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.

Responsibilities

• Content development: Develop and refine bylines, scripts, talking points, social copy, and briefing materials for internal and external engagements that faithfully reflect the CEO’s vision and voice across audiences ranging from employees and customers to global media and boards of directors.
• Data driven optimization: Establish and maintain rigorous feedback loops and use engagement, sentiment, and reach data to continuously refine the CEO’s communication strategy, with an eye toward emerging trends in identity, AI, and enterprise tech.
• Agentic innovation: Continuously apply and explore how AI and agents can securely optimize and automate workflows and content development across the CEO’s communications platform.
• Event planning & production support: Serve as point of contact for production logistics across company events, including tech run-throughs, AV coordination, studio operations, and real-time event support.
• Stakeholder management: Design and own streamlined, scalable workflows for the end-to-end content lifecycle-from ideation and drafting through cross-functional, legal, and PR review, to distribution. Manage inputs, timelines, and deliverables across multiple stakeholders, often coordinating between executives and production/design teams to ensure alignment across all CEO materials.
• Operational excellence: The ideal candidate will thrive in and derive energy from a high-pressure, high-performing environment. Obsessive quality control and meticulous attention to detail are table stakes.
