Learn more about GustoPro
About The Role
As a Partner Account Executive for GustoPro, you will play a critical role in expanding Gusto's footprint within the accounting market by recruiting new accounting firm partners, enabling them to succeed on the platform, and driving them to a healthy, self-sufficient state before transitioning them to an Account Manager.
Working directly with our Head of Sales and Head of GustoPro Sales, you will shape our new partner sales motion while owning the full arc of partner activation — from first conversation to a successful handoff. The benchmark that tells us activation is working: 10 net new clients added and the firm's 30-day enablement plan complete.
You'll engage with C-level executives and senior payroll specialists at accounting firms, with a focus on large regional and national players. You'll act as a consultant, understanding their unique needs and demonstrating how GustoPro can boost efficiency and help them realize more value for their clients while delivering upside for the firm.
The Partner Onboarding Agreement — a 30-day enablement contract signed at close — is your operating document once a firm is in. It defines milestones, role responsibilities across the firm, and the incentive structure that keeps both sides accountable through activation.
We're looking for a true "builder" — someone who's excited to wear multiple hats, design systems and processes, and run experiments. Comfort with a dynamic environment and the ability to pivot when needed is essential.
Here's what you'll do day-to-day
- Evangelize the GustoPro solution to prospective accounting firms to grow our market share and meet and exceed monthly/quarterly sales targets.
- Collaborate closely with Sales Leaders to build out and refine our new partner sales process, with a focus on accelerating sales cycles (target 60–90 days) and maximizing close rates.
- Conduct compelling and persuasive product demos that showcase the value of GustoPro using data and insights, tailored to resonate with accounting firm executives.
- Negotiate and execute the Partner Onboarding Agreement, aligning on a 30-day enablement plan and client pipeline targets from day one.
- Serve as the primary Gusto contact during the 30-day enablement period — keeping the Champion certification track, Practice Member Academy completion, and Practice Lead go-to-market readiness all on schedule.
- Hold the firm's Strategic Lead accountable to Champion designation and kickoff commitments in Week 1; track certification milestones and coordinate with the partner success team to unlock incentives on time.
- Support Practice Leads in running positioning and discovery workshops and building a migration candidate pipeline across their book of business.
- Drive the partner to 10 net new client adds within 90 days of signing — the activation benchmark — by leading regular status calls, removing blockers, and coordinating migration scheduling across practice areas.
- Coordinate co-marketing activation (co-branded materials, joint email campaigns) once the 10-client milestone unlocks co-op marketing funds, and ensure cross-sell products (HI, 401k, WC, R&D TC) are introduced as adoption deepens.
- Prepare a structured handoff brief for the receiving Account Manager — including certified contacts, migration status, QBR baseline, revenue and usage snapshot, and flagged growth opportunities — and facilitate a warm introduction.
- Navigate and update internal and external stakeholders, including C-suite executives at Gusto, partners, and cross-functional teams throughout the activation window.
- Leverage AI tools and technologies to enhance sales workflows, streamline partner communications, and derive actionable insights from data to drive more effective prospecting, pipeline management, and partner engagement.
- Travel as needed to partner offices for onsite meetings, as well as to industry events and conferences to represent Gusto and strengthen partner relationships.
Here's what we're looking for
- 6+ years total work experience in sales, account management, or customer success, with a strong focus on enterprise clients.
- 3+ years of experience selling B2B SaaS products or managing partner relationships, ideally to accounting firms or related businesses.
- A consistent track record of exceeding sales quotas and building long-term client relationships, including negotiating complex six-figure contracts.
- Experience and comfort working quick sales cycles (60–90 days average).
- Deep understanding of the accounting firm landscape, including their business models, challenges, and technology needs — particularly the CAS/advisory and payroll practices.
- Strong ability to articulate contractual, technical, and financial value points to partners, internal senior leaders, and executive leaders.
- Equally comfortable in a closing motion and a post-close enablement and coordination role — you see getting a firm to 10 clients as part of the sale, not separate from it.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities — you're a strategic thinker who can identify risk and opportunity across a portfolio.
- Ability to quickly learn our product so you are credible with prospects and partners alike.
- Comfort and proficiency with AI-powered tools and technologies, with a willingness to adopt and integrate AI into daily sales and partner management workflows to improve efficiency and outcomes.
- Experience with CRM and sales software (e.g., Salesforce, ZoomInfo, Tableau).

Head of PEO Sales

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.

