Proposal Manager Job Description The Proposal Management Team The Proposal Management team handles end-to-end RFx processes at Okta. We are an agile, highly collaborative team supporting Okta’s most critical, high-value strategic RFx initiatives for our go-to-market organization. The Proposal Management function sits strategically within Okta’s global Presales Organization. Proposal Manager Opportunity We are seeking a forward-thinking Proposal Manager to elevate and scale our global RFx operations. If you view RFPs not as an administrative chore, but as a strategic puzzle to be solved using cutting-edge technology, creative storytelling, and data-driven insights, you’ll fit right in. In this role, you will act as both a process architect and a strategic advisor. You will own the end-to-end proposal lifecycle across our global markets. You will partner closely with international Account Executives, Solution Engineers, Product teams, and Executives to build compelling, winning responses for world-class brands. This position moves far beyond traditional, reactive document management. Reporting to the Manager of Global Proposal Management, you will champion modern, AI-integrated workflows and serve as a trusted advisor to our deal teams. Crucially, you will look at the macro picture, analyzing trends across our global submissions to provide actionable intelligence that directly shapes Okta's long-term product and commercial strategies. What you’ll be doing Architect & Advise: Own and orchestrate the end-to-end proposal lifecycle for high-value enterprise and strategic accounts across global markets, acting as a strategic consultant to deal teams rather than just an administrator. AI-Driven Content Crafting: Serve as the power-user and global champion for our proposal tech stack. Use AI to generate, refine, and optimize responses, while maintaining Okta’s unique global brand voice. Global Collaboration: Partner seamlessly with international, cross-functional stakeholders, including Sales, Solution Engineering, Professional Services, Product, Security, and Legal, to synthesize multi-contributor inputs into a unified, compelling narrative. Data-Driven Strategy: Analyze post-RFP data and global submission trends to deliver actionable insights to leadership, directly influencing Okta’s product roadmap and commercial go-to-market strategies. Creative Storytelling: Review, edit, and elevate complex technical responses, translating them into clear, value-driven prose that highlights Okta’s competitive differentiators and aligns with specific account win-themes. Knowledge Management: Maintain, curate, and scale our global content repository, ensuring our foundational technical, security, and corporate messaging is always accurate, fresh, and readily accessible.
