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 Ecosystem Team

The Ecosystem team is a function within Product and Technology at Okta focused on expanding our breadth and depths of SaaS integrations, a C-level priority for the company. Our team was created to ensure SaaS ISVs (independent software vendors) have the knowledge, tools, and incentives to build and expand their integrations that support and/or extend our core product functionality. Okta’s ecosystem is a core differentiator, and developing a scalable and programmatic approach to standards-based ecosystem development will be a critical driver to our next stage of growth.

The Principal Product Manager of Identity Standards opportunity

Reporting to the SVP, ISV Ecosystem, this role will work in close partnership with Product, Engineering, Design, and Partnerships to build and expand our impact on industry standards across Okta, Auth0, and ISVs. This role will focus on the identity standards around the emerging Agentic ecosystem, leading the industry in identity governance standards across application and AI management.

What you’ll be doing

• Contribute to standards in the identity space, specifically relating to AI Agents and SaaS Security.
• Provide a strong point of view how Okta should be leading identity governance standards vs. being reactive.
• Help guide Okta and Auth0’s proposed changes to Agent Identity and Federation and related extensions through the standards process.
• Work with ISVs to evangelize best practices when building on top of Okta and Auth0, increasing our integration breadth and depth.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to bridge product roadmaps and standards development across Identity Governance, Identity Threat Protection, and AI security products
• Partner with Developer Success and Product Marketing teams to develop collateral and drive adoption of new standards.

What you’ll bring to the role & what we’re looking for

• 5+ years of experience working with or on modern identity providers
• 4+ years of experience as a product manager in the SaaS space.
• 3+ years of experience working with identity standards bodies
• Effective communicator, able to convey complex ideas in a clear, concise manner both verbally and in writing; comfortable in business and technical discussions.
• Travel to identity and security conferences, especially in Asia

Additional skills we value

• Experience in designing, reviewing, and documenting RESTful APIs
• Specific experience helping partners implement technical standards, particularly those involving provisioning and de-provisioning
• The ability to translate abstract standard requirements into concrete, shippable product features with clear value propositions for customers.
