Bachelor’s degree or relevant work experience
A strong communicator, written and verbal — you know how to connect
Comfortable juggling priorities and managing your time in a fast-paced environment
Self-motivated — you don’t wait to be told what to do, you figure it out (and ask questions when you’re stuck)
Coachable — you’re open to feedback and excited to get better, every day
Curious — you love to learn, explore, and ask “why?”
Collaborative — you believe that success is a team sport, and you're all in

. As a BDR at Okta, you'll help tell our story, spark valuable conversations, and play a key role in building pipeline for one of the top sales orgs in tech
Engage inbound leads and qualify interest in Okta’s products — you’ll be the first human touchpoint for many of our future customers
Generate high-quality meetings and pipeline by creating thoughtful, relevant outreach via phone, email, and social
Conduct discovery calls to uncover real business problems — and tee up Account Executives to solve them
Use tools like Salesforce and Outreach to manage your book of business and stay organized
Hit your KPIs and quota — and have fun doing it, with team competitions, shout-outs, and mentorship

Our take

Okta started off as an identity company where organisations, large and small, could tap into the company to have a single sign-on interface to access all cloud applications now centralised. Okta has since expanded to provide identity management at the device as well as the server level.

The new approach towards network security is increasingly based on identification and authentication, and Okta is on track to become the go-to vendor in the space. They aim to do so by developing products that enable people to access applications and other tools more smoothly and securely than ever before.

Okta has taken strides towards expansion through significant employee growth and shuffling executive leadership. The company has also made lateral moves such as tackling governance concerns, opening up new paths for revenue.
