Responsibilities:
• Own the ICM product strategy and roadmap. Define how CaptivateIQ continues to set the standard in incentive compensation for enterprises - combining modeling flexibility, scale, and usability.
• Model hands-on product leadership. Stay close to the details. Immerse yourself in customer workflows, data models, and technical constraints.
• Foster a culture of deep collaboration. Help your team connect the dots across components, personas, and product surfaces - making decisions that account for the broader platform, not just their local domains.
• Promote intra-team and cross-functional collaboration. Encourage product and engineering teams to walk across the aisle - spending time with Sales, CX, and customers to gain firsthand understanding.
• Build for leverage. Work with Engineering and Design to define reusable primitives and services that power not just ICM but the broader CIQ platform.
• Scale enterprise readiness. Deliver reliability, auditability, and performance for customers operating at enterprise scale.
• Develop system thinkers. Coach PMs to think holistically, reason about tradeoffs, and make clear, structured decisions grounded in system dynamics.
• Drive measurable impact. Connect the team’s work to company-level outcomes and ensure alignment through clarity, not control.

What You'll Bring:
• 4+ years leading PMs and shaping complex systems.
• Deep understanding of financial, modeling, or operational platforms where correctness, scale, and usability intersect.
• Demonstrated ability to build scalable systems and abstractions that serve multiple use cases and stakeholders.
• Strong cross-functional instincts - able to bring together Engineering, Design, Sales, and CX around shared context and goals.
• A coaching mindset; you invest in developing people’s judgment, not just their execution.
• Clear, structured thinking - you simplify complexity without losing nuance.
• Passion for creating environments where product teams do their best, most thoughtful work.

How We Think About Leadership:
• At CaptivateIQ, leadership is about being accountable to achieving outcomes by way of creating clarity, enabling systems of good decision-making, and multiplying impact.
• As a leader here, you’re a force for alignment and depth. You help your team understand the “why” behind what they’re building, connect their local work to the bigger picture, and cultivate a culture where ownership is shared, curiosity is encouraged, and collaboration is the default.
