Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human

Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence.

This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.

The Role

We are seeking a visionary, strategic, and highly technical VP of Product for Identity Management to lead two of our fastest-growing and most critical strategic pillars: Okta Identity Governance (OIG) and Okta Privileged Access (OPA).

As the VP of Product, you will own the end-to-end product strategy, roadmap, and execution for our modern Workforce Identity Cloud governance and privileged access solutions. You will lead a high-performing team of product managers, collaborating closely with engineering, design, marketing, and sales to redefine how enterprises manage identity lifecycle, compliance, and high-risk access in a cloud-first world.

Key Responsibilities

• Product Vision & Strategy: Define and execute the multi-year product strategy for OIG and OPA. Position Okta as the dominant leader in unified Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM).
• Team Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and inspire a world-class team of Product Managers. Foster a culture of high ownership, accountability, and user-centric design.
• Execution & Delivery: Work hand-in-hand with Engineering leadership to deliver scalable, secure, and intuitive enterprise-grade products. Maintain a rigorous focus on speed-to-market without sacrificing quality.
• Market & Customer Insights: Spend time with Fortune 500 CISOs, IT leaders, and industry analysts (Gartner, Forrester) to deeply understand market trends, regulatory compliance needs, and customer pain points.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to define Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies, pricing, packaging, and enablement that accelerate pipeline and adoption.
• Platform Integration: Ensure seamless integration of OIG and OPA within the broader Okta Identity Cloud ecosystem, delivering a unified "single pane of glass" experience for our customers.

What You Bring (Qualifications)

• Required Domain Expertise: Deep, practical experience within the Identity & Access Management (IAM) landscape is strictly required, specifically holding a proven track record of designing, building, or scaling sophisticated Identity Governance (IGA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions.
• Experience: 12+ years of product management experience in enterprise SaaS, with at least 5+ years in a senior leadership role (Director/VP) managing multi-product portfolios.
• Scale: Proven track record of scaling enterprise software products from early traction to $100M+ in ARR.
• Technical Acumen: Ability to converse deeply with engineers about cloud architecture, APIs, zero-trust security frameworks, and AI/ML-driven automation.
• Strategic Clarity: Exceptional ability to distill complex, ambiguous market dynamics into a clear, actionable product roadmap.
• Communication: A masterful storyteller who can inspire internal teams, command the room with executive stakeholders, and build trust with enterprise customers.