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:
Gusto is searching for a builder. Not a manager of an existing PEO sales team — a founder-minded sales leader who will design the motion, write the playbook, hire the team, and carry a personal book of business in the early months. This is a 0→1 opportunity to establish Gusto's PEO sales org from the ground up, and we're looking for someone who is energized by that challenge.
You will drive new PEO revenue by selling Gusto's co-employment solution to both prospects and our existing base of 400,000+ customers — Gusto's single biggest competitive advantage over legacy PEOs. The pace is fast, the market opportunity is real, and we're looking for someone who will bring experience, creativity, and a genuine passion for building to the table every single day. You align with our company values and have a knack for building for the long haul. If you're excited to roll up your sleeves, lead by example, and architect something from scratch, let's talk.
About the Team:
You will be the founding leader of Gusto's PEO sales function. In the first 6–12 months, you'll operate as a true player-coach — personally closing deals while simultaneously building the team, tooling, and infrastructure around you. You'll define the ideal customer profile, build out the sales stages and pipeline architecture in Salesforce, and establish the channel strategy (including broker and accountant referral partnerships) that will drive scalable new business over time.
This team will serve as Subject Matter Experts on PEO, guiding prospects through complex buying decisions and partnering closely with HR, benefits, and payroll counterparts to deliver a seamless customer experience. Your biggest unfair advantage: Gusto's existing install base. Like the best scaled PEOs, a meaningful share of your pipeline will come from converting existing payroll customers — and you'll be the one to design and build that on-ramp.
Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:
- Sell and build simultaneously. For the first 6–12 months, carry a personal book of business while building the team and infrastructure around you. This is a player-coach role that requires someone comfortable operating at both levels.
- Design the sales motion from scratch. Define sales stages, lead routing, funnel metrics, and pipeline architecture in Salesforce. This org doesn't have a pre-built RevOps foundation — you'll build it.
- Own the full talent lifecycle. Partner closely with Recruiting to define hiring profiles, run interviews, and select top PEO sales talent. Onboard new hires for fast ramp and continuously assess team capacity to stay ahead of headcount needs.
- Build and leverage the channel ecosystem. Develop a point of view on broker, GA, and accountant referral channels. Even if you don't own these relationships day one, you'll be expected to shape the strategy and lay the groundwork for a scalable partner channel.
- Convert the install base. Develop the playbook for converting Gusto's existing 500K+ payroll customers to PEO. Understand the unique motion, objections, and value proposition for in-base selling vs. cold-start prospecting.
- Operate with selling season fluency. Understand and plan around PEO's concentrated selling window (Sept–Dec, with ~50–60% of new business landing Jan 1). Build team capacity, pipeline targets, and go-to-market rhythms accordingly.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Product leadership to identify market opportunities, drive pipeline, and help shape PEO product strategy.
- Use data to drive decisions — from advisor skill development to team-level initiatives. Track, measure, and report on sales effectiveness; adjust programs as needed.
- Lead with AI fluency. As a people leader at Gusto, you're expected to actively model and drive AI adoption across your team — not just as a user, but as a champion. This means leveraging AI tools to surface pipeline insights, accelerate coaching, improve forecast accuracy, and identify at-risk deals earlier. You'll help your team integrate AI into daily workflows (outreach, call prep, follow-up), experiment with new tooling, and share learnings across the broader sales org. We expect our leaders to stay ahead of the curve and bring a point of view on how AI can make the team meaningfully better.
- Build a culture of excellence. Cultivate each individual's skill set and guide career pathing as they grow within the organization. Ensure the team maintains deep knowledge of PEO compliance, co-employment regulations, and applicable state and federal employment law requirements.
Here’s what we're looking for:
- PEO Expertise: 5+ years of experience in PEO sales, with direct experience standing up a PEO sales org or building a sales team 0→1 in a high-growth environment. We're prioritizing builder profiles over tenure in a mature org.
- Player-Coach Experience: Proven ability to carry personal quota while simultaneously building team, process, and infrastructure. This is not a pure management role in the early stages.
- Selling Season Fluency: Direct experience operating within PEO's Jan 1 selling cycle — Sept–Dec pipeline build, renewal dynamics, and capacity planning. This is a key screen for PEO-specific operating experience vs. generic HCM.
- Install Base Conversion: Experience developing or executing strategies to convert an existing customer base to a higher-tier or adjacent product. Familiarity with in-base PEO conversion motions is a strong plus.
- Channel Strategy: Understanding of broker, GA, and accountant referral channels in the PEO or benefits space. Ability to develop a POV and lay groundwork for scalable partner-sourced pipeline.
