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.
About the Role
CaptivateIQ's Professional Services team partners with customers after the deal closes to bring their sales compensation programs to life inside CaptivateIQ — from business requirements and comp plan design through data structure, build-out, UAT, and go-live, before handing off to Customer Success.
We're hiring a Senior Professional Services Consultant to join a growing team leading these implementations end-to-end. This is a client-facing role: you'll move fluidly between customer meetings and hands-on build work, owning the project timeline while managing customer expectations along the way. It's a strong fit for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys solving complex compensation problems, and wants the pace and ownership of a fast-moving, startup environment.
What You'll Do
-
Lead full-cycle CaptivateIQ implementations for customers — from business requirements documentation and comp plan design through data structure, build-out, configuration, UAT, and go-live.
Design system configurations that maximize modeling efficiency and repeatability for each customer's comp plan.
Own project timelines, prioritizing your own work and setting expectations with customers and internal stakeholders across multiple concurrent implementations.
Serve as the primary client-facing point of contact throughout the implementation, building trust with customer admin teams.
Scope new implementation or post-implementation services and support related negotiations as needed.
Lead the handoff to Customer Success at go-live, ensuring a clean transition across cross-functional teams.
Become an expert in CaptivateIQ and in sales commission structures, applying best-practice calculation design across a range of plan types.
Collaborate with Product Managers, Customer Success Managers, and Sales throughout the engagement.
Proactively identify and escalate project or account risks before they impact the customer or the timeline.
Maintain billable utilization against your target, balancing active implementation work with team commitments and initiatives that drive broader organizational impact.
Proactively define and adopt team best practices that raise the bar for delivery quality.
What You'll Bring
-
Background in sales compensation — as a consultant, or as an administrator/practitioner using a comp tool in-house.
6+ years of experience as a consultant or implementation professional, with demonstrated project leadership (managing other consultants is not required).
Strong grasp of data modeling, formulas, and spreadsheet/database tools (Excel or similar); comfort with object-oriented and relational data concepts.
Excellent time management — able to move seamlessly between client meetings and hands-on build work, prioritizing across multiple engagements.
Friendly, obsessively customer-focused, and service-oriented, with strong problem-solving instincts.
Strong communication, analytical, and collaboration skills; comfortable working independently while knowing when to seek guidance.
A startup mindset — comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-changing environment, with a clear sense of why that environment is the right fit for you.
Background at a SaaS/technology company.
Nice to Have
SQL experience.
Experience with AI implementation.
Experience with CaptivateIQ or a competitor's sales compensation software (e.g., Xactly, Varicent, SAP Commissions).
Proficiency with CRMs (e.g., Salesforce) or ERPs (e.g., NetSuite).
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.

Tips for Your Remote Professional Development Coach Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote professional development coach openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unrelated postings.
Show your virtual coaching delivery experience
Remote employers want proof you can run effective coaching sessions online. Document specific virtual engagements in your resume, noting the platforms you used and the outcomes your clients achieved through remote-only programs.
Build a written portfolio of coaching frameworks
Remote professional development coach roles depend on async communication. Prepare a concise document or slide deck showing the structured frameworks you use, how you deliver feedback digitally, and how you track client progress between sessions.
Prepare for async screening assignments
Many remote-first employers send written case studies or recorded coaching scenario prompts before interviews. Practice articulating your coaching methodology clearly in writing and in short video responses, since these often carry significant weight in remote hiring decisions.
Remote Professional Development Coach Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote professional development coach job?
Remote professional development coach roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction, strong written communication, and the ability to run coaching sessions and programs without in-person oversight. Employers screen for experience with virtual coaching platforms, async feedback delivery, and digital curriculum design. Showcasing results from previous remote or hybrid coaching engagements, along with fluency in tools like Zoom, Miro, or LMS platforms, gives you a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote professional development coachs?
Employers currently hiring remote professional development coachs include OptiMindHealth, Viatris, and BetterHelp, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology firms, distributed professional services companies, and ed-tech organizations are among the most active sectors for this role.
Can you get a remote professional development coach job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to manage your own workflow and clients from day one with minimal supervision. Candidates can build credibility through volunteer coaching, internal training facilitation, or certifications from recognized coaching bodies. Demonstrating async communication skills and a structured coaching framework in your application materials helps open the door when direct experience is limited.
Do you need a degree for remote professional development coach jobs?
Not always. Remote employers in this role weigh coaching certifications, documented client outcomes, and demonstrated facilitation skills heavily alongside or instead of a formal degree. Credentials from recognized bodies like ICF carry real weight, and a portfolio showing measurable professional growth results from past engagements can substitute meaningfully for a traditional academic background in many hiring processes.
Which industries hire the most remote professional development coachs?
Remote professional development coach roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, and Non-Profit & Social Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed teams that need structured coaching programs delivered digitally to support employee growth across multiple locations and time zones.
