AI experience requirements vary by role and will be assessed during the interview process. About the Role: We're looking for a senior People Business Partner to support our Customer Experience organization at Gusto. This role reports into Gusto's Head of People and serves as an embedded, execution-oriented partner to the CX Leadership Team — someone who advises and then stays in the room until the work is done. This is a senior partnership role with a team management component. You'll spend most of your time working directly with CX Senior Leaders — the leaders who run one of our largest, most operationally complex functions — on org design, workforce strategy, and the harder talent conversations that only land when there's real trust. At the same time, you'll directly empower 2 People Partners who deliver the day-to-day: coaching frontline managers, managing ER volume, and executing People programs across a large, distributed org. You earn trust through follow-through, not decks. You stress-test thinking and then own the outcome — from org change communication to the last Workday update. You don't identify primarily as a strategist. Y
