Symmetry Software is part of Gusto. Symmetry is the payroll infrastructure for software & payroll platforms powering the paychecks of over 64 million workers each year. Our fully integrated suite of payroll tax APIs and software tools allows companies to solve tax compliance issues and build applications across the entirety of the payroll process.

About the Role:

As an Enterprise Account Executive at Symmetry Software, you’ll play a pivotal role in expanding our impact by bringing our suite of payroll compliance solutions to service providers, including payroll service providers, HCM platforms, onboarding platforms, and enterprise-level employers. Your work will directly support our mission to touch every American paycheck with accurate withholding.

You’ll collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, Client Success, RevOps, and SDRs to drive multi-product, high-value deals in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. You’ll be a key part of a team that is raising the bar on what’s possible—challenging the status quo, pioneering innovation, and helping customers reimagine compliance in the modern payroll stack.

If you’re a proactive builder, technical seller, and passionate connector who brings a growth mindset, energy, and ambition, you’ll thrive at Symmetry.

About the Team:

The Sales team at Symmetry is responsible for converting leads and executing outbound strategies to build a qualified pipeline that drives new client acquisition and supports our ARR and revenue goals. In addition to new business, AEs have opportunities to cross-sell into existing accounts and help expand our footprint. We work closely with our SDR team, which supports account-based selling alongside AEs, while also outbound into their accounts and managing inbound interest. Our team also partners tightly with Marketing on demand generation programs and Client Success to identify and execute cross-sell opportunities within our existing client base. With four Account Executives covering both the service provider and direct-to-employer markets—and experience levels ranging from less than a year to over 15 years—we are a collaborative, curious, and results-driven group that values continuous learning, experimentation, and bold execution as we grow into new markets and launch new products.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

  • Own the full sales cycle from target account planning to close, ensuring disciplined and strategic deal management throughout
  • Partner with SDRs on named/target accounts to book meetings, multi-thread, and build a pipeline
  • Generate a pipeline through a combination of outbound prospecting, strategic follow-up, and industry networking
  • Deliver tailored presentations and product demos to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Collaborate with an Implementation Advisor and the Product team to align solutions with customer needs
  • Lead cross-sell opportunities within existing client accounts by identifying additional use cases and product fit
  • Leverage AI tools and other sales technology as part of your daily workflow to improve research, outreach, personalization, and deal execution

Here’s what we're looking for:

  • 8+ years of total sales experience, with 5+ years in B2B SaaS enterprise sales, preferably within HR tech, payroll tech, or related industries
  • Proven track record of consistently exceeding quota and building long-term, trusted relationships with enterprise clients
  • Experience navigating complex sales cycles (120+ days) with multiple stakeholders across product, legal, compliance, and executive teams
  • Strong understanding of the payroll and HR service provider ecosystem, including key business models, challenges, and technology needs, is preferred.
  • Excellent presentation, communication, and empathic listening skills—you’re as effective in the boardroom as you are in discovery
  • A strategic thinker and problem-solver with the ability to learn our products quickly and speak credibly with both technical and non-technical audiences
  • A builder mindset who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment—someone who takes initiative, asks for what they need, and drives results without micromanagement
  • Bachelor’s degree required; additional education or certifications in business, technology, or sales a plus

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted between $158,000-  $205,000 OTE in Scottsdale and most remote locations, and $207,000- $265,000 in San Francisco and New York. OTE = on target earnings which includes both base salary and variable commission with a 50/50 split between base salary (50%) and variable commission (50%).  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.

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.
