The Security Trust & Culture team enhances customer trust in Okta's identity services and serves as a strategic resource for go-to-market teams.

Responsibilities

Act as a bilingual "technical translator," converting deep-dive engineering specifications and vulnerability reports into clear, risk-based narratives.
Serve as the primary security advocate for Field Account Teams to provide technical clarity on Okta’s security posture, roadmap, and incident response protocols.
Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to "pre-digest" upcoming features and security enhancements for Field teams.
Take end-to-end ownership of highly technical security questionnaires and due-diligence requests, partnering with internal subject matter experts to ensure accurate, timely, and high-quality responses.
Drive technological changes within Customer Assurance by identifying and implementing AI and automation strategies.
Train and empower regional Go-To-Market and Sales teams on standard engagement protocols.
Collaborate with the Security Trust & Culture team and Regional CSOs to develop, publish, and maintain forward-facing security collateral, FAQs, and field communications.
Work within a global team, participating or leading global handoffs between American timezones and European or Asian regions.

Strong oral, written, and presentation skills.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to distill complex technical concepts into clear, concise responses for both technical customers and internal executive stakeholders.
Ability to engage in "whiteboard-level" security discussions with customer CISOs and architects, specifically regarding cloud infrastructure, API security, and encryption standards.
Demonstrated experience managing the "tension" between technical limitations and customer expectations, with a knack for finding creative ways to say "yes" to security requirements through compensating controls.
Strong ability to pivot from a "checker" to a "consultant" role.