- RevOps & Pipeline Architecture: Experience building or significantly contributing to Salesforce pipeline design — sales stages, lead routing, funnel reporting — from an early-stage starting point.
- Management Experience: 5+ years of people management in a sales organization, including direct involvement in recruiting and hiring.
- Results-Oriented: Consistent track record of establishing and exceeding measurable goals.
- Sales Acumen: Strong working knowledge of inbound and outbound sales methodologies in SMB SaaS or HCM/PEO environments.
- Collaboration: Ability to work effectively across Sales, HR, Benefits, and Product teams; excellent interpersonal skills.
- AI Leadership: Demonstrated ability to evaluate, adopt, and champion AI and automation tools in a sales environment. Comfortable going beyond personal usage — setting expectations, building habits, and holding the team accountable to AI-enabled ways of working.
- Technical Proficiency: Salesforce.com (SFDC) experience required, including pipeline and funnel design; familiarity with HCM platforms and benefits administration tools preferred.
Our target on-target earnings (OTE) compensation for this role is $270,000/yr to $280,000/yr in Denver & most remote locations, and $295,000/yr to $318,000/yr for San Francisco, & New York. This OTE is structured with a target 60% base pay and 40% commission pay with an uncapped commission structure. Final offer amounts and the exact base/commission split 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.

The Opportunity
Gusto Embedded Payroll (GEP) is one of Gusto's highest-growth bets — a platform business that enables software companies to offer Gusto-powered payroll directly within their own products. We're looking for a Head of Partner Growth to lead the team responsible for making our embedded partners successful: driving go-to-market execution, growing partner revenue, and building the operational and strategic frameworks that will scale this business toward $100M+.
This is a player-coach leadership role. You'll manage a cross-functional team spanning Partner Success Management (PSM) and Partner enablement— while also staying deeply hands-on with our most strategic partner relationships. You'll own the partner growth playbook end-to-end: from GTM planning and launch sequencing through ongoing optimization, escalation management, and executive relationship development.
Gusto's partnerships organization focuses on evaluating and executing strategic partnerships in new categories. Gusto Embedded Payroll allows us to bring our people platform to thousands more businesses than those we serve directly and will play a key role in Gusto's growth.
What It's Like to Work in This Role
Lead & Develop
- Build, lead, and develop a high-performing team of Partner Success Managers and Partner Enablement
- Set the operational rhythm for the partner growth function — including planning cadences, escalation workflows, and performance management
- Coach team members on partner strategy, executive communication, and cross-functional navigation
- Drive Enablement with the ideation, creation, and execution of enablement frameworks and materials.
- Drive AI fluency across the team — embedding AI tools and workflows into day-to-day partner operations, GTM planning, and internal knowledge management to accelerate output and decision quality
Strategize & Plan
- Own the partner growth strategy across the GEP portfolio, including partner segmentation, prioritization, and resource allocation
- Develop and maintain per-partner operating plans with clear success metrics, in collaboration with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Sales Enablement
- Build repeatable GTM playbooks — covering co-marketing motions, sales enablement, content roadmaps, and launch sequencing — tailored to each partner's distribution model and ICP
- Translate portfolio-level data (revenue, attach rates, funnel performance) into strategic narratives for leadership
Operate & Execute
- Drive success for our partners and their end customers through adoption, activation, and retention of Gusto-powered embedded products
- Own the full marketing funnel and sales motion with partners — from top-of-funnel demand generation through conversion, onboarding, and expansion
- Manage complex, high-stakes partner relationships directly — including contract negotiations, executive escalations, and cross-functional alignment on roadmap priorities
- Lead partner incident response and escalation management with structured, cross-functional workflows
Build for Scale
- Create and expand the feedback loop between partners, their end users, and Gusto's internal product, marketing, engineering, and operations teams
- Design frameworks, templates, and processes that enable the team to manage a growing partner portfolio without linear headcount growth
- Identify and implement AI-powered workflows and tools that improve team efficiency, partner reporting, and knowledge management
What We're Looking For
- 12-15 years of experience, with 8+ years in a people management role and 7+ years in partner-facing or channel-facing roles
- Partner-side perspective: Has operated on the partner or channel side of the table — understands how partners evaluate, prioritize, and activate embedded or referral relationships
- Farmer mentality: Wired to grow and deepen existing partner relationships through trust-building, strategic account planning, and proactive expansion — not just hunting new deals
- Methodical operator: Builds repeatable playbooks, escalation frameworks, and operational rhythms rather than relying on one-off heroics. Strong systems thinker
