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.

The ideal candidate will have experience in enterprise sales, a passion for consulting leadership teams in making complex product/business decisions.
