At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences.
Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.
The Security team’s mission is to strengthen Okta’s position as the leading Identity-as-a- Service solutions through identifying and resolving risks to the employees, product, and most importantly, our customers.

We are looking for a self-starter, customer obsessed, curious, and empathetic product manager who enjoys discovering the customer requirements, innovating on their behalf, and developing experiences that raise the bar for security.
You will be instrumental in enabling Okta to be our first and best customer by implementing Okta capabilities and partnering closely with Okta Product teams to enhance our offerings. This position is ideal for someone who has had an engineering and architectural background within IGA. This role is pivotal in leading the implementation and adoption of our IGA platform, ensuring secure and efficient access to company systems, data, and applications.
This position has a high level of visibility, so you will need to be able to communicate clearly and compellingly at all levels of the company.