- GTM playbook experience: Hands-on experience building go-to-market plans from scratch — including co-marketing, keyword strategies, content roadmaps, and launch sequencing
- Full-funnel fluency: Understands the complete marketing and sales journey from demand gen through conversion, activation, and retention. Can diagnose where a partner motion is leaking value and prescribe the right intervention
- AI fluency: Actively uses AI tools (e.g., LLMs, automation platforms) to accelerate workflows, improve decision quality, and build team capability. Comfortable leading an AI adoption agenda within a team
- Executive communicator: Strong ghostwriter and strategic communicator who can represent the partnership function credibly with C-suite stakeholders — both internally and at partner organizations
- Strong sense of ownership and resilience: Thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative, and drives outcomes without waiting for permission
- Exceptional written and verbal communication: Can shift register fluently between partner-facing emails, internal Slack, leadership documents, and board-level narratives
Strong Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with embedded or platform business models (APIs, developer tools, B2B2B)
- Knowledge of payroll, HR tech, or fintech software ecosystems
- Experience managing partner P&Ls, cost-to-manage models, or portfolio-level financial analysis
- "Gets" the building-mode opportunity — has scaled a partner function from early stage, not just inherited a mature program
Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at:
$230,215 - $270,500 in San Francisco, CA; New York, NY
$195,745 - $230,000 in Denver, CO; Phoenix, AZ; Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL; Las Vegas, NV

The Sales Enablement team sits within our Revenue Operations organization, the linchpin of our world-class sales experience. Learning Partners play a critical role in executing enablement strategies to drive revenue growth and feature adoption across sales. This role owns the learning lifecycle for business insurance products (e.g., Workers’ Comp, BOP, Commercial Auto, E&O) and PEO sales and partners closely with leaders on onboarding, continuous education, and high-performance skill development.

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:
The Franchise Account Executive role is an opportunity to help build and scale one of Gusto's newest growth channels. Franchise represents a massive and largely untapped market, and this team is focused on activating franchise owners across established partner networks and high-potential industries. As a Franchise AE, you'll operate in a true outbound motion — prospecting into multi-unit operators, building relationships with influential owners, and closing new business that can scale across locations.
You'll also help shape the playbook for how Gusto sells into franchise ecosystems as we grow this program into a durable revenue engine for the company.
You'll partner closely with our Franchise Partner Manager (who develops relationships with franchisors) and a dedicated BDR (focused on high-volume activations). Your role is to lead strategic pursuits, unlock influential operators, and build the repeatable sales motion for selling into franchise ecosystems.
Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:
- Own new franchise revenue generation. Prospect into franchise ownership groups within Gusto’s partner networks and target industries, building pipeline through outbound outreach and relationship development with multi-unit operators and influential franchise owners.
- Execute and refine the franchise sales playbook. Leverage the existing franchise sales motion to drive consistent pipeline and deals, while providing feedback and insights that help improve messaging, targeting, and overall execution as the program scales.
- Run the full sales cycle. Manage deals from prospecting through close, partnering with BDRs who support high-volume outreach while focusing your time on larger ownership groups and strategic franchise opportunities.
- Develop relationships with influential franchise operators. Engage multi-unit owners, directors of operations, and regional leaders to understand operational needs and position Gusto as a scalable payroll and workforce platform across multiple locations.
- Partner cross-functionally to drive franchise success. Collaborate with the Franchise Partner Manager, Sales Ops, and Marketing to activate franchise networks, support partner initiatives, and identify opportunities to expand within existing franchise relationships.
- Build referenceable wins within franchise networks. Secure early customer success stories and multi-location operators that can serve as proof points and accelerate adoption across additional franchisees.
- Drive consistent outbound pipeline generation. Maintain a disciplined outbound motion across named franchise accounts and industry segments, using a mix of calls, emails, LinkedIn outreach, and events to create new opportunities.
- Represent Gusto in franchise communities. Attend franchise conferences, regional events, and industry gatherings to build relationships, generate pipeline, and strengthen Gusto’s presence in the franchise ecosystem.
- Achieve and exceed revenue targets. Consistently deliver against quarterly targets for MRR and new customer adds while contributing insights that help scale the franchise program over time.
- 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.
Here’s what we're looking for:
- 3+ years of quota-carrying B2B SaaS AE experience, ideally with outbound new business in SMB, mid-market, or franchise/multi-unit contexts.
- Proven track record as a hunter — generating your own pipeline, landing new logos, and expanding into complex accounts.
