AI experience requirements vary by role and will be assessed during the interview process. About the Role: Payments at Gusto aren't just infrastructure — they're the reason people get paid on time, every time. Payment Operations sits within Gusto's Money team, a cross-functional group spanning Engineering, Product, and Operations that powers money movement across Gusto's growing product surface: core payroll, contractor payments, international money movement, and new business offerings like PEO. As a Payment Operations Analyst, you'll own specific end-to-end payment workflows, resolve exceptions that require real judgment, and help make our systems more reliable and efficient over time. Gusto's payment surface area is expanding — and this team is at the center of that growth. This is a role for someone who can shift from investigating a single misfired transaction to coordinating a response on a payment outage affecting thousands — and bring the same rigor to both. You think in systems. You hold partners accountable. You lead with curiosity and embrace AI as a core part of how you work. You'll collaborate closely with Engineering, Product, Accounting, Risk, and CX — and you'll develop strong day-to-day relationships with Gusto's bank and payment partners. When something breaks or slows down, you're the one who drives it to resolution. Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day: Support the payment lifecycle end-to-end • Own the operational layer of specific payment workflows — ACH processing, exception handling, refunds, collection re-debits, reconciliation. When something is off, you investigate, escalate where needed, and see it through to resolution. And when you see a pattern, you push to fix the root cause. Build alongside Product and Engineering • Payment Operations doesn't just react — we shape how the systems work. You'll contribute to product specs, surface operational pain points, help define requirements, and participate in launches. You're a partner in building, not just a consumer of what gets shipped. Close the loop on customer pain • Customer and CX feedback is signal. You actively mine it to identify friction in payment flows, prioritize what matters, and bring those insights into the operational and product conversations where decisions get made. Think in systems • Connect the dots across rails, partners, reconciliation, compliance, and customer experience. When an issue surfaces, you understand how it ripples — and you bring that perspective to cross-functional conversations. Hold partners to a high standard • Work directly with Gusto's bank and payment partners — domestic and international — to triage iss
