New York City, US · Full-time · $172,000 – $253,000

About this role

Gusto is building the financial platform that small businesses will rely on for the next decade, and AI is at the center of that. As the Sr. Staff Product Designer, Finance, you'll set the UX vision and strategy across the Money and Risk teams, spanning five interconnected product areas: Business Money, Consumer Money, Payments, Risk, and Identity.

Your role is to see what individual teams can't, identifying opportunities and systemic gaps that span the full financial experience. You'll drive the work that makes Gusto's financial products feel clear, trustworthy, and empowering for hundreds of thousands of small businesses and their employees.

Design at Gusto is made up of over 80 creative, collaborative people who care deeply about our mission to empower small businesses and their employees. We are building an AI-native design organization, using AI to prototype ideas quickly, shorten customer feedback loops, and ship quality UX directly to customers.

Nobody has fully figured out what AI-first financial UX looks like at scale. This role is the chance to define it at Gusto, shaping product strategy alongside product directors and engineering leaders while contributing platform patterns that scale beyond the Money and Risk teams.

  • Proven track record designing for trust, clarity, and empowerment in financial products
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Data, and Marketing
  • Active engagement with AI tools relevant to the role and growing fluency as the technology evolves
  • Ability to work as an individual contributor on the highest-priority projects while developing other designers

Responsibilities

  • Define a long-term UX vision that connects financial and trust experiences across teams
  • Identify and drive high-impact opportunities that no single pod could tackle alone
  • Shape product strategy alongside product directors and engineering leaders
  • Step in as a direct IC on the highest-priority projects
  • Develop other designers and contribute platform patterns that scale beyond the Money and Risk teams
  • Use AI tools to prototype ideas quickly and shorten customer feedback loops
