Head of Gusto Controls

We’re looking for a Head of Internal Controls to join Gusto’s Finance, BizOps & Strategy team. This leader will partner with accounting and technical leaders to build and scale a forward-thinking internal controls environment that supports Gusto’s growth and operational maturity.

As the Head of Internal Controls, you will lead Gusto’s controls program across business process controls and IT controls. The scope includes the proprietary and third-party systems supporting Gusto’s payroll, health benefits, retirement, and other financial products.

You will build the team, set the program’s strategy, and embed practical controls into how Gusto’s products, systems, and financial processes are designed and operated. You will also define what an AI-forward internal controls function can look like, both by applying AI to controls work and by establishing oversight of AI-enabled financial processes and software development.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on controls leader who has built or scaled an ICFR program and led experienced teams. They can engage collaboratively with accounting and technical leaders, understand proprietary systems and complex data flows, and translate risk into controls that support the business without creating unnecessary operational burden.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:
