The Director of Marketing Operations will lead AI-driven growth initiatives, optimize marketing technologies, ensure sales alignment, and mentor teams for operational excellence in a B2B context.
CaptivateIQ is transforming the way companies plan, manage, and optimize sales performance. 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.

As a hands-on leader, you will own the strategy, systems, and execution that power our go-to-market (GTM) motion. You will partner closely with marketing, sales, and leadership to ensure Marketing Operations is a measurable driver of revenue.
