About the role

CaptivateIQ is looking for a Senior Manager of Product Design to lead design for our Product Platform — the shared capabilities that products across CaptivateIQ build on. You'll lead a team responsible for making these capabilities feel like one coherent, trustworthy system rather than a collection of tools. Because platform decisions often affect multiple products and teams, this role requires strong systems thinking, design judgment, and the ability to drive decisions across organizational boundaries.

What they're looking for

  • Lead, coach, and grow a team of product designers, including senior ICs
  • Set the design strategy and quality bar for Product Platform in partnership with Product and Engineering
  • Operate as a player-coach, personally shaping high-leverage or ambiguous problems while enabling your designers to own their domains
  • Establish and maintain a high bar for interaction and visual design across complex, systems-heavy product surfaces
  • Bring systems thinking to platform decisions, identifying cross-product implications and opportunities for shared patterns
  • Represent Design in roadmap, prioritization, and architectural conversations
