Director of Product Management -Product Platform

Role Description

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.

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.

What You'll Own

• AI & Agent Platform:
  • The agent SDK, MCP server, agent portal for authoring and observability, eval framework and runner, and shared chat/agent UI primitives.
  • Every layer must be API-first and agent-accessible.
• Data Platform:
  • Bi-directional data connectors and the ETL/ingestion and transformation layer.
• Workflows & Reporting:
  • Long-running orchestration with human-in-the-loop approvals and in-house reporting and analytics.
• Identity:
  • Authentication and SSO, policies and permissions, entitlements that drive feature gating.
• State Platform:
  • Versioning and state-transition machine, sandbox, and audit built on top of it.

Your job is everything that makes our customer-facing applications interoperable, governable, and agent-ready.

Responsibilities

• Own the Product Platform strategy and roadmap.
• Define how CaptivateIQ’s shared layers evolve to make every product faster to build and every model more connected.
• 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.

Qualifications

• 4+ years leading product managers, with a track record of shaping complex, multi-tenant systems.
• Deep experience with platform or infrastructure products.
• Demonstrated ability to build reusable primitives and abstractions.
• Strong API-first instincts.
• Fluency with and genuine curiosity about the AI/agent stack.
• Strong cross-functional instincts.
• A coaching mindset.
• Clear, structured thinking.
• Passion for creating environments where product teams do their best work.

Benefits

• Comprehensive Healthcare: 100% coverage for medical, dental, and vision for all FTEs, with roughly 75% coverage for dependents.
• Flexible Time Off: Flexible vacation days plus quarterly mental health days.
• Annual Stipends: Dedicated funds for professional development and caretaking needs.
• Work Anniversary Bonuses: Annual bonuses to celebrate milestones and contributions.
• Retirement Savings (US-Only): A 401(k) plan to help you invest in your future.
• Premium Tools: The latest Apple hardware to empower you.
• Inclusive Community: Active Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that support our DEI goals.
