About the Team:
The Benefits Advising team at Gusto is focused on understanding the health insurance needs of small businesses, and consulting on solutions to help their employees thrive. The Benefits Advising leader will empower a team in Gusto’s licensed advising renewal organization, ensuring our customers offer the best health insurance and benefits offerings for their employees. This role will balance both customer impact and operational excellence: you’ll be responsible for driving customer retention, expansion, and exceptional customer experience at scale. Your team will support small business owners in accessing the best health insurance and holistic benefits offerings - including ancillary coverage, tax-advantaged accounts, and retirement plans like 401(k). Much of this work is centered around small group health insurance, including fully insured and level-funded plans, where tailored guidance is essential for customer success. You’ll directly empower a team of 10-15 licensed advisors and specialists, guiding them through renewal cycles and enabling them to serve as trusted advisors to our customers.
