Senior Product Manager, Identity Standard

The Corporate Development Team

The ISV Ecosystem team is a function within Corporate Development at Okta focused on expanding our breadth and depths of SaaS integrations, a C-level priority for the company. Our team was created to ensure SaaS ISVs (independent software vendors) have the knowledge, tools, and incentives to build and expand their integrations that support and/or extend our core product functionality. Okta's ecosystem is a core differentiator, and developing a scalable and programmatic approach to standards-based ecosystem development will be a critical driver to our next stage of growth.

The Senior Manager of Identity Standards opportunity

Reporting to the SVP, ISV Ecosystem in Corporate Development, this role will work in close partnership with Product, Engineering, Design, and Partnerships to build and expand our impact on industry standards across Okta, Auth0, and ISVs. This role will focus on the identity standards around SCIM, leading the industry in identity governance standards across application and AI management.

What you'll be doing

• Contribute to standards in the identity space, specifically relating to identity governance and threat protection.
• Provide a strong point of view how Okta should be leading identity governance standards vs. being reactive.
• Help guide Okta's proposed SCIM and related extensions through the standards process.
• Work with ISVs to evangelize best practices when building SCIM servers, increasing our integration breadth and depth.
• Collaborate on a roadmap that combines various identity governance features, like entitlements and security event tokens, and Okta product features in OIG and ITP. This will bridge the gap between what is needed in the standard and what Okta ships as products.

What you'll bring to the role & what we're looking for

• 5+ years of experience working with or on modern identity providers
• 3+ years of experience working with identity standards bodies
• Effective communicator, able to convey complex ideas in a clear, concise manner both verbally and in writing; comfortable in business and technical discussions.
• Travel to identity and governance conferences

Additional skills we value

• Experience in designing, reviewing, and documenting RESTful APIs
• Specific experience helping partners implement technical standards, particularly those involving provisioning and de-provisioning
• The ability to translate abstract standard requirements into concrete, shippable product features with clear value propositions for customers.
