About The Position

This role supports the team that owns our brand architecture, naming and messaging, brand health, the "Okta Secures AI" brand campaign, customer and partnership content, paid creator programs, our video content program, and brand copy. You will turn that broad portfolio of priorities into a real, sequenced plan and help make it ship, on time, in the open, and at the standard we set for ourselves. This is a hands-on operating role.
