Senior Product Manager, Okta Verified Identity

Okta•San Francisco, CA

7d•Hybrid

About The Position

The Okta Personal team is building the future of digital identity. The way we prove our identity online is undergoing a fundamental shift, moving from scanning physical documents to using secure, portable digital credentials. In a world with AI-driven fraud, one-time verification is no longer enough; the industry needs a reusable, tamper-proof way to prove identity at scale. To address this massive need, our focus is on building a Verifiable Digital Credentials (VDCs) platform to power this new ecosystem. VDCs are reusable digital records that prove identity, qualifications, or skills instantly, giving holders control to share only what's necessary. We are responsible for the infrastructure, user-facing features, and business of verifying, issuing, and holding VDCs for enterprise customers. We are a small team of engineers, product managers, and designers who are bringing Okta’s expertise in identity to define the future of VDCs, focusing on open standards and interoperability. As a Product Manager on the Okta Personal team, you’ll help us build a new VDC identity ecosystem from scratch, operating at the intersection of deep technical architecture, user experience, and broad market strategy in a highly ambiguous and standards-driven environment. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of digital identity by synthesizing complex protocols into a seamless, globally compliant platform, ultimately bringing to market a solution designed for massive scale—serving millions of users and thousands of enterprises.
