• 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 Web Authn, PIV, Yubikey, password policy, and the recovery flows that protect the largest enterprises in the world
• 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 Web Authn, PIV smart cards, Yubikey OTP and FIDO. Non-phishing-resistant authenticators: SMS, voice, email magic link, security questions, password policy

• 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…
