About The Position

As a Partner Marketing Manager for Technology Partnerships, you will be the demand generation architect behind Okta’s most strategic ISV partnerships. You are not just a marketer; you are a business leader responsible for defining how Okta and our leading technology partners win together in the market. Reporting to the Senior Director of Global Partner Marketing, you will operate with a high degree of autonomy, leading the end-to-end GTM strategy for a portfolio of Tier-1 technology partners. You are responsible for bringing joint innovation to market—including the development and launch of AI integrations with large platform partners—and ensuring these efforts translate into measurable pipeline and revenue impact. You will bridge product and sales, connecting technical integrations to clear customer value and scalable go-to-market execution.

Requirements

6+ years of experience in B2B tech marketing or alliances, ideally within high-growth SaaS environments.
Deep understanding of the Identity, Security, or Cloud Infrastructure landscape and ability to comfortably navigate technical concepts and translate them into business value.
Proven ability to move beyond one-off tactics to build global "marketing engines," thinking in systems and playbooks with a knack for re-imagining how Okta and its partner ecosystem deliver compounding value to customers.
A proactive, high-autonomy leader with a bias for action, exhibiting the ability to think strategically about full-funnel pipeline development while remaining "hands-on" to troubleshoot tactics and ensure tangible ROI.
Exceptional storyteller and persuasive communicator, skilled at distilling complex technical integrations into punchy, benefit-driven messaging and effective at presenting to C-suite stakeholders and technical audiences.
Mastery of the matrixed environment, with a proven track record of leading "v-teams" across PMM, Enablement, and Alliances without direct authority, driving alignment and execution.
Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field; or equivalent practical experience in the technology sector.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute the joint marketing strategy for Okta and with key ISV partners including Zscaler, Crowdstrike, Google and more, to drive new leads, increase consumption, and amplify our message in the market.
Partner with Product Marketing to "field-proof" joint messaging, transforming high-level technical value propositions into actionable, high-conversion marketing assets (e.g., co-branded pitch decks, solution briefs, and sales plays) that resonate with Okta’s global sales force.
Lead the design and global rollout of complex multi-partner and multi-channel "Always-On" marketing programs to create unified messaging, value propositions, and joint campaign architecture that captures new market opportunities.
Own the strategy for how the joint solution is positioned across webinars, digital demand gen, and major third-party events (e.g., RSAC, Zenith Live, Fal.Con).
Support the GTM strategy and execution for joint AI integrations with large platform partners, from launch planning through field activation, ensuring innovations are clearly positioned, enabled for sales, and translated into scalable demand generation and pipeline impact.
Act as the subject matter expert (SME) on the competitive landscape of your partner category, ensuring Okta remains the "integration of choice" for the ecosystem.
Monitor the performance of joint marketing plays and provide a "feedback loop" to PMM and Product, identifying which narratives are driving pipeline and which need to be pivoted.
Build and maintain high-level relationships with marketing and product leaders at partner organizations to secure premium sponsorship, co-marketing budget, and roadmap alignment.
Embed ISV partnerships within Okta’s highly cross-functional working teams, collaborating across alliances, product marketing, field marketing, demand gen, content, PR, and social.
Design "Scale" packages—repeatable marketing assets and frameworks—that allow regional marketing teams in EMEA and APJ to execute partner motions with speed and consistency.
Own the "Partner-Influenced Pipeline" and “Marketing Attached” targets, being responsible for the health of the funnel generated through co-marketing activities.
Utilize SFDC, Tableau, and Crossbeam to track ecosystem overlap, measure campaign attribution, and provide regular "State of the Union" reports to leadership.
