People Technology Staff Product ManagerNew

The opportunity

Reporting to the Director of People Technology, this role will serve as the Product Manager for Okta's People Technology portfolio, focused on Employee Growth & Talent. You will act as the strategic bridge between global People leaders and delivery teams.

What you'll do

  • Product Strategy & Roadmap Leadership: Define the multi-year product vision and strategy for the Growth & Talent domain in close collaboration with functional and technical leadership. Translate that strategy into a prioritized, outcome-driven roadmap that articulates clear business value, return on investment (ROI), and measurable impact on talent operations and employee experience.

  • Talent Ecosystem Modernization: Build data-driven business cases and functional strategies for major platform initiatives across the talent ecosystem (e.g., ATS, LMS, and custom Workday Extend applications), articulating clear ROI, operational efficiency gains, and improved employee and candidate experiences.

  • Delivery Lead Partnership: Partner closely with the Growth & Talent Delivery Lead to translate business priorities and functional requirements into well-scoped epics and user stories, while maintaining clear alignment on trade-offs, velocity, and delivery milestones.

  • Functional & Technical Alignment: Act as the voice of the business and end users within technical discussions, translating complex functional requirements into clear product specifications and acceptance criteria. Partner with the delivery team to evaluate technical trade-offs, balancing user experience, operational risk, and long-term scalability.

  • AI & Talent Automation Strategy: Define the strategy and functional requirements for integrating AI across the talent lifecycle (sourcing, onboarding, learning, internal mobility)—evaluating build vs. buy solutions, designing human-in-the-loop workflows, and ensuring enterprise-grade privacy and ethical AI standards.

  • Global Stakeholder Management: Drive cross-functional alignment across Digital Solutions, distributed executive stakeholders, business functional leads, and US-based product counterparts to ensure clear visibility, smooth change management, and high program adoption.

What they're looking for

  • Experience scoping and delivering solutions on enterprise platform: extensibility frameworks (e.g., Workday Extend, orchestration engines, or custom application ecosystems).
  • Direct experience conceptualizing, testing, or deploying agentic AI: workflows, conversational interfaces, or autonomous task automation in an enterprise HR context.
  • Working knowledge of enterprise data governance, compliance standards (SOX,: SOC2, GDPR), and sensitive employee data handling.
  • Supporting Your Well-Being
  • Driving Social Impact
  • Developing Talent and Fostering Connection + Community
