Overview

Get to know Okta. Okta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology, anywhere, on any device or app. Our flexible and neutral products, Okta Platform and Auth0 Platform, provide secure access, authentication, and automation, placing identity at the core of business security and growth. At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.

This Staff Technical Marketing Manager role is a highly strategic, cross-functional position, where you will help architect our technical narratives for Okta's Workforce products.

Your mission is to embody our mantra: “Show, don’t tell”. You will create authoritative, technical content that empowers customers, partners, analysts, and our field teams to successfully design and implement their most complex projects. This requires a high degree of technical expertise, strategic vision, and the ability to mentor and scale your impact across the organization.

Job Duties and Responsibilities

• Define, develop, and deploy technical demos as the foundational, high-impact assets of our 'Show, don’t tell' strategy. Supplement these with clear, authoritative content, including white papers and blog posts, to showcase the value of the Okta Platform.
• Serve as a technical subject matter expert for Okta Workforce products and solutions. This includes a deep understanding of how our authentication, authorization, and user management products are built and consumed, and how platform services deliver customization and extensibility.
• Drive strategy with product management to validate complex, multi-product use cases and design and champion reference architectures.
• Maintain a deep, authoritative understanding of the identity and access management technology landscape, using this insight to influence product and marketing strategy.
• Mentor junior technical marketers and field team members, setting a high bar for content quality, clarity, technical accuracy, and strategic alignment.
• Partner strategically with the product marketing team to understand the most complex identity challenges of the world’s largest organizations and how Okta’s solutions solve those problems.
• Lead subject matter expert engagement for strategic events, key analyst briefs, high-priority ISV integrations, product betas, and major launches.

Minimum Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• 7+ years of technical / product marketing, product management, or sales engineering experience for an enterprise IaaS or SaaS company or developer platform.
• Advanced capability to build complex, integrated demos that require software development knowledge (such as the use of APIs and Webhooks), 3rd party solutions (such as Salesforce, Slack, Microsoft, Crowdstrike).
• Extensive, proven track record of marketing to a highly technical audience (e.g., developers, architects, security leaders) within large organizations.
• A significant portfolio of high-quality technical marketing content. (Samples are highly encouraged!)
• Proven and deep knowledge of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) industry and technologies - such as OIDC, SAML, and SCIM.
• Experience with AI technologies and tools.
• Demonstrated knowledge of common directory services, such as Active Directory, Azure AD, and LDAP.
• Experience with video and design tools such as Adobe Premiere/After Effects, Camtasia, and Figma.
• Excellent program management skills, with the ability to manage multiple high-priority initiatives in a dynamic environment.
