As a strategic and trusted advisor, you will shift customer mindsets, create demand for our solutions, and drive higher business value and executive alignment between Okta and our customers.

The ideal candidate embodies a high-performance mindset-consistently raising the bar, turning action into traction, thriving in change, and moving fast to simplify and repeat. It requires complementing Okta's innovations, efficiencies and capabilities with our valued customers' business objectives and priorities thereby driving higher business value and executive alignment between Okta and our customers, but it also demands a leader who can navigate these constraints with urgency and an obsession for concrete outcomes.

In this role, you will:

• Deliver Customer Value: Develop and nurture strong customer and C-Level relationships to understand their business goals and needs, ensuring retention, happiness, and a significant return on investment.

• Win as a team: Champion customers internally and mobilize cross-functional partners across Sales, Support, Engineering, and Product to resolve escalations and lead coordinated success motions.
• Represent the customer's voice: Gather and surface feedback that drives continuous improvement, actively challenging what needs to evolve.
• Guide customers forward: Identify and communicate relevant new products and features, helping customers adopt and benefit from Okta's agentic capabilities.
• Identify renewal risk and collaborate with internal teams to remediate, ensure a successful renewal, and proactively spot expansion opportunities.

You will thrive in this role if you:

• Have 5+ years of experience in a customer success, account management, or consulting role, managing relationships with large, complex enterprises (preferably working with a SaaS-based technical enterprise product).
• Have a solid track record of delivering and scaling an exceptional customer experience, choosing ambition over comfort and consistently raising your own bar.
• Demonstrate strong emotional intelligence and an elite level of relationship management and executive stakeholder development.
• Possess exceptional presentation and communication skills, particularly when engaging with C-level executives to align technical goals with business value.
• Have strong listening and analytical skills with the demonstrated ability to ask effective questions, dive deep, understand the customer's business priorities, and anticipate their needs.
• Exhibit strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively and cross-functionally to win as a team.
• Have good technical and problem-solving skills coupled with the ability to provide quick resolution to problems. Experience in enterprise security tools is preferred.
