About the role
- Okta is seeking a GTM Strategy & Activation professional for Okta Secures AI, the product line for agent identity.
- This role owns GTM readiness across the full customer lifecycle, from first conversation through deployment, adoption, and expansion.
- You will own customer insight, messaging, positioning, competitive intelligence, and readiness strategy rather than traditional enablement.
Responsibilities
- Build the narrative, value proposition, proof points, and persona-specific stories sellers use in live deals.
- Develop competitive positioning, objection handling, and talk tracks as the market evolves.
- Equip SEs and FDEs with the stories, scenarios, and technical depth needed to demonstrate Okta Secures AI credibly.
- Ensure the field understands what is new, what has changed, and how to take it to market.
- Partner directly with sellers and SEs to identify gaps in live deals and turn those insights into reusable solutions.
- Work with FDEs and Professional Services to turn real deployment patterns into repeatable use cases, reference architectures, and playbooks.
- Help SI and implementation partners deliver Okta Secures AI deployments to the same standard as Okta Professional Services.
- Equip TAMs and CSMs with health signals, use-case expansion paths, and messaging for renewal and growth conversations.
- Turn deployment and adoption outcomes into customer stories, proof points, and references that strengthen both pre- and post-sales.
- Bring deployment and adoption learnings back into product, roadmap, pricing, packaging, and GTM decisions.
Requirements
- 5+ years in product marketing, GTM strategy, sales engineering, solutions architecture, or professional services for a technical B2B product.
- Strong expertise in messaging, positioning, personas, and competitive strategy, grounded in customer experience.
- Experience driving readiness across both pre-sales and post-sales technical audiences.
- Enough technical depth to learn quickly and explain complex concepts clearly, from the agent identity story to MCP, Cross App Access, and enterprise AI deployment.
- Experience working directly with customers and deployment teams and turning real-world problems into scalable solutions.
- A track record of influencing teams you don't own and getting your work adopted across an organization.
- Strong presentation and facilitation skills, with the ability to adapt to sellers, engineers, consultants, executives, and customers.
- Strong judgment and prioritization, knowing what to build, what to reuse, and when to push back.
- Comfort operating in an early, rapidly changing market where products, pricing, competitors, and customer needs evolve quickly.
- Willingness to travel for customer engagements, field events, QBRs, and partner sessions.
