About the Role
We’re looking for a Lead Product Manager to lead the vision, strategy, and execution of our Business Planning initiative, Catalyst — a bold new product line that will transform how our customers plan, collaborate, and operate across their revenue organizations.
This is a zero-to-one leadership role: you will own the effort of bringing a new category-defining offering to market, working closely with engineering, design, GTM, and senior leadership (including ELT sponsors). You will be accountable for guiding our Catalyst Business Planning product from initial launch with early adopters through to market traction and scale.
Our Business Planning offering is positioned to become a connected planning platform, initially focused on revenue teams but designed to expand into adjacent workflows like finance, headcount planning, cost forecasting, anomaly detection, and beyond — exploiting the latest in AI/ML and forecasting techniques.
Job Location
The candidate selected for this opportunity must reside near one of the following locations:
Remote
Raleigh, NC

Responsibilities
- Own the product vision & strategy for Business Planning, setting direction and driving alignment across the company.
- Shepherd Catalyst from launch → success: partner with design and engineering to define the MVP, iterate with early adopters, and expand into a highly sellable product that wins in market.
- Recruit and manage design partners and early adopters; build deep customer relationships that translate into referenceable logos.
- Drive roadmap & execution end-to-end — from strategic goals through detailed requirements, feature delivery, and adoption.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with GTM, Sales, CS, Marketing, Finance, and Enablement to build and refine a successful go-to-market motion.
- Represent the voice of the customer and the market — conduct discovery, research, and competitive analysis to shape differentiated, high-value solutions.
- Position CaptivateIQ as a modern alternative to legacy BPM vendors (Anaplan, Pigment, etc.) by emphasizing usability, scalability, and speed to value.
- Act as a thought leader in planning and BPM — stay on top of market trends, represent CaptivateIQ in customer and industry forums, and shape our AI story in this space.
- Mentor and model excellence for developing PMs, raising the bar on product practice across the organization.
Requirements
- 6–14+ years of product management experience, including substantial time as a Senior PM or Principal PM at enterprise SaaS companies.
- Proven zero-to-one track record: experience leading the creation and launch of a net-new product or major product line.
- Strong background in enterprise SaaS in data-heavy domains (BI, forecasting, analytics, machine learning, modeling, or planning software).
- Familiarity with BPM, FP&A, or GTM planning tools (e.g., Anaplan, Pigment, Adaptive, Planful, Vena, OneStream, Board, Prophix, Varicent) is a strong plus.
- Demonstrated ability to drive go-to-market strategy — partnering with Sales, Marketing, and CS to launch and scale enterprise products.
- Excellent communicator with executive presence — able to align ELT, prospects, customers, and internal stakeholders.
- Customer-obsessed and intellectually curious, with the ability to “talk the talk” in modeling/forecasting conversations or learn quickly to gain credibility.
- Mentorship mindset — able to coach early career PMs and exemplify what strong product leadership looks like.
- Thrives in ambiguous, resource-constrained environments; highly resourceful, proactive, and impact-driven.
- U.S. based, remote role (all time zones supported).
