Product Manager - Modeling Platform

CaptivateIQ is transforming the way companies plan, manage, and optimize the models that run their business. We started by revolutionizing incentive compensation management, expanded into sales planning, and are building a unified platform for the most critical models an enterprise runs.

CaptivateIQ is looking for a Staff Product Manager – Modeling Platform to define and evolve the foundational modeling capabilities that power products across CaptivateIQ.

Our customers use CaptivateIQ to represent complex business logic: how sales teams earn commissions, how organizations plan headcount and expenses, how revenue is forecast, and how businesses evaluate different scenarios. While these use cases look different on the surface, they depend on many of the same underlying concepts: data, relationships, calculations, models, versions, scenarios, and outputs.

Your job is to turn those concepts into coherent, extensible modeling platform capabilities.

You will work at the intersection of product architecture, data modeling, and user experience, partnering deeply with Engineering, Design, and product teams across CaptivateIQ. You’ll determine what belongs in the shared platform versus individual products, define durable primitives and contracts that multiple teams can build upon, and evolve those abstractions as we expand into new modeling domains.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role for a product leader who loves complex systems, can move fluidly between customer workflows and technical architecture, and knows how to simplify complexity without removing the flexibility sophisticated users need.

The Modeling Platform is the shared foundation for representing and executing business models across CaptivateIQ.

• Modeling primitives. Define the foundational concepts used to represent models, including objects, relationships, inputs, calculations, outputs, components, dimensions, measures, and other reusable building blocks.

• Model structure and composition. Enable customers and product teams to construct sophisticated models from reusable, composable pieces rather than bespoke product‑specific logic.

• State and planning concepts. Establish consistent ways to represent concepts such as actuals, forecasts, versions, and scenarios across modeling use cases.

• Cross-model interoperability. Define how data, assumptions, calculations, and outputs can be shared and referenced across models and products.

• Modeling interfaces and contracts. Partner with Engineering to define clear schemas, APIs, behaviors, and guarantees that product teams can reliably build upon.

• AI-ready modeling. Ensure models have the structure, semantics, and interfaces necessary for agents to understand, create, explain, and safely modify them.

Your job is not to design a modeling system for one product. It is to create the foundation that allows CaptivateIQ to represent many different kinds of business models without rebuilding the modeling paradigm each time.

• Own the Modeling Platform strategy and roadmap. Define the foundational capabilities and primitives that enable CaptivateIQ to represent complex business models across products and domains.

• Define durable platform abstractions. Identify common needs across products and determine what belongs in the shared platform versus the consuming product, where abstraction boundaries should sit, and how those capabilities should evolve over time.

• Partner deeply with Engineering. Work closely with senior and staff+ engineers on data models, schemas, APIs, system behavior, performance constraints, and architectural tradeoffs.

• Ground platform decisions in real modeling problems. Understand how customers represent data, relationships,…
