Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence. This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. Okta is looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to join our Toronto team, where you will operate as a senior individual contributor partnering with Engineering, Product Management, and Design to lead programs of large cross-organizational scope. You will drive initiatives spanning multiple teams and multiple product and technical areas, with cross-team dependencies and some ambiguity or risk, delivering outcomes with clear business value and impact. The qualified candidate will bring strong TPM expertise honed across large-scale SaaS programs, along with the judgment to work with high autonomy and accountability, make independent decisions for the team, and take informed risks. You are a self-motivated individual who thrives on ambiguity and competing priorities, and who is ready to grow into broader organizational influence over time. JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: * Own and drive programs of large cross-org scope, spanning multiple teams and multiple product and technical areas, with high autonomy and accountability for successful outcomes. * Develop and implement the frameworks and methods that support program goals and successful outcomes across teams, management, and organizational leadership. * Structure and lead continuous and/or time-bound initiatives with cross-team dependencies by clarifying priorities, enabling execution of deliverables, and providing continuous transparency to stakeholders. * Serve as the overall program owner, working closely with team members to guide and coach them, while enabling the team to be empowered and accountable. * Be the program's voice to leadership, partners, and stakeholders, maintaining overall alignment; be on the front lines to handle replans, scope changes, and business pivots while keeping the team cohesive and progressing. * Anticipate and mitigate risk by maintaining close involvement with team goals and challenges, applying technical and domain expertise, and keeping the big picture in view; see beyond the immediate horizon to proactively identify risks and implement mitigations or contingencies. * Partner with leadership to understand organizational goals and priorities, incorporating them into program strategy, planning, and delivery decisions. * Elevate the throughput and effectiveness of teams and individuals; act as an advisor and mentor to less senior TPMs, leveraging your expertise and experience as an example for others. * Champion continuous improvement and agile best practices, looking for ways to optimize or push boundaries at a broader program level, and bring data-driven proposals for change to leadership for buy-in. MINIMUM REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES: * 8+ years of Technical Program Management experience, with a demonstrated track record operating at a Senior or Staff level on large-scale, cross-organizational SaaS programs. * Demonstrable experience navigating interdependencies affecting complex, cross-organizational programs (product and engineering alignment, engagement models, communications, and change management). * Experience driving programs end-to-end, from inception through General Availability and go-to-market. * Broad systemic understanding across technical disciplines, with solid technical understanding of product functionality, fundamental security concepts, and customer value; able to advise and consult with other teams on program approaches and best practices. * Experience interacting with leadership at all levels to strategize, advise, and build strong alignment on plans, progress, and desired outcomes. * Experience mentoring and coaching less senior TPMs. * Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging for audiences ranging from individual contributors to senior leadership. * Strong leadership skills; able to independently influence and resolve conflict across teams with competing priorities. * Self-starter who thrives in an ambiguous, fast-paced, and constantly changing environment. EDUCATION AND TRAINING: * Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. * Training in Agile and Scrum preferred. #LI-HYBRID #LI-SH1 #P8305_3573441 Below is the annual salary range for candidates located in Canada.
