This is an opportunity to do career-defining work in a mission-driven environment.
Responsibilities
- Develop and refine the strategic roadmap for the Identity Security portfolio.
- Act as a key stakeholder who directly shapes and prioritizes the core Okta and Auth0 Product roadmaps based on internal deployment findings.
- Ensure Okta’s internal IAM team rigorously tests Alpha features and provides real-time feedback through the SDLC process.
- Own the internal rollout of features through Early Availability (EA), driving adoption.
- Design the internal rollout blueprint and external product strategy for Okta DBSSO and Chrome DBSC.
- Define the operational and technical guardrails for deploying AI Agents internally and externally.

- Define and monitor KPI-based reporting to provide clear visibility into portfolio scope, security coverage, and testing velocity.
Requirements
- Demonstrated success operating at a Principal level within Product Management, Technical Program Management, or Enterprise Architecture.
- Experience in IAM technologies, developer platforms (like Auth0), enterprise security, or machine-to-machine infrastructure is highly valued.
- Proven ability to lead through influence is paramount.
- A strong conceptual and technical grasp of how AI agents, LLM applications, security gateways, and developer APIs handle authentication, authorization, and modern communication patterns.
- A strong technical understanding of modern identity threat vectors and how cryptographic hardware-binding protects session state.
- A track record of successfully influencing product roadmaps and engineering priorities across highly matrixed, global organizations without direct reporting authority.
- Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills; the ability to maintain composure and produce concrete action plans from incomplete, conflicting, or highly ambiguous inputs.
