Role
Who you are
- We are seeking a visionary, strategic, and highly technical VP of Product for Identity Management to lead two of our fastest-growing and most critical strategic pillars: Okta Identity Governance (OIG) and Okta Privileged Access (OPA)
- Required Domain Expertise: Deep, practical experience within the Identity & Access Management (IAM) landscape is strictly required, specifically holding a proven track record of designing, building, or scaling sophisticated Identity Governance (IGA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions
- Experience: 12+ years of product management experience in enterprise SaaS, with at least 5+ years in a senior leadership role (Director/VP) managing multi-product portfolios
- Scale: Proven track record of scaling enterprise software products from early traction to $100M+ in ARR
- Technical Acumen: Ability to converse deeply with engineers about cloud architecture, APIs, zero-trust security frameworks, and AI/ML-driven automation
- Strategic Clarity: Exceptional ability to distill complex, ambiguous market dynamics into a clear, actionable product roadmap
- Communication: A masterful storyteller who can inspire internal teams, command the room with executive stakeholders, and build trust with enterprise customers
What the job involves
- As the VP of Product, you will own the end-to-end product strategy, roadmap, and execution for our modern Workforce Identity Cloud governance and privileged access solutions. You will lead a high-performing team of product managers, collaborating closely with engineering, design, marketing, and sales to redefine how enterprises manage identity lifecycle, compliance, and high-risk access in a cloud-first world
- Product Vision & Strategy: Define and execute the multi-year product strategy for OIG and OPA. Position Okta as the dominant leader in unified Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM)
- Team Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and inspire a world-class team of Product Managers. Foster a culture of high ownership, accountability, and user-centric design
- Execution & Delivery: Work hand-in-hand with Engineering leadership to deliver scalable, secure, and intuitive enterprise-grade products. Maintain a rigorous focus on speed-to-market without sacrificing quality
- Market & Customer Insights: Spend time with Fortune 500 CISOs, IT leaders, and industry analysts (Gartner, Forrester) to deeply understand market trends, regulatory compliance needs, and customer pain points
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to define Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies, pricing, packaging, and enablement that accelerate pipeline and adoption
- Platform Integration: Ensure seamless integration of OIG and OPA within the broader Okta Identity Cloud ecosystem, delivering a unified "single pane of glass" experience for our customers
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.
