Responsibilities

  • 01Build trusted partnerships with Product Management and Product Design leaders - understanding what's happening in their teams, surfacing friction early, and navigating performance management, promotions, leveling, and employee relations matters with good judgment
  • 02Synthesize People data - engagement survey, performance cycles, attrition signals, headcount trends - into clear, actionable reads for Product and Design leaders before they have to ask
  • 03Support and operationalize core talent programs including performance cycles, calibration discussions, promotion processes, and manager enablement
  • 04Reinforce high performance standards, accountability, and clarity around expectations, feedback, and growth across Product Management and Product Design
  • 05Serve as the liaison between Product & Design and Gusto's broader People team (Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, L&D, People Ops), translating company-wide programs into what they mean for product and design orgs - and surfacing that context back to the center
  • 06When org changes are decided, own end-to-end execution - transition planning, communication sequencing, Workday updates, leader enablement, and follow-through until nothing is left unresolved

Requirements

  • 0110+ years of HRBP or People Partner experience, with meaningful time supporting Product Management, Product Design, or similar cross-functional product organizations in a high-growth tech company
  • 02Track record of executing complex People initiatives end-to-end - org changes, performance cycles, talent calibrations - owning the process and outcome, not just the advisory role
  • 03High-Ownership Executor: Blends high-trust business partnership with hands-on execution - earns credibility through follow-through, not decks, and owns the details, dependencies, and timeline without being pushed
  • 04Program Partner and COE Integrator: Acts as the connective tissue between Product Management, Product Design, and the wider People team, staying accountable for outcomes while pulling in the right COE capability - and builds those relationships proactively
  • 05Builder & AI-Native: Builds lightweight, scalable People processes and reaches for AI to do it, without waiting for a perfect framework. Knows when to iterate on what AI gives them and when to keep the human in the loop
  • 06High Judgment, Low Bureaucracy: Applies People principles without creating unnecessary process - assesses risk and nuance quickly, and knows when a situation needs a scalable solution versus a good answer now
  • 07Comfortable Navigating Ambiguity and Driving Transformation: Operates effectively without perfect information, brings structure to complexity, and leads through change - ideally at Gusto-scale or larger
  • 08Comfortable in the Data: Willing to dig into survey results, performance or attrition cuts, or comp tools - bringing a clear read to a leader conversation rather than a referral
