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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
