doing it on time — because for the customers we serve, "late" or "wrong" isn't an inconvenience, it's a missed prescription, a delayed procedure, or a stressful call to HR. We take that seriously, and we have a lot of fun doing it together.</p> <p>As an AI-native company, we don't just use technology—it’s the backbone of how we work. We expect all team members to demonstrate digital fluency and a proactive approach to leveraging AI tooling to enhance accuracy, speed, and communication.
