We started by revolutionizing incentive compensation management, and now we're expanding our platform to solve broader sales planning challenges. Recognized by industry analysts like Forrester and G2 and backed by top-tier investors, including Sequoia, ICONIQ, Accel, and Sapphire Ventures, we empower high-growth companies like Netflix, Figma, and Stripe with the flexibility and insights needed to drive revenue performance.

Join a talented, fast-growing team committed to solving some of the most complex and impactful problems in sales performance management.

About The Role CaptivateIQ is seeking a Vice President of Customer Success to lead the next era of how our customers achieve value - across products, personas, and segments. This executive will own renewals, expansion, long‑term retention, and value realization across Enterprise, Mid‑Market, SMB, and Digital CS motions, guiding customers through a measurable Customer Value Journey that connects adoption to ROI and business impact.

This leader will transform our Customer Success organization from an admin‑centric model into a multi‑stakeholder, multi‑product value engine that strengthens adoption depth, broadens executive alignment, and drives durable expansion. The VP will architect the systems, leadership structure, and coaching culture required to scale CS to industry‑leading performance, while ensuring our team operates with clarity, accountability, and commercial rigor.

This is a role for a builder and coach – someone who has led Customer Success organizations through scale, complexity, and platform expansion, and who is energized by turning customer insight and product understanding into a clear path to 110%+ NDR.
