About the role

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.

The Field Process and Systems Team

At Okta, the Field Process & Systems team serves as the strategic connective tissue between our Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy and the technology and processes that power it. We manage the end-to-end design of GTM workflows, optimize our global tech stack, and deploy scalable operational capabilities across our field organization. Our mission is to eliminate operational friction and accelerate growth by delivering data-backed, scalable process and system solutions. As a member of this team, you will work alongside experts in revenue operations, enterprise systems, and GTM strategy to ensure our tools and workflows allow our field organization to execute with speed and precision.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Manager, Field Process & Systems to serve as an operational problem-solver for our field organization. In this role, you will hold a deep, end-to-end understanding of our GTM technology stack while actively driving initiatives that optimize field performance and eliminate daily friction.

You will combine a "process-first" mindset with strong analytical rigor—using data to identify and quantify operational friction points (such as lead routing breakdowns, deal velocity bottlenecks, and handoffs). Crucially, your analytical findings will directly inform our team’s project prioritization—ensuring we tackle the highest-impact operational gaps aligned with overarching company strategy. Additionally, you will own our team's operational drumbeat: managing project intake and leading our monthly cross-functional stakeholder updates.
