Our mission is to create a world where work empowers a better life, and it starts right here at Gusto. That’s why we’re committed to building a collaborative and inclusive workplace, both physically and virtually. Learn more about our Total Rewards philosophy .

About the Role:

As a core member of the Benefits Onboarding team, you’ll be responsible for setting up customers with their health benefits while providing a delightful experience. You’ll put their minds at ease by guiding them through a complex process, providing timely information, and keeping all the moving parts running smoothly. You’ll help employers get group benefits for the very first time, and then help those employers continue to make important benefits decisions on an annual basis.

Please note that there will be an onsite training requirement from July 23rd - August 15th for this role, before moving to a hybrid position in Denver. There is also a requirement to be present onsite for training during employment in this role.

At Gusto, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional service to our customers. To achieve this, we require all team members to be flexible with their schedules to meet the varying needs of our clients. This may involve working overtime, weekends, or adjusting shifts as necessary.

About the Team:

The Benefit Onboarding team is passionate about using innovative technology and service to elevate the health benefits experience of small business owners and their employees. Each team member is a true owner and makes a tremendous impact every day. You will use your project-management skills to streamline benefit administration with insurance carriers, drive operations and communications with third-party partners, and build the health insurance engine that will make benefits with Gusto great.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Oversee the entire benefits onboarding process from start to finish, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure timely delivery of benefits
• Provide expertise in healthcare and benefits enrollment via written and verbal communication with Gusto Customers
• Work directly with customers to implement employee benefit packages specific to our customers’ needs
• Provide guidance, support, and manage escalations with customers at key moments in their relationship with Gusto during their benefits journey
• Manage multiple priorities using Salesforce and other technology platforms in your digital workspace
• Be available for our customers via phone and email to answer questions about the onboarding process

Here’s what we're looking for:

• 2-4 years of client-facing experience - bonus points for exposure to healthcare, payroll, or a start-up environment
• Empathetic and customer-centric: You care deeply about the customers you serve
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Strong attention to detail
• Skilled in problem solving, dealing with ambiguity, and cross-team communication
• Self-motivated and comfortable working collaboratively and autonomously - excited about striving toward team and individual metrics
• Ability to work throughout seasonal peaks
• Adaptability to flex to other internal roles if needed
• Embraces an ownership mentality

Our cash compensation range for this role is $23.50/hour to $26.44/hour in Denver. 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). 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.
