We are looking for a highly mature, customer-obsessed, and technically curious Principal Product Manager to drive our Identity Security & Agentic Identity portfolio.
The Identity team's mission is to secure the world's identity connections while building the foundational trust layer for the modern enterprise.
As the Principal PM, you will drive the strategy and directly influence the product direction for Okta's premier identity security offerings across both our workforce and developer platforms:
- AI Agent & Agentic Identity Security: Leading the strategy for how Okta governs non-human, autonomous AI workloads across our entire product ecosystem
- O4AA (Okta for AI Agents) & A4AA (Auth0 for AI Agents): Defining authentication and authorization patterns for workforce and developer-facing AI agents
- Next-Gen Guardrails: Managing token exchange patterns, identity/security gateways, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to secure agent-to-data interactions
- Hardware-Bound Session Security: Architecting Okta's defense against session cookie thievery by leveraging cryptographically hardware-bound tokens
- Advanced Threat & Posture Management: Integrating Identity Threat Protection (ITP) for continuous risk evaluation and Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) to surface and remediate hidden risks across human and machine identities
Key responsibilities include:
- Roadmap Influence & Strategy: Develop and refine the strategic roadmap for the Identity Security portfolio

- Agentic Governance: Define the operational and technical guardrails for deploying AI Agents internally and externally
- Execution & Technical Delivery: Act as the primary liaison between business units, development, and engineering teams
- Metrics & Insights: Define and monitor KPI-based reporting to provide the VP of IAM and executive leadership with clear visibility into portfolio scope, security coverage, and testing velocity across human and non-human identities
Requirements:
- Professional Maturity & Experience: Demonstrated success operating at a Principal level within Product Management, Technical Program Management, or Enterprise Architecture
- AI & Developer Tech Literacy: A strong conceptual and technical grasp of how AI agents, LLM applications, security gateways, and developer APIs handle authentication, authorization, and modern communication patterns
- Session Security & Threat Literacy: A strong technical understanding of modern identity threat vectors and how cryptographic hardware-binding protects session state
- Strategic Influence: A track record of successfully influencing product roadmaps and engineering priorities across highly matrixed, global organizations
