About The Role

As a Strategic Enterprise Account Executive for Gusto Embedded Payroll, your work will be foundational to Gusto’s transition from an application company to a platform provider. Your work will connect people, both Gusties with our partners and partner executives with each other, in ways that ensure partners can successfully understand, build, and own a payroll product. You will help drive innovation within Gusto and across a $10b+ industry that has seen very little change for years.

Your primary responsibility will be to engage with executive teams within leading technology companies to pitch Gusto’s embedded payroll offering. The ideal candidate will have experience in enterprise sales, a passion for consulting leadership teams in making complex product/business decisions. Gusto Embedded Payroll is the newest major offering from Gusto and we operate like a startup—candidates who prefer a rapid pace of change and a nascent, fast moving market landscape will feel at home.
