About The Position

This role is for a Principal Product Manager focused on Identity and Access Management (IAM) Security and Agentic Identity at Okta. The position is part of the "Okta on Okta" team, acting as Customer Zero to test and refine cutting-edge features before they are released to the wider market. The role requires a mature, customer-obsessed, and technically curious individual who can drive strategy, influence product roadmaps, and manage the lifecycle of new features from Alpha through Early Availability (EA). The focus areas include AI Agent & Agentic Identity Security, Next-Gen Guardrails, Hardware-Bound Session Security, and Advanced Threat & Posture Management. The individual will be responsible for defining authentication and authorization patterns for AI agents, managing token exchange and security gateways, architecting defenses against session cookie theft, and integrating Identity Threat Protection and Identity Security Posture Management.

Requirements

Demonstrated success operating at a Principal level within Product Management, Technical Program Management, or Enterprise Architecture.
Experience in IAM technologies, developer platforms (like Auth0), enterprise security, or machine-to-machine infrastructure is highly valued.
Proven ability to lead through influence is paramount.
A strong conceptual and technical grasp of how AI agents, LLM applications, security gateways, and developer APIs handle authentication, authorization, and modern communication patterns (like MCP and OAuth 2.0).
A strong technical understanding of modern identity threat vectors (AiTM phishing, info-stealer malware, session hijacking) and how cryptographic hardware-binding (TPM, Secure Enclave) protects session state.
A track record of successfully influencing product roadmaps and engineering priorities across highly matrixed, global organizations without direct reporting authority.
Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills; the ability to maintain composure and produce concrete action plans from incomplete, conflicting, or highly ambiguous inputs.
Elite presentation, verbal, and written communication skills, with the confidence to brief executive leadership and translate deep technical architecture into compelling business value.

Responsibilities

Develop and refine the strategic roadmap for the Identity Security portfolio.
Act as a key stakeholder who directly shapes and prioritizes the core Okta and Auth0 Product roadmaps based on internal deployment findings.
Ensure that as Alpha features are released, Okta’s internal IAM team rigorously tests them and provides real-time feedback through the SDLC process.
Own the internal rollout of these features through Early Availability (EA), driving adoption so Okta successfully "drinks its own champagne."
Design the internal rollout blueprint and external product strategy for how Okta DBSSO and Chrome DBSC complement one another, creating a layered defense that protects corporate endpoints from token and cookie exfiltration.
Define the operational and technical guardrails for deploying AI Agents internally and externally—ensuring secure integration via identity gateways, downscoped runtime permissions, and an unbreakable audit trail.
Act as the primary liaison between business units, development, and engineering teams.
Lead planning activities, author comprehensive PRDs/user stories, and prioritize features within Scrum/Kanban frameworks.
Define and monitor KPI-based reporting to provide the VP of IAM and executive leadership with clear visibility into portfolio scope, security coverage, and testing velocity across human and non-human identities.
