Manager, Business Insurance Servicing

At Gusto, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff — payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR — so owners can focus on their craft and their customers. With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, we support more than 500,000 small businesses nationwide and are building a workplace that reflects the people we serve.

All full-time employees receive competitive base pay, benefits, and equity (RSUs) — because everyone who helps build Gusto should share in its success. Offer amounts are determined by role, level, and location. Learn more about our Total Rewards philosophy.

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.

Gusto is building its own P&C insurance agency, and our servicing team is growing right alongside it. You'll lead the licensed team that keeps our commercial book correctly covered — endorsements, renewals, claims, carrier relationships — while building the systems, SOPs, and automation that let that team scale without headcount scaling at the same rate. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll hire, coach, and grow a small licensed team, own service quality and compliance for the function, and still pick up the phone when it matters.

The Business Insurance team is building Gusto's P&C insurance agency from the ground up, across core small commercial lines including Workers' Compensation. We partner closely with carrier counterparts and work hand-in-hand with product, engineering, design, data, sales, and licensed insurance professionals to ship a quote, bind, and service experience that's fast, accurate, and easy to manage over time. You'll lead the licensed servicing arm of that team — small today, growing fast — reporting into Financial Services leadership.

• Hire, onboard, and lead a small team of licensed account managers, setting the service standards, escalation paths, and quality bar they work against.
• Own service-level performance for the book — response and resolution time, endorsement cycle time and accuracy, save rate on the cancellation queue, client satisfaction — and report on it to Financial Services leadership.
• Carry the toughest escalations yourself: contested or rescinded broker-of-record situations, complex coverage disputes, and carrier issues your team can't yet close alone.
• Own the carrier relationship on servicing matters — appointment paperwork, escalation channels, SLA negotiation — and represent the servicing function in cross-functional planning with product and engineering.

Preferred: prior experience building or scaling a service function from scratch (agency, insurtech, or MGA); industry designations (CIC, CPCU, CISR, AAI); multi-state or nonresident licensing already in place.

If you don't think you meet every point above but you're excited about this work, apply anyway.

Our cash compensation range for this role is $92,245.00-$113,000.00 in Denver. Additional locations will vary based on our geographical pay approach. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including candidate location, experience, and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

At Gusto, we don't use titles the traditional way, as a signal of rank or hierarchy. Instead, our titles describe two things at once — your craft (what you do, e.g. Engineering, Design) and your scope of ownership (what you're accountable for) — which is why you'll see something like "Head of X" instead of a rank word like "Director" that tells you neither. Because of this, the title on this posting may look different from what you'd expect based on the scope and seniority of the role, and from how similar roles are typically titled elsewhere. If you have questions about how this role compares to your current title or level, your recruiter can help translate.

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). The same office expectations apply to all Symmetry roles, Gusto's subsidiary, whose physical office is in Scottsdale.

Note: The San Francisco office expectations encompass both the San Francisco and San Jose metro areas.

When approved to work from a location other than a Gusto office, a secure, reliable, and consistent internet connection is required. This includes non-office days for hybrid employees.

Reliable, consistent presence: We expect regular and predictable attendance, whether you're working in-office, hybrid, or fully remote, so that you stay closely connected to your team, customers, and stakeholders in real time and ensure colleagues and customers receive the timely support and responsiveness they deserve.

Our customers come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for small businesses, you will find a home at Gusto.
