CaptivateIQ is looking for a Partner Success Manager (PSM) to own the delivery quality and strategic health of our implementation and services partners.

You will serve as a technical advisor, a project manager, and a strategic consultant, ensuring partners deliver audit-ready commission solutions in complex enterprise environments.

Responsibilities

• Portfolio Leadership: Own a portfolio of SI and consulting partners, acting as the primary point of contact for delivery success and conducting regular business reviews to drive performance.
• Technical Advisory: Act as the lead architectural advisor for partners on data modeling, incentive compensation logic, and financial reporting to ensure designs are scalable.

• Escalation & Resolution: Serve as the lead escalation point for partner-led implementations, triaging technical issues and balancing customer expectations with CIQ compliance standards.
• Continuous Improvement: Capture feedback and systemic issues from the field to influence product and enablement roadmaps while documenting scalable co-delivery playbooks.
• Performance Analytics: Define and maintain partner scorecards - tracking delivery quality, CSAT, and risk signals - to integrate partner success into the broader organizational strategy.

Requirements

• 5-8+ years in SaaS across Partner Success, Solution Architecture, Implementation Consulting, or Technical Project Leadership, specifically within Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) (e.g., CaptivateIQ, Xactly, Varicent, SAP Commissions) or high-complexity SaaS environments.
• Demonstrated ability to lead structured discovery, read and challenge complex solution designs, and translate business requirements into system constraints and behavior.
• Proven track record driving cross-functional initiatives with Sales, CS, PS, Product, and Marketing; comfortable owning programs end-to-end.
• Excellent facilitation skills with the ability to lead executive-level conversations and detailed working sessions with partner consultants.
• Highly organized and process-oriented, with the ability to create structure, frameworks, and documentation.
