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:
The accounting industry is at an inflection point. AI is fundamentally reshaping how firms operate, advisory services are displacing compliance-only engagements, and the platforms that win accountant loyalty in the next two years will define the category for the decade after. Gusto's Accountant Partner Program is one of the most strategically important levers in the business, and we need a senior leader to own its full arc — from strategy and program design through enablement and team development.
As the Head of, Accountant Partner Program, you will own the strategic direction, operational architecture, and multi-year investment thesis for Gusto's Accountant Partner Program. In addition to your IC ownership of program strategy, you will directly manage two enablement ICs: a Channel Partner Enablement Manager and a Senior Enablement Manager, Accountants. Together this team owns how accounting firm partners and channel partners are activated, onboarded, and trained. You will set the overarching enablement strategy and develop both individuals as the team scales.
This role reports directly to the Head of Indirect GTM and operates with wide latitude over objectives, approaches, and program design across the Accountant Partner Program.
About the Team:
- The Indirect GTM team at Gusto owns the Accountant Partner Program — Gusto's scaled path to SMB customers through accounting firm partners.
