About the Role:
Gusto is seeking a leader for our Benefits Advising team who is passionate about providing small business owners and their employees with the best customer experience and expert benefits advice. You will lead a licensed benefits advisor organization by empowering and enabling your individual contributors to deliver a best in class customer experience effectively in a fast paced environment. You'll be a great fit if you also have experience in effectively managing OKR/team initiatives while also leading a high performing team.
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.

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.
Here's what you'll do day-to-day:
- Empower & Coach to Operational Excellence: Provide regular coaching and performance management (via 1:1s and monthly reviews) focused on technical mastery, customer-centricity, and hitting KPIs.
- Drive retention and revenue growth: Deliver on retention targets by ensuring tailored, high-quality renewal experiences through a customer's renewal and ongoing benefits experience.
- Evolve the customer experience: Use customer feedback and data to identify and drive improved processes and deliver more holistic, outcomes-focused advising. Act as project manager for large-scale, cross-functional initiatives that result in better outcomes for our customers.
- Lead change management: Guide organization-wide improvements, enabling advisors and managers to adapt and thrive in a dynamic environment.
- Foster culture and engagement: Build a culture rooted in Gusto's values, creating an environment of trust, feedback, and continuous learning.
- Work cross-functionally: Partner with Product, Carrier Ops, Sales, and other CX teams to act as the voice of the Advisor by surfacing feedback to improve tooling, training, workflows, and the overall customer experience.
- Champion AI integration: Identify high-impact opportunities, coach your team to build critical AI fluency, and shape the future of our customer journey by leveraging new tools for smarter, more proactive customer engagement.
Here's what we're looking for:
- 4-6 years of formal leadership experience in benefits advisory, customer success or renewals, or a similar field
- Direct experience with small group health insurance (fully insured, level-funded or PEO models) is required.
- Proven ability to drive revenue growth, customer retention, and expansion through consultative renewal and upsell strategies
- Analytic and strategic thinker with the ability to translate data into insights and actions
- Strong operational skills, proactive approach to process improvement, and previous experience driving initiatives and best practices that improve customer experience
- Ability to evaluate and adopt AI tools strategically to measurably improve advisor productivity, customer retention, and operational efficiency—while balancing innovation with risk management, compliance requirements, and maintaining customer trust in a licensed advisory context
- Experience with technology/automation solutions such as Salesforce, APIs, and benefits administration platforms
- Executive presence with the ability to align leaders across CX, Sales, and Product, to lead high-impact initiatives
- Customer-first mentality with a first-principles-thinking approach
- Thrives in and can lead a team through a fast-paced environment with constant change and rapid growth
- Able to make measured, objective, data-driven decisions on a daily basis

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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Renewals Manager
Verify your degree supports specialty occupation
USCIS requires your degree field to directly relate to a Renewals Manager's core duties, such as contract management, revenue operations, or financial analysis. A general business degree may need supplemental documentation if your transcript doesn't align with the specific role.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Renewals Manager openings by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for this role, so you're applying to companies with a demonstrated H-1B sponsorship track record rather than hoping they'll sponsor.
Check prevailing wage level before negotiating offers
Run the OFLC Wage Search for your target metro area before any offer conversation. Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the prevailing rate, so knowing the threshold helps you gauge whether an offer can realistically support a petition.
Confirm the employer files before the lottery closes
If you need a new H-1B, registration opens in March and selection happens before April 1. Ask recruiters directly whether they file in time for the annual cap window, since some smaller employers in SaaS or insurance only engage immigration counsel after an offer is signed.
Document renewal performance metrics for RFE responses
USCIS occasionally issues Requests for Evidence questioning whether a Renewals Manager role qualifies as a specialty occupation. Keep quantified records of your responsibilities, such as contract renewal rates and revenue retention figures, to support your employer's response if needed.
Use your 60-day grace period strategically between roles
If your H-1B ends with one employer, you have a 60-day grace period to secure a new sponsoring offer. Prioritize employers who can file an H-1B transfer quickly, since your work authorization doesn't begin at the new company until USCIS receives the transfer petition.
H-1B Visa Renewals Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Renewals Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, when the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as business administration, finance, or a related discipline. USCIS evaluates the job duties, not just the title. Renewals Manager roles that involve contract strategy, revenue forecasting, or client retention analysis generally satisfy the specialty occupation standard, particularly at mid-market and enterprise employers in SaaS, insurance, and financial services.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most often for Renewals Managers?
SaaS and subscription software companies, insurance carriers, and financial services firms sponsor H-1B visas for Renewals Managers with the most regularity. These industries rely heavily on recurring-revenue models, making the role a core business function rather than a discretionary hire. You can browse employers with verified LCA filing history for this role on Migrate Mate.
Can my employer sponsor my H-1B extension if my role changes from Renewals Manager to a senior or director title?
Yes, but your employer must file an amended H-1B petition with USCIS before the role change takes effect if the new position involves materially different duties, a different location, or a different wage level. A title change to Senior Renewals Manager or Director of Renewals typically requires an amended petition, which your employer's immigration counsel should initiate proactively.
What happens to my H-1B status if my employer is acquired or merges with another company?
Your H-1B status remains valid through a merger or acquisition if the successor entity assumes your H-1B obligations and your job duties, title, and compensation stay substantially the same. USCIS generally allows a successor-in-interest transfer without a new petition, but your employer's legal team should document the corporate change and confirm no amended petition is required for your specific role.
How do I find Renewals Manager jobs where the employer is already set up to sponsor H-1B visas?
The most reliable signal is an employer's prior LCA filing history, which is public DOL data showing which companies have sponsored comparable roles at certified wage levels. Migrate Mate surfaces this data by employer and occupation, so you can identify companies that have already filed for Renewals Manager or closely related titles rather than relying on job descriptions that vaguely mention visa sponsorship.
