Principal Product Manager, IAM Security & Agentic Identity

About the role

The Principal Product Manager Opportunity is to drive the strategy and directly influence the product direction for Okta’s premier identity security offerings across both our workforce and developer platforms. The role involves developing and refining the strategic roadmap for the Identity Security portfolio, ensuring internal deployment findings shape and prioritize the core Okta and Auth0 Product roadmaps. Additionally, the role focuses on designing the internal rollout blueprint and external product strategy for session security, defining operational and technical guardrails for AI Agents, and providing metrics and insights for executive leadership.

Responsibilities

• Roadmap Influence & Strategy: Develop and refine the strategic roadmap for the Identity Security portfolio. Act as a key stakeholder who directly shapes and prioritizes the core Okta and Auth0 Product roadmaps based on internal deployment findings.
• Champagne Lifecycle Management (Alpha to EA): Ensure that as Alpha features are released, Okta’s internal IAM team rigorously tests them and provides real-time feedback through the SDLC process. Own the internal rollout of these features through Early Availability (EA), driving adoption so Okta successfully "drinks its own champagne."
• Anti-Session Hijacking Architecture: Design the internal rollout blueprint and external product strategy for how Okta DBSSO and Chrome DBSC complement one another, creating a layered defense that protects corporate endpoints from token and cookie exfiltration.
• Agentic Governance: Define the operational and technical guardrails for deploying AI Agents internally and externally—ensuring secure integration via identity gateways, downscoped runtime permissions, and an unbreakable audit trail.
• Execution & Technical Delivery: Act as the primary liaison between business units, development, and engineering teams. Lead planning activities, author comprehensive PRDs/user stories, and prioritize features within Scrum/Kanban frameworks.
• 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. Experience in IAM technologies, developer platforms (like Auth0), enterprise security, or machine-to-machine infrastructure is highly valued, but your proven ability to lead through influence is paramount.

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 (like MCP and OAuth 2.0).

Session Security & Threat Literacy: A strong technical understanding of modern identity threat vectors (AiTM phishing, info-stealer malware, session hijacking) and how cryptographic hardware-binding (TPM, Secure Enclave) protects session state.

Strategic Influence: A track record of successfully influencing product roadmaps and engineering priorities across highly matrixed, global organizations without direct reporting authority.

Navigating Ambiguity: Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills; the ability to maintain composure and produce concrete action plans from incomplete, conflicting, or highly ambiguous inputs.

Executive Presence: Elite presentation, verbal, and written communication skills, with the confidence to brief executive leadership and translate deep technical architecture into compelling business value.
