About the role
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 Role We are looking for a Director of Product Management to lead the strategy and execution of Okta Privileged Access (OPA). You will be the overall owner of this key product area. This is a high-impact leadership role requiring a "hands-on coach", someone who can navigate high-level strategic planning with executives while staying close enough to the technical details to mentor a team of Product Managers through complex feature delivery. You will bridge the gap between traditional enterprise security needs and the modern, ephemeral
requirements of cloud infrastructure. What you’ll do: Lead & Mentor: Act as a player-coach for a high-performing team of PMs. You’ll be responsible for their professional growth, roadmap clarity, and day-to-day execution. Product Strategy: Define the multi-year vision for OPA, ensuring we outpace both legacy vault competitors and modern infrastructure-access startups. Hands-on Execution: Directly contribute to product specs, technical architecture discussions, and customer-facing documentation when
the team needs an extra set of expert eyes. Market Disruption: Identify opportunities to integrate PAM more deeply into the Okta Identity platform, driving "Zero Standing Privileges" as a standard for our customers. Customer & Sales Partnership: Serve as the primary subject matter expert for PAM in high-stakes customer engagements and industry events (Oktane, RSA). Cross-functional Alignment: Work closely with Engineering, UX, and Product Marketing to ensure the product we build is both technically robust and easy to adopt. What you’ll bring: Subject Matter Expertise: Deep experience in either "Traditional PAM" (e.g., CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea) and/or "Modern Infrastructure" (e.g., HashiCorp, Teleport) Leadership Track Record: 5+ years of experience managing Product Managers, with a proven ability to scale teams and foster a culture of technical excellence. "Hands-on" Skills: You are not afraid to dive into the weeds of SSH, RDP, Kubernetes, or Secrets Management. You understand the "how" as much as the "why." Strategic Thinking: 10+ years of total PM experience in the Security or Identity space, with a history of shipping SaaS products at scale. Communication: Ability to translate complex security concepts into a compelling narrative for both DevOps engineers and C-level executives. Education: BS/MS in Computer Science or a related technical field; MBA is a plus. Okta’s Values: Love our customers: We’re obsessed with helping them succeed. Never stop innovating: We’re always looking for a better way. Act with integrity: We’re honest, ethical, and transparent. Be transparent: We share information freely and proactively. Empower our people: We give our team the autonomy to do their best work. #LI-Hybrid #LI-MM P25170_3443414 The annual base salary range for this position for candidates located in the San Francisco Bay area is between: $258,000 — $355,000 USD Below is the annual base salary range for candidates located in California (excluding San Francisco Bay Area), Colorado, Illinois, New York and Washington.
