Staff Product Marketing Manager, Identity Security
- Reporting to the Senior Manager, Product Marketing, this role is a critical lead in Okta’s security journey. We are looking for a Staff Product Marketing Manager who will help tell Okta’s security story in a compelling, cohesive, and relevant way. Your goal is to elevate Okta’s foundational access technologies from a utility to a strategic security imperative, evangelizing the need for identity-centric security in an AI-driven threat landscape.
- The ideal candidate will be a unique blend of technologist and business strategist—someone who can dive deep into technical architecture while crafting portfolio-level value propositions that resonate with both CISOs and practitioners. Beyond strategy and content, you must be a self-motivated, execution-oriented individual who stays focused on delivering outcomes in a fast-paced environment.
What you’ll be doing
- Identity Security GTM Strategy: Build and execute the go-to-market strategy for Okta’s foundational access and authentication platform. You will define how core authentication, adaptive policy, and recovery flows serve as the first line of defense against modern identity-based attacks.
- Technical Evangelism & Demos: Move beyond high-level messaging to create "show-not-tell" technical content. You will be responsible for building and delivering product demonstrations, technical reference architectures, and briefs that prove Okta’s security value to technical buyers.
- Security Storytelling: Own the messaging, positioning, and competitive differentiation for our core access technologies. You must take "under-the-hood" technology and turn it into a simple, urgent, and business-focused story that highlights resilience and risk mitigation.
- AI-Driven Identity Leadership: Define the strategy for securing the new wave of AI. This includes establishing Okta's point of view on managing AI agents as identities and ensuring the access layer is hardened for an automated, high-velocity threat landscape.
- Cross-Functional Activation: Partner with Product Management, Engineering, and Sales to build technical buyer-focused assets—including technical comparisons, FAQs, and field enablement materials—specifically designed for the Global 2000.
- Analyst & Industry Presence: Represent Okta at security events to raise our profile and establish a unique POV. Engage with analysts to ensure Okta’s foundational security capabilities are recognized as the core of a modern security posture.
What you’ll bring to the role
- Domain Expertise: 8+ years of experience as a product marketer or product manager in cybersecurity or identity management (IAM, AD, or Entra ID). You know who the players are, where the gaps lie, and how to win.
- Hands-on Technical Proficiency: A technologist at heart. You must have a track record of supporting technical evaluations, and you must be comfortable configuring and demoing the product to technical buyers.
- Execution-Oriented Storytelling: Proven ability to take "under-the-hood" technology and turn it into an emotional and urgent business story. You know how to rise above the noise and create a sense of urgency.
- Strategic Integration: An understanding of how foundational identity signals (like MFA and policy) feed into broader security outcomes like threat detection and incident response.
- Stakeholder Management: Experience managing senior stakeholders with differing priorities and a high sense of urgency to drive end-to-end GTM initiatives.
Extra Credit if you have
- CS Degree or a strong technical background in systems architecture or engineering.
- Deep experience with modern identity protocols and securing hybrid environments (Cloud and On-Premises).
- Experience in the AI space, specifically regarding the security implications of LLMs and agentic workflows.
