About
the Role CaptivateIQ is looking for a Director of Product Management to lead the strategy and execution of our Product Platform — the shared foundation that every CaptivateIQ application is built on. This is the connective tissue of the company: the layers that turn a set of products into a single, AI-native system. It is where data becomes connected and queryable, where workflows orchestrate long-running human-and-agent processes, where reporting turns models into decisions, where identity and entitlements govern who can do what, where state is versioned and audited, and where the AI and agent platform gives every product a consistent, agent-accessible surface. This role owns one of CaptivateIQ’s highest-leverage areas. A single great primitive shipped here compounds across every product. It demands a leader who is hands-on, deeply curious about the systems beneath the surface, and capable of balancing rigorous platform thinking with decisive product execution. Job Location Midwest, East Coast, including Toronto, Canada. \n
What You'll Own The Product Platform spans the shared layers and cross-cutting capabilities that sit between our applications and our infrastructure. Concretely, this scope includes: AI & Agent Platform. The agent SDK, MCP server (the single inbound surface for tool calls across the platform), agent portal for authoring and observability, eval framework and runner, and the shared chat/agent UI primitives every product embeds. This vertical spans the full stack — every layer must be API-first and agent-accessible. Data Platform. Bi-directional data connectors (ingest from HRIS, CRM, and more; egress to warehouse and BI), and the ETL / ingestion and transformation layer that takes raw third-party data through to clean, typed, queryable objects. Workflows & Reporting. Long-running orchestration with human-in-the-loop approvals (payout processing, plan rollout, period close), and in-house reporting and analytics built natively on platform objects and modeling outputs. Identity. Authentication and SSO, policies and permissions (RBAC, scoping enforced at every layer boundary), entitlements that drive feature gating, billing, org settings, and user preferences. State Platform. State as a first-class primitive — the versioning and state-transition machine every change flows through — plus the sandbox (branchable, isolated workspaces for staging changes safely) and audit (a record of every state transition for review and compliance) built on top of it. Your job is everything that makes our customer-facing applications interoperable, governable, and agent-ready.
