- Maintain a deep, authoritative understanding of the identity and access management technology landscape, using this insight to influence product and marketing strategy.
- Mentor junior technical marketers and field team members, setting a high bar for content quality, clarity, technical accuracy, and strategic alignment.
- Partner strategically with the product marketing team to understand the most complex identity challenges of the world’s largest organizations and how Okta’s solutions solve those problems.
