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

The Enterprise Technology Team

The Enterprise Technology team builds and delivers the secure, scalable systems that power how our business runs. Our People Technology Team sits at the heart of this work, overseeing the full Hire-to-Retire technical ecosystem—including core applications like Workday, Greenhouse, and Cornerstone—and ensuring these platforms evolve alongside the company's growth. We partner closely with HR, Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, and Business Operations to bring data-driven, compliant, and innovative solutions to life.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Director of People Technology, this role will serve as a Delivery Lead and Principal Product Analyst for Okta's People Technology portfolio, focused on the Growth & Talent pod. In this broad role, you will lead complex, multi-system initiatives spanning Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, Performance, Learning, and Career Development. You will serve as the crucial conduit between Product Management, Recruiting/Talent Acquisition leadership, Talent Management, and People Operations, driving technical execution against a prioritized backlog to align with Okta's strategic workforce goals.

Backlog & Execution Management

Drive delivery against a prioritized backlog for aligned Talent Acquisition and Talent Management stakeholder groups, ensuring successful project execution from start to finish.

Agile & Scrum Execution

Operate actively in a Scrum framework—breaking down complex epics and business requirements into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and actionable technical tasks while participating in sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives.

Process Innovation & AI Enablement

Utilize functional and technical talent domain expertise to identify opportunities to optimize, automate, and innovate recruitment workflows, employee learning paths, and internal mobility through modern technology and AI capabilities.

Impediment Resolution

Proactively identify and resolve project-level risks, cross-system integration blockers, and requirement trade-offs with Talent Acquisition and Talent Management stakeholders to ensure on-time delivery.

Mentorship & Influence

Guide project teams through uncertainty, facilitate technical scoping workshops, and provide mentorship to junior analysts and developers.

Stakeholder Partnership

Act as the primary conduit between Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, and technical delivery teams, owning and writing detailed functional requirements, business process flows, data mappings, and use cases.

Experience

10+ years of related experience in a professional People Technology / HRIS role with a Bachelor’s degree; or 6+ years with a Master’s degree.

Deep functional and technical knowledge of core Growth & Talent platforms, specifically Greenhouse (ATS), Cornerstone (LMS/L&D), and Workday Talent & Performance (Succession, Performance Reviews, Goals, Feedback, Skills).
