Director of Product Management -Product Platform

CaptivateIQ is transforming the way companies plan, manage, and optimize the models that run their business. They are seeking a Director of Product Management to lead the strategy and execution of their Product Platform, which serves as the foundation for all CaptivateIQ applications. This role involves overseeing the development of interconnected systems that enhance product functionality and streamline enterprise modeling.

Responsibilities:

• Own the Product Platform strategy and roadmap
• Make the platform an accelerant, not a tax
• Champion interface-first, agent-ready design
• Model hands-on product leadership
• Scale enterprise readiness
• Develop system thinkers
• Drive measurable impact

Requirements:

• 4+ years leading product managers, with a track record of shaping complex, multi-tenant systems
• Accountable to achieving business, platform, and organizational outcomes by creating clarity, enabling systems of good decision-making, and multiplying impact
• Deep experience with platform or infrastructure products — data platforms, APIs and developer platforms, workflow/orchestration engines, identity and access, or similar foundational layers where correctness, scale, and usability intersect
• Demonstrated ability to build reusable primitives and abstractions that serve multiple products, teams, and external builders
• Strong API-first instincts — you think in interfaces, schemas, and contracts before screens
• Fluency with and genuine curiosity about the AI/agent stack: MCP, agent tooling, evals, context management, and how orchestration around a model — not just the model — drives differentiated value
• 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