- Payroll sales experience is a strong plus.
- Experience navigating multi-unit and franchise structures (franchisors, franchisees, regional/holding companies) is a strong plus.
- Proven, day-to-day experience integrating AI into how you work - across writing, research, prep, and summarization as a core part of your workflow, with a track record of giving clear, useful feedback that helps improve your tools and processes.
- Strong discovery and storytelling skills — able to uncover compliance, payroll, and onboarding pain points and tie them to ROI.
- Comfortable partnering with BDRs: coaching, collaborating on sequences, and maximizing top-of-funnel conversion.
- Entrepreneurial mindset — thrives in building new motions, testing playbooks, and iterating quickly.
- Willingness to travel 25–35% of the time to conferences and in-market opportunities.
The on-target earnings (OTE) for this role range from $134,000/yr to $155,000/yr in Denver, Atlanta, Chicago & Las Vegas, and $126,000/yr to $144,000/yr in Phoenix. This OTE is structured with a target 60% base pay and 40% commission pay with an uncapped commission structure. 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.

Mid-Level Retirement Account Executive (401k Sales)
As a Mid-Level Retirement Account Executive at Gusto, you will support small and mid-sized businesses by helping them adopt, expand, and convert 401(k) and retirement plans. In this role, you’ll act as a consultative retirement advisor, engaging customers through a blend of inbound opportunities and targeted outbound outreach into high-propensity accounts within Gusto’s existing customer base. You’ll lead structured, compliant sales conversations, guide customers through decision steps, and move opportunities toward closure using defined workflows and AI-enabled tools.
This role focuses on high-volume SMB deal cycles, while also supporting slightly more complex mid-sized customers that require deeper discovery and coordination. You’ll guide business owners through retirement decisions by educating them on plan options, compliance basics, tax advantages, and employee benefits—driving meaningful ARR growth while building strong sales fundamentals.

- Leverage AI-powered tools to prioritize opportunities, personalize follow-ups, and reduce administrative work
Consultative Retirement Engagement
- Conduct daily consultative retirement conversations to understand customer goals related to hiring, retention, tax strategy, and compliance
- Educate customers on 401(k) basics, plan design options, pricing, employer match considerations, and conversion timelines
- Clearly articulate the value of Gusto’s retirement solution as a simple, modern alternative to legacy providers
Competitive Plan Migration & Switcher Management
- Partner with customers who maintain existing 401(k) plans with external providers and are seeking to migrate to Gusto’s Retirement platform
- Lead discovery to collect and review existing plan documentation, contracts, and service agreements, ensuring a clear understanding of plan structure, pricing, and fiduciary obligations
- Collaborate closely with Gusto’s Legal, Compliance, and Retirement Operations teams to design a compliant switcher strategy that meets regulatory requirements and platform capabilities
- Guide customers through the end-to-end plan switcher process, setting clear expectations, mitigating risk, and ensuring a seamless transition to Gusto’s retirement offering
Pipeline Management & Sales Execution
- Maintain an organized retirement sales pipeline in Salesforce, including accurate call notes, opportunity updates, and follow-up tasks
- Support forecasting accuracy by keeping pipeline stages and close dates up to date
- Partner cross-functionally with Retirement Product, Marketing, Operations, and Compliance to ensure smooth deal handoff and onboarding
Market Insight & Customer Feedback
- Capture complex customer questions, objections, and competitive insights from daily conversations
- Share feedback with leadership and cross-functional partners to help refine messaging, sales plays, and enablement
Quota Ownership & Performance Accountability
- Own and work toward achieving a monthly ARR quota driven by new 401(k) sales, plan switchers, and customer expansion
- Operate with consistency and urgency in a high-activity, high-expectation sales environment
Continuous Improvement & Team Contribution
- Participate in daily team huddles and 1:1s to review priorities, pipeline, and skill development areas
- Actively seek coaching and apply feedback to improve discovery, objection handling, and close rates
- Contribute to team success by sharing learnings, talk tracks, and wins
Here’s What We’re Looking For
- 2-4 years of quota-carrying sales experience as an Account Executive, Account Manager, or similar role
- Prior experience with outbound prospecting, including calls and email-based outreach
- Experience in SaaS, benefits, fintech, or financial services preferred
- Interest in or exposure to 401(k), retirement, or benefits sales is a plus
- Familiarity with Salesforce CRM and sales engagement tools
- Strong communication, organization, and time-management skills
- Learner's mindset with a deep commitment to continued growth and development
