Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. 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. About the Role As Senior Product Manager, Policies, you own product strategy and execution for Okta's authentication policy roadmap. The Policies team owns how Okta evaluates risk and context to decide when, how, and whether a user, machine, or agentic identity is allowed to authenticate and stay authenticated. This includes Application Sign-On Policy, Global Session Policy, Okta Account Management Policy (OAMP), and Device Signal Collection Policy as well as the underlying Policy Framework, Policy API, and Auth Pipeline that power them. Policies is foundational to the entire Okta product portfolio as it's the decision layer that sits between every authentication event and the security experience a customer wants for their end users. You'll work closely with engineering, design, other product teams, and cross-functional stakeholders across Okta's platform to ensure policy capabilities evolve strategically, including how policy changes are rolled out and managed at scale (change management / identity operations).

Your default is to bring people in early and often to inform a blended, stronger direction Nice to Have * Experience with policy engines, rules-based decisioning systems, or risk-scoring products * Experience with change management tooling, feature flagging, or safe-rollout systems at scale * Experience with non-human identity or agentic identity use cases as they relate to authentication policy #LI-MM #LI-Hybrid P10291_3522108 The annual base salary range for this position for candidates located in the San Francisco Bay area is between: $189,000—$260,000 USD Below is the annual base salary range for candidates located in California (excluding San Francisco Bay Area), Colorado, Illinois, New York and Washington.
