We are looking for a Staff Product Marketing Manager who will help tell Okta's security story in a compelling, cohesive, and relevant way. Your goal is to elevate Okta's foundational access technologies from a utility to a strategic security imperative, evangelizing the need for identity‑centric security in an AI‑driven threat landscape. The ideal candidate is a unique blend of technologist and business strategist—a person who can dive deep into technical architecture while crafting portfolio‑level value propositions that resonate with both CISOs and practitioners. Beyond strategy and content, you must be a self‑motivated, execution‑oriented individual who stays focused on delivering outcomes in a fast‑paced environment. What you'll be doing Identity Security GTM Strategy: Build and execute the go‑to‑market strategy for Okta's foundational access and authentication platform. Define how core authentication, adaptive policy, and recovery flows serve as the first line of defense against modern identity‑based attacks.

Build and deliver product demonstrations, technical reference architectures, and briefs that prove Okta's security value to technical buyers. Security Storytelling: Own the messaging, positioning, and competitive differentiation for our core access technologies. Turn “under‑the‑hood” technology into a simple, urgent, business‑focused story that highlights resilience and risk mitigation. AI‑Driven Identity Leadership: Define the strategy for securing the new wave of AI—establish Okta's point of view on managing AI agents as identities and harden the access layer for an automated, high‑velocity threat landscape. Cross‑Functional Activation: Partner with Product Management, Engineering, and Sales to build technical buyer‑focused assets—including technical comparisons, FAQs, and field enablement materials—specifically designed for the Global 2000. Analyst & Industry Presence: Represent Okta at security events to raise our profile and establish a unique POV. Engage with analysts to ensure Okta's foundational security capabilities are recognized as the core of a modern security posture. What you'll bring to the role Domain Expertise: 8+ years of experience as a product marketer or product manager in cybersecurity or identity management (IAM, AD, or EntraID). Know who the players are, where the gaps lie, and how to win. Hands‑on Technical Proficiency: A technologist at heart. Track record of supporting technical evaluations and 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. Rise above the noise and create a sense of urgency. Strategic Integration: Understand how foundational identity signals (like MFA and policy) feed into broader security outcomes such as threat detection and incident response. Stakeholder Management: Experience managing senior stakeholders with differing priorities and driving end‑to‑end GTM initiatives. Extra Credit if you have CS Degree or a strong technical background in systems architecture or engineering.
