This includes establishing Okta's point of view on managing AI agents as identities and ensuring the access layer is hardened for an automated, high-velocity threat landscape.

You know who the players are, where the gaps lie, and how to win. Hands-on Technical Proficiency: A technologist at heart. You must have a track record of supporting technical evaluations, and you must be comfortable configuring and demoing the product to technical buyers. Execution-Oriented Storytelling: Proven ability to take "under-the-hood" technology and turn it into an emotional and urgent business story. You know how to rise above the noise and create a sense of urgency. Strategic Integration: An understanding of how foundational identity signals (like MFA and policy) feed into broader security outcomes like threat detection and incident response. Stakeholder Management: Experience managing senior stakeholders with differing priorities and a high sense of urgency to drive end-to-end GTM initiatives.
