Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of product management experience, ideally in platform, infrastructure, or AI/ML-related domains
- Demonstrated success leading cross-functional product initiatives from concept to scale in complex, fast-paced environments
- Deep understanding of enterprise software, technical platforms, and how internal users interact with systems

- Ability to collaborate deeply with engineers, influence architectural decisions, and contribute to product-level technical strategy
- Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and storytelling skills
- A strategic mindset, systems thinking, and a bias toward action and iteration
What the job involves
- As a Principal Product Manager, you will own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for Okta’s internal AI & automation platform
- You’ll work side-by-side with engineering leadership to define platform capabilities that serve teams across the enterprise — accelerating productivity, improving service delivery, and enabling AI-first innovation at scale
- This role is ideal for a strategic, technically adept product leader who can navigate complexity, champion user-centric design, and deliver impact through platform thinking
- You’ll collaborate deeply with engineering, data science, security, and internal business teams to shape the foundation of Okta’s AI-powered future
- Define and own the product vision and roadmap for internal AI & automation capabilities — including LLM platforms, workflow orchestration, intelligent agents, and self-service tooling
- Collaborate closely with engineering leadership and Architects/Principal Engineers to co-lead product development, architecture decisions, and technical trade-offs
- Engage stakeholders across the business — including other Business Technology Teams, HR, Finance, GTM and Customer Experience — to identify high-impact use cases and prioritize investments
- Translate enterprise needs into scalable platform capabilities that are secure, governed, and reusable across domains
- Establish success metrics and lead product discovery, experimentation, and iteration cycles to ensure adoption and value delivery
- Drive cross-functional alignment and storytelling around GenAI/automation strategy, use case prioritization, and responsible AI practices
- Stay on top of emerging technologies and industry trends in AI, automation, and enterprise IT — identifying opportunities for differentiation and acceleration
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.
