Job Description
About Gusto
At Gusto, we’re on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff — payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR — so owners can focus on their craft and their customers. With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, we support more than 500,000 small businesses nationwide and are building a workplace that reflects the people we serve.
All full-time employees receive competitive base pay, benefits, and equity (RSUs) — because everyone who helps build Gusto should share in its success. Offer amounts are determined by role, level, and location. Learn more about our Total Rewards philosophy.
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:
For small business owners, choosing a platform to integrate their benefits is one of the most important decisions they make. As a broker integration advocate, you’ll own the customer journey from the moment a business signs up to integrate their benefits to the final implementation. Your goal: make sure every customer is ready to go when it leaves your hands, so benefits get to the finish line on time and accurately.
That means guiding small business owners through one of the most important (and most complex) decisions they make for their teams, and making the experience feel a lot less overwhelming than it sounds. It is meaningful work that directly impacts the lives of small business owners and their employees.
About the Team:
The Broker Integration team believes that great technology and great service aren’t mutually exclusive. We’re building both. Every team member takes real ownership of their work and makes a tangible impact every day.

- End to end process: You own the entire onboarding journey: confirming eligibility, gathering the required information, building policies, managing enrollments and ensuring accuracy while keeping our customers informed and engaged along the way.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Professional Experience: Minimum 3+ years of professional work experience, ideally within healthcare, health insurance brokerage, hospitality, or a fast-paced startup environment, where anticipating customers’ needs and delivering a great customer experience is a central part of the role.
- Curious about technology. AI tools and automation are part of how this team works. You don’t need to be an expert, but you should be excited to learn and use tools like Glean, Gemini, and other LLM-based AI tools.
- Data-Driven Mindset: Proven success in metrics-based roles where data accuracy and hitting KPIs are central to customer success.
- Account management: Strong background in high-volume book of business under tight deadlines and seasonal peaks.
