Senior Product Manager, Document Studio

<div class="content-intro"><p style="line-height: 1.2;">&nbsp;</p> <hr> <p><strong>About Gusto</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p>&nbsp;<br>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.

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>By the Numbers:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Named <a href="https://gusto.com/about/awards-recognition">#1 best software for small business </a>of 2024 by G2</li> <li>2,700+ employees in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Turkiye and growing&nbsp;</li> <li>Over $500M in annual revenue&nbsp;</li> <li>The SMB market is large (and growing!) with huge opportunities for Gusto to make an incredible impact for SMBs&nbsp;</li> <ul> <li>There are 6.2M employers in the US, 98% have fewer than 100 employees ^(1)&nbsp;</li> <li>550,000 new businesses are created each year in the US^(1)&nbsp;</li> </ul> </ul> <p><strong>What Product Management is like at Gusto:</strong></p> <ul> <li>We’re looking for high-autonomy, entrepreneurial Product Managers to build high-impact solutions for small businesses and their employees. We believe in high-ownership Product Managers who operate like business owners — owning an entire roadmap end to end and shipping product all the way from strategy through to the nitty-gritty details (some describe this kind of role as a “GM” type role).</li> <li>Our Product team is lean, which means you’ll have a high degree of impact and ownership. We believe in smaller, empowered teams that move quickly with less overhead. You’ll move fast by pairing sharp product judgment with fluency in AI tools — automating what slows teams down and amplifying what makes them creative and high-performing.&nbsp;</li> <li>We’re boundaryless builders. Lines between roles are intentionally blurred, and our PMs do whatever it takes to deliver outcomes. You’ll prototype, automate, design, and ship — using AI as your co-builder to turn problems into durable solutions that deliver customer value with urgency and care.</li> <li>We’re here to serve small and medium businesses. Gusto has a strong mission-driven culture, and we care deeply about lifting up these business owners — building technology for an AI-first world that gives them the superpowers to run and grow their businesses with confidence.</li> <li>We’re comfortable with change. Our environment moves fast, and PMs here thrive in ambiguity — blending curiosity, experimentation, and AI-native craft to shape how products (and work itself) are built at Gusto.</li> </ul> <p><strong>About the Team</strong></p> <p>We have a clear vision for how AI-powered tools will transform HR for small businesses, and we're looking for a Senior Product Manager to make it real: sharpen priorities, own outcomes, and partner deeply with engineering and design to ship products that matter.</p> <p>Document Studio is one of our most ambitious product bets: an experience that helps small business owners navigate the hard HR decisions, a new hire, a compensation change, a difficult termination, and generates the right documentation, personalized to their situation, compliant with their state, reflecting how they want their culture and values to come through, backed by rules they can trust.</p> <p>The foundation is in early stages: a Handbook product is in beta, and the internal platform is an MVP. Our ambition is considerably bigger than what's been built. The customer experience is still evolving: what it looks and feels like to be guided through a termination, a comp change, or a new hire without needing to be an HR expert. T
