About the Team :

As part of this team, you will drive key Go-To-Market operations and strategy support for Gusto Embedded Payroll (GEP). You’ll be a trusted thought partner, leading key initiatives such as bi-weekly forecast reviews, deal desk, capacity planning and resource allocation, and long-range planning.

You’ll gain experience building operations in an emerging business unit and working cross-functionally to drive alignment to move the business forward.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day :

Enterprise Sales Deal Desk. Responsible for structuring GEP’s enterprise deals, owning economic terms, and be a key thought partner to the Sales team for strategic positioning with prospect conversations.

Work cross-functionally to spearhead and ensure internal alignment on all financial and operational terms.

• Planning & Forecasting. Support GEP through revenue, cost, headcount planning & forecasting. Solutions oriented mindset is important as you partner with key members of the organization to maximize performance within the existing constraints.

This includes leading forecast reviews, evaluating marketing efficiency and strategizing growth initiatives, defining a framework for account prioritization, and revamping pricing and packaging.

Lead key projects, focusing on GTM strategy, to help drive large-scale impact and transform our business processes to set up for the next phase of growth with GEP.

Execution. A core philosophy of the FBOS team is that we are not here to merely forecast, try to predict an indeterminate future we are here to help make it happen.

We roll up our sleeves as partners and pitch in with operations, which is a core tenet of this role.

Precision. You have sharp attention to detail with a natural feel for numbers and data, and have a high degree of accuracy in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment.

You are able to tend to the blades of grass, while not losing sight of the broader landscape.

Discipline & Attitude. You have impressive time management skills and ability to juggle multiple projects / tasks with multiple stakeholders while hitting deadlines on time sensitive projects.

You are proactive and have a positive attitude with a can-do, service-oriented mentality.

Our cash compensation amount for this role is $126,000 / yr to $156,000 / yr in Denver & most major metro locations, and $153,000 / yr to $189,000 / yr for San Francisco & New York.
