  • Perform other duties and assignments within the Payroll department as requested.

  • International experience is a plus.
  • Demonstrated intermediate skill in Excel.

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $77,000 - $95,000 in Denver & most major metro locations, and $93,000 - $115,000 for San Francisco & New York. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate location, experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Gusto has physical office spaces in Denver, San Francisco, and New York City. Employees who are based in those locations will be expected to work from the office on designated days approximately 2-3 days per week (or more depending on role).
