What the job involves
- Okta is seeking a strategic, highly proactive, and tech-forward Senior Executive Assistant to partner directly with our Chief Product Officer (CPO)
- As the CPO’s operational right hand, you will optimize executive bandwidth, drive team cadence, and handle complex logistics across our global product organization.
- You are an early adopter of technology who actively leverages modern AI tools and workflow automation to draft executive communications, synthesize information, and eliminate routine administrative friction.
- Based in one of our core regional hubs (SF, Seattle, Chicago, NYC, or Toronto), you will oversee company offsite planning, manage high-touch customer engagements, evaluate speaking requests, and ensure monthly product team meetings execute seamlessly
- Strategic Calendar Architecture: Proactively manage a multi-time-zone calendar (PST through EST). Protect critical deep-work time for product strategy while balancing internal syncs, customer engagements, and public speaking duties
- Speaking Requests & Inbound Pipeline: Triage, evaluate, and track all incoming external and internal speaking invitations (keynotes, industry panels, podcasts, company town halls). Coordinate presentation deck prep, speaker briefs, and travel logistics
- Operational Triage & Smart Workflows: Serve as the strategic filter for incoming communications. Leverage automation and smart triage practices to filter requests, automate scheduling follow-ups, and surface urgent product/customer matters
- Monthly Product Team Meetings: Own end-to-end execution for monthly product leadership and team-wide syncs. Drive agenda setting, content/deck consolidation, tech logistics, and post-meeting action item tracking
- Onsites & Offsites Planning: Lead the end-to-end planning, budgeting, and execution for company/leadership onsites, regional team gatherings, executive retreats, and product summit events
- Executive Customer Engagements: Coordinate high-value customer briefings, Customer Advisory Board sessions, enterprise customer escalations, and cross-functional sales alignment meetings
- AI-Assisted Writing & Draft Preparation: Utilize generative AI tools to draft, refine, and edit internal communications, meeting summaries, briefing documents, and initial email responses matching the CPO’s tone
- Task & Process Automation: Proactively identify repetitive administrative workflows and implement AI-driven tools or automation to increase operational speed and efficiency
- Complex Travel & Multi-Hub Logistics: Organize seamless domestic and international/cross-border travel for multi-city hub visits, customer meetings, and offsite events
- Discretion & Security: Handle sensitive information regarding unannounced product roadmaps, organizational updates, acquisitions, and executive communications with complete confidentiality
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. It aims 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.
