Sr. TAM, Solutions Architect

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.

Okta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology - anywhere, on any device or app. Our Workforce and Customer Identity Clouds enable secure yet flexible access, authentication, and automation that transform how people move through the digital world, putting Identity at the heart of business security and growth. At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences.

We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.

Technical Account Management is a global team that partners with Okta’s Customer Success team and collaborates with Okta’s customers to share knowledge, best practices and make recommendations to continuously innovate around identity and security.

The Global New Product Introduction (NPI) Overlay Team functions as an elite squad acting as a crucial bridge between Pre‑Sales, Product and our global TAM organization. We are Okta product experts, and we enable Okta's worldwide growth by establishing repeatable adoption patterns, driving early‑stage readiness, and ensuring core TAM teams are programmatically equipped to realize technical value across our newest capabilities.

A Senior Technical Account Manager (TAM) - New Product Introduction (NPI) Specialist Overlay serves as a highly technical overlay resource designed to build the architectural blueprints for how Okta scales its newest and most complex capabilities. This role handles a crucial dual motion consisting of NPI via time‑boxed, sprint‑based engagements to establish repeatable adoption patterns, and Specialist Overlay via targeted interventions for existing product sets that show a deficit in market adoption.

The TAM specialisation requires an understanding of hybrid scenarios that capitalize on Okta’s ability to manage authentication, authorization, and lifecycle management capabilities for SaaS, on‑premise, and custom enterprise applications.

• Coordinate closely with Product Acceleration Team (PAT) specialists to smoothly transition technical workloads into the TAM organization.
• Evaluate early‑stage software and co‑author the operational "Go/No-Go" criteria that dictate when an NPI capability is ready for broad TAM support.
