About the role

Created by a team with decades of commissions experience, CaptivateIQ is pioneering the new standard in commission management and enabling companies to reclaim the power of incentives.

Calculating commissions is mission-critical. And it’s really, really hard. Each company has a unique commission structure that involves far more calculations and data than a typical salary payroll — and for many, commission is one of the largest expenses on the P&L statement.

When CaptivateIQ was founded in 2017, compensation leaders were tracking and managing sales data using costly legacy software or, in the worst cases, a single spreadsheet. There were no other options but to use opaque, error-prone processes to manage commissions. Our founders knew this could be better. So they created the solution that they’d want to use: CaptivateIQ.

Today, the best teams use CaptivateIQ to strategically manage and maximize the power of incentives. Twenty-eight of the Forbes Cloud 100, including leading brands like Amplitude, Gong, and Hopin, use CaptivateIQ to power their commission programs. We have over $164.6M in funding from ICONIQ, Sequoia, Accel, Workday Ventures, Sapphire, Y Combinator, Amity Ventures, GTMFund, S28 Capital, and other top investors. We’ve grown over 3x by all measures in the past year – including revenue, customers, and employees – and we’re searching for more great folks such as yourself to help us transform the world of commission management.

We’re proud of our 5.0 rating on Glassdoor. Our remote team comes from diverse backgrounds and experiences, which helps us better serve our customers and each other. People are at the heart of our open and inclusive organization, and we bring transparency, humility, and respect to everything that we do.

At CaptivateIQ, Product Design is a highly collaborative effort between Product, Engineering, as well as customer-facing teams. At this stage of growth, we are looking for a “T-shaped” designer - strong generalists with a wide breadth of skills, but excels in a discipline (particularly in analytics and data visualization). We are looking for someone who is collaborative, curious, and asks the right questions to get a clear understanding of the problem we are solving for.

Responsibilities:

  • Work closely with a cross-functional team to clearly understand user needs to design thoughtful and engaging solutions
  • Work closely with PMs, engineers, and customer-facing teams in an iterative, transparent, and feedback-driven process
  • Think holistically about complex systems, empathize with users, and understand business goals to create compelling and effective user experiences
  • Translate product goals into wireframes and then polished visual mocks with attention to interaction design and following style and brand guidelines
  • Be an advocate for product quality

Requirements:

  • 3+ years designing and shipping products with high complexity (system or enterprise tools preferably)
  • Demonstrated experience with end-to-end product design with a focus on interaction and UX
  • Confident diving into complex systems-design problems
  • Strong communication skills that drive effective decision making to a cross-functional team
  • Ability to clearly explain design processes and when/what/how/why they should be used

Benefits:

  • (US-ONLY) 100% of medical, dental, and vision covered including 75% for dependents
  • Unlimited vacation days and quarterly mental health days so you can recharge
  • $500 on your 1-year work anniversary (to use for travel, home furnishings, fancy meal)
  • $500 annual professional development stipend to continue growing and learning
  • $500 home office stipend to decorate your home office
  • $1,000 caretaker stipend to make sure our parent colleagues are being supported
  • Virtual team lunches to keep you connected
  • (US-ONLY) 401k plan to participate in and save towards the future
  • Newest hardware and tools for the job
  • Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to support and celebrate the shared identities and life experiences of communities within CaptivateIQ. ERGs directly support our company-wide DEI goals as a space for developing and retaining diverse talent.

Notice for Prospective Candidates

  • We are aware of active recruitment scams using the CaptivateIQ name, in which individuals pose as our recruiters and post fake remote job openings and make fake job offers on the Internet. Please note, we will never do the following:
  • Attempt to correspond with a candidate using a free web-based account, such as an email address that ends in @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc.
  • Make an offer of employment without conducting multiple rounds of interviews face-to-face using secure video-conferencing technology.
  • Ask candidates to cash checks to buy equipment on behalf of CaptivateIQ.
  • Ask candidates to make a payment in order to be considered for a position.
  • Make early requests for candidates' personal information such as date of birth, passport details, credit card numbers, bank details and social security number, etc.
  • Please note that we’ll only ask for more sensitive personal information in connection with background checks after an offer is made.

This role can be in San Francisco or Remote anywhere in North America, preferably the west coast.
