Senior Product Manager - Authenticators

Role description

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 role Okta enables universal, secure access to technology for every user and organization. We secure the digital identity landscape by building seamless authentication experiences that scale across global enterprises. Our mission is to eliminate friction in the identity lifecycle while maintaining a rigorous security posture for every digital interaction. We authenticate billions of logins per month. The Authenticators team owns the credentials behind every one of them. We are hiring a Senior Product Manager to lead strategy for Okta's phishing-resistant credentials, including passkeys, FIDO2 WebAuthn, PIV, Yubikey, password policy, and the recovery flows that protect the largest enterprises in the world. What you will own Three forcing functions converge in FY27. Regulators demand phishing-resistant credentials by default (NIST SP 800-63B Rev 4, EU PSD2, FedRAMP High). Attackers bypass passwords and SMS at industrial scale. AI agents need machine-verifiable credentials that humans can govern. The Senior PM in this role decides how Okta meets all three. Phishing-resistant authenticators: passkeys (synced and device-bound), FIDO2 WebAuthn, PIV smart cards, Yubikey OTP and FIDO. Non-phishing-resistant authenticators: SMS, voice, email magic link, security questions, password policy. A day in the life Mornings start with customer escalations or field requests. You run a review with engineering and design, then take a customer call with a Fortune 500 security team. You partner with the stakeholders, PMs etc. on cross-pillar deliverables. You write specs in plain prose with explicit problem statements before any solution framing. You do not ship a feature without a measurable customer outcome attached. Your customer personas are Okta administrators and technical decision makers, so you communicate through technical documentation, working demos, and direct conversations with customer security teams. With the help of AI you move fast and iterate quickly. Responsibilities Collaborate with engineering, design and research teams to define and document user stories and use-cases to guide product development. Define and execute product roadmap and prioritize features for Access Management Collaborate with product marketing and developer relations to support the creation of messaging and content and enable the sales team.
