Captivate

IQ 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.

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to help shape the future of our Incentive Compensation Management experiences. This is a senior individual contributor role for a designer who thrives in complexity, owns large problem spaces end to end, and leads through influence, judgment, and craft.

As a Staff Designer, you’ll guide design across a significant product area, with scope that can extend beyond a single team into the broader ICM pillar. You’ll help shape not just individual features, but the foundational systems, patterns, and decisions that influence the wider product experience as Captivate

IQ scales.

You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, CX, and other cross‑functional partners to design enterprise‑grade workflows that customers rely on to model, manage, and trust their compensation logic; ultimately helping teams stay motivated and confident in how they get paid.

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

• Menlo Park, CA
• Austin, TX

• Raleigh, NC
• Nashville, TN
• Toronto, Canada

• Own large, ambiguous design problems from discovery through delivery and iteration
• Design complex, data‑heavy workflows for configuring, testing, and managing incentive compensation plans
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and other cross‑functional partners to frame problems, explore solutions, and ship high‑quality experiences
• Balance usability with flexibility, designing for enterprise scale while ensuring advanced functionality remains approachable and scalable
• Design and evolve foundational systems and reusable patterns that improve consistency and long‑term product quality
• Champion systems thinking, ensuring solutions integrate cleanly across the broader platform
• Act as a force multiplier across Design, Product, and Engineering by bringing clarity, strong judgment, and mentorship through example
• Raise the bar for UX, UI, and interaction design across enterprise‑facing product surfaces
• Lead through influence and execution, not people management

• 8+ years of experience designing SaaS products, ideally B2B, enterprise, or admin‑facing tools
• Strong fundamentals in UX, UI, and interaction design (table stakes for this role)
• Experience designing data‑heavy, workflow‑driven systems
• Strong product sense, with the ability to understand customer, technical, and business tradeoffs
• An ownership mindset, with a track record of independently driving work end to end
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, complex problem spaces where clarity emerges through collaboration
• Ability to connect design decisions to business outcomes and long‑term product strategy
• Clear, effective written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to articulate direction, rationale, and tradeoffs with cross‑functional partners and leadership

• Incentive compensation is where complex business rules directly affect how people get paid and how companies build trust. As a Staff Product Designer, you’ll design the systems and workflows that turn that complexity into clarity for customers.
• Your work will shape the foundations of the product, setting the quality bar for how Captivate
