Staff Business Systems Analyst

Gusto Gusto · Fintech · Denver, CO +1 · Engineering

This role is for a Staff Business Systems Analyst on the Unified Service Platform (USP) product team at Gusto. The USP team is responsible for engineering the intelligent, AI-driven ecosystem that brings GTM and Service operations into alignment. The role involves driving platform excellence, leading cross-functional delivery, owning the integration ecosystem, acting as a technology strategist, building exceptional Gustie experiences, owning lead-to-cash capabilities, and championing change communication. The ideal candidate has extensive experience with Salesforce, GTM tools, and is comfortable using AI tools to accelerate development. While the role is within an AI-native team and requires using AI tools, the core responsibilities are focused on business systems analysis and platform management rather than direct AI/ML model development.

  2. Lead Cross-Functional Delivery: Manage projects and partner closely with cross-functional teams to roll out new systems, reduce process inefficiencies, and deliver measurable impact across the organization.
  3. Own the Integration Ecosystem: Manage integrated applications and third-party suppliers — including NICE CXOne, Qualtrics, Gong, Chili Piper, Outreach, RingLead, Catalyst, and more — ensuring seamless connectivity across the GTM tech stack.
  4. Be a Technology Strategist: Partner with stakeholders to take ownership of the roadmap and tools they depend on, driving efficiency and enabling Gusto to scale with confidence.
  5. Build Exceptional Gustie Experiences: Design and maintain best-in-class experiences using Salesforce Service and Sales Clouds, with a focus on usability and adoption.
