Reporting directly to Security Executive leadership, you will operate as a partner to the Senior Executives across Okta’s workforce, taking direct responsibility for cyber risk, data governance, security compliance and product certifications to enable Okta to ship world class, secure products.

You will blend deep domain expertise across enterprise cyber risk, audit, and global compliance with a forward-thinking engineering mindset-pioneering continuous control monitoring, compliance-as-code, and robust AI governance for generative and agentic architectures.

This is not just a leadership role. This is a builder’s role.
