CaptivateIQ is transforming the way companies plan, manage, and optimize sales performance. We started by revolutionizing incentive compensation management, and now we're expanding our platform to solve broader sales planning challenges. Recognized by industry analysts like Forrester and G2 and backed by top-tier investors, including Sequoia, ICONIQ, Accel, and Sapphire Ventures, we empower high-growth companies like Netflix, Figma, and Stripe with the flexibility and insights needed to drive revenue performance.
Join a talented, fast-growing team committed to solving some of the most complex and impactful problems in sales performance management.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the Builder Experience within our Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) product line - the foundation of CaptivateIQ’s success. This role owns how customers model, configure, and manage their compensation logic within our platform - ensuring that what’s historically been a complex and technical task becomes intuitive, scalable, and enterprise-ready.
You’ll work closely with engineering, design, and CX to shape the next generation of our modeling and configuration experiences - from no-code workflows and modeling primitives, to validation, testing, and collaboration features that power enterprise-grade reliability with consumer-grade usability.

Job Location

The candidate selected for this opportunity must reside near one of the following locations:

Raleigh, NC
Nashville, TN
Toronto, Canada

What You’ll Do

  • Own the Builder Experience roadmap - define and deliver the vision for how customers model and operationalize their incentive compensation plans.
  • Deeply understand user workflows - partner closely with customers, CX, and Solution Architects to identify friction points in how admins and builders create, test, and maintain plans.
  • Balance intuitiveness with power - design solutions that make modeling logic and workflows feel simple without limiting advanced capabilities required by enterprise clients.
  • Collaborate across teams - work hand-in-hand with engineering, design, and GTM to bring features from concept to launch, and ensure smooth adoption across customers.
  • Champion platform thinking - ensure your solutions integrate seamlessly with the broader ecosystem of modeling products, leveraging shared objects, reusable components, and consistent UX patterns.
  • Drive clarity and execution - define crisp problem statements, measurable outcomes, and success criteria; ensure delivery aligns with broader company goals.

What You’ll Bring

  • 6-8+ years of product management and or domain-relevant experience, ideally with data-modeling, workflow automation, or enterprise SaaS products.
  • A track record of shipping complex, technical products that balance power and usability - experience in areas like modeling interfaces, configuration tools, or workflow design is a plus.
  • Strong customer empathy and curiosity - you go deep to understand user intent, edge cases, and business context.
  • Strong product sense paired with systems thinking - you can reason about both UI/UX details and underlying architecture.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills - able to synthesize complexity into clarity for cross-functional partners.
  • Comfort with hands-on collaboration in Figma, user sessions, and with engineering on implementation details.
  • A bias toward action - thrives in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where clarity emerges through doing.

Why This Role Matters

  • The Builder Experience sits at the heart of how CaptivateIQ delivers value. It’s where customers turn their business rules into live, automated systems. A great builder experience unlocks faster implementations, greater trust, and broader adoption - it’s where the power and approachability of our ICM platform meet.

  • Comprehensive Healthcare: 100% coverage for medical, dental, and vision for all FTEs, with roughly 75% coverage for dependents.
  • Flexible Time Off: Flexible vacation days plus quarterly mental health days to ensure you have the space to recharge.

Empowering revenue teams to get incentives right. With CaptivateIQ, organizations can build the right commission plans for their business, and better adapt to changing environments and evolving business needs.

Our mission

At CaptivateIQ, we believe in the power of incentives. When organizations get incentive compensation right, it supercharges their business — aligning revenue teams with company goals, and motivating outperformance.

Our mission is to enable every company to take control of this strategic lever. We built an agile commission platform that makes it easy for sales, finance, and operations teams to design the best commission plans for their organizations, and iterate with confidence to achieve revenue goals.

Our story

Calculating commissions is mission-critical. And it’s really, really hard. Each company has a unique commission structure that involves far more calculations and data than a typical salary payroll — and for many, commission is one of the largest expenses on the P&L statement.‍

When CaptivateIQ was founded in 2017, compensation leaders were tracking and managing sales data using costly legacy software or, in the worst cases, a single spreadsheet. There were no other options but to use opaque, error-prone processes to manage commissions. Our founders knew this could be better.

So they created the solution that they’d want to use: CaptivateIQ.

Our hope is to empower everyone involved in the commission process. Our goal is to have all commissions live in CaptivateIQ — thereby providing revenue-focused teams with the data and insights they need to make informed decisions and develop winning strategies.

We’ve come a long way since our early days, but we’re focused on many more fulfilling years to come.

What we value

  • Bias Towards Action: We take the initiative and are proactive in making decisions. We prioritize action over indecision. We experiment, test, and learn by taking small steps and iterating rapidly.

  • Operate with Clarity: We understand our goals, objectives, and expectations. We communicate effectively and transparently. We establish clear roles and responsibilities.

  • Be an Owner: We act with a sense of ownership, taking responsibility for our actions and decisions in the best interest of the company and our customers.

  • Deliver Impact: We achieve tangible outcomes. We stay focused on what is important. We measure our progress and identify areas where we need to improve.

  • Lead with Empathy: We understand and respond to the needs and concerns of our team and our customers. We build trust and strong relationships.

CaptivateIQ belonging

At CaptivateIQ, we value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging because we believe that different perspectives and cultures help us succeed as a company. Since we work in a remote-first culture, it's essential that we have a strong sense of community.‍

CaptivateIQ's Employee Resource Groups are voluntary, employee-led groups designed to support the shared identities and experiences of our diverse community.

We are continually striving to build a workplace that promotes the well-being of our employees and empowers them to make decisions that will help businesses thrive in an ever-changing world.
