Gusto is seeking a Senior Compensation Partner to build and scale compensation programs that attract, retain, and reward top talent. This role sits at the intersection of data, policy, and people strategy, operating with a systems-first, AI-aware mindset.
You will develop, implement, and communicate Gusto's compensation programs, policies, and procedures, ensuring internal equity, external competitiveness, and alignment with business strategy. Key responsibilities include leading annual compensation cycles (merit, equity refresh, benchmarking) end-to-end from data collection through communication; performing market analyses and compensation studies using survey data (Radford/Aon, Mercer, Pave) to recommend pay ranges and offer positioning; and using AI tools and automation to accelerate analysis while maintaining sound judgment around data quality.
You'll design and maintain scalable compensation workflows and tooling that automate recurring analyses, audit processes, and reporting. You'll build compensation dashboards and data visualizations giving leaders real-time insight into pay equity, market positioning, and budget utilization. You'll craft competitive offers to attract top talent and build playbooks to help recruiters and HRBPs communicate Gusto's total rewards story.
Compliance is critical: you'll ensure adherence to federal, state, and local pay regulations including pay transparency laws, FLSA classification standards, and emerging pay equity requirements, proactively flagging legislative changes. You'll partner with People Operations to integrate and optimize HRIS and compensation tools, ensuring data accuracy and system scalability.
Gusto supports over 500,000 small businesses with payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR services. The compensation function is at an inflection point, scaling from early foundations to a mature, high-trust operation. You'll have real ownership to shape how compensation is designed and delivered as the company grows.
