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)
Own roadmap and prioritization for your product area, balancing customer requests, platform needs, and market/strategic differentiation
Collaborate with design and engineering to define, scope, and ship policies that have best-in-class user experience while meeting the security needs of Okta customers
Drive product direction for the Policy Framework, Policy API, and Auth Pipeline that underpin every policy evaluation across Okta
