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 building its PEO sales org from the ground up, and we’re looking for a quota-carrying seller to be one of the founding members of that team. This is a true ground-floor opportunity: you’ll be among the first reps closing PEO business at Gusto, working directly with the Head of PEO Sales to prove out and scale the motion.

You’ll drive new PEO revenue by selling Gusto’s co-employment solution to both net-new prospects and our existing base of 400,000+ customers — Gusto’s single biggest competitive advantage over legacy PEOs.

The market opportunity is real, the pace is fast, and the early sellers on this team will help define what “good” looks like.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.

If you’re excited to roll up your sleeves, lead by example, and architect something from scratch, let’s talk.
