About The Position

Optum is a global organization that delivers care, aided by technology to help millions of people live healthier lives. The work you do with our team will directly improve health outcomes by connecting people with the care, pharmacy benefits, data and resources they need to feel their best. Here, you will find a culture guided by inclusion, talented peers, comprehensive benefits and career development opportunities. Come make an impact on the communities we serve as you help us advance health optimization on a global scale. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together. AI agents, digital workers, and machine identities are rapidly becoming part of enterprise systems, creating new challenges around authentication, authorization, governance, and auditability. We are seeking a senior technical product leader to define and drive the strategy for machine and agentic identity across the Identity Platform. This role owns the roadmap for non-human identity capabilities, including how AI agents and machine identities are authenticated, authorized, governed, and managed at scale. You will partner with engineering, security, architecture, and AI platform teams to shape platform strategy, evaluate vendors, guide architecture decisions, and lead build-vs-buy recommendations. There is no established playbook—you will create it. This is a 0→1 product opportunity for someone who can combine deep identity expertise, strong authorization knowledge, and enterprise product leadership to define a rapidly evolving space and influence how identity supports the next generation of AI-enabled systems. You’ll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges. For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week.

Requirements

8+ years of product management experience in platform, infrastructure, security, identity, or similarly technical product domains
Demonstrated experience owning product strategy, roadmap, and 0→1 delivery of enterprise-scale platform capabilities, including defining success metrics and measurable business or technical outcomes
Demonstrated experience in IAM, CIAM, identity platforms, cybersecurity, or related identity domains, including authentication, authorization, identity governance, and modern identity standards such as OAuth, OIDC, SAML, and SCIM
Experience evaluating technology vendors, leading proof-of-concepts, and making build-vs-buy recommendations
Experience translating highly technical concepts into product strategy, priorities, roadmaps, and measurable business outcomes
Demonstrated understanding of AI agents, agentic workflows, machine identities, or non-human identity concepts in modern enterprise environments
Proven ability to influence engineering, architecture, security, and business stakeholders without direct authority

Nice To Haves

Experience with non-human identity, workload identity, machine identity, service identity, or agentic AI identity patterns
Experience with IAM/CIAM platforms, identity governance, privileged access, federation, identity lifecycle, customer identity, or workforce identity domains
Experience evaluating, integrating, or defining platform products and vendor capabilities for developers, application teams, security teams, or enterprise product teams
Experience operating in enterprise-scale or regulated environments such as healthcare, financial services, government, or other high-trust domains
Experience designing product strategy where human identity, machine identity, risk, governance, and AI-enabled systems intersect
Hands-on familiarity with modern IAM, authentication, and authorization standards such as OAuth 2.0 / OAuth 2.1, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML, SCIM, RBAC, ABAC, and policy-based access control
Proven exposure to emerging workload identity or agentic identity standards and patterns, such as SPIFFE, secure service-to-service identity frameworks, Shared Signals Framework / SSF, or delegated authorization patterns
Proven technical background in engineering, architecture, security, identity, infrastructure, or platform product management

Responsibilities

Own the product strategy and roadmap for machine identity, non-human identity, workload identity, and agentic identity capabilities across the Identity Platform
Partner with engineering, security, architecture, AI platform, and product teams to define platform capabilities and drive alignment across human and non-human identity domains through influence rather than direct authority
Define how identity supports authentication, authorization, governance, ownership, accountability, auditability, and lifecycle management for AI agents and machine identities
Shape identity platform strategy across authentication, authorization, governance, standards, observability, and interoperability while leading vendor evaluations, proof-of-concepts, and build-vs-buy decisions
Translate an ambiguous, emerging problem space into clear product strategy, priorities, requirements, success metrics, and measurable outcomes for 0→1 platform capabilities
Communicate complex identity and agentic AI concepts to senior leaders, technical stakeholders, and cross-functional partners
Stay current on rapidly evolving identity, AI agent, and workload identity standards, patterns, and vendor capabilities
