Product Manager, Product Platform (India)

Company Overview

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

Role Overview: Product Manager, Product Platform

This is a rare 0-to-1 opportunity to build a brand-new, high-visibility capability that touches every Okta customer: backup and recovery to strengthen the resilience of our system. You’ll be responsible for building a modern, self-service experience that allows IT Admins to recover back their accidentally or maliciously deleted identity objects. You'll partner closely with Engineering, Field, Pricing & Packaging, and Product leadership to shape a capability with direct, measurable impact on customer retention and revenue growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to the long-term product vision and strategy for Okta's resilience strategy, ensuring the backup and recovery roadmap scales with the breadth of Okta's customer base and product portfolio.
• Design a self-service recovery center to ensure customers can seamlessly and securely track their deletions and changes and revert back across the entire Okta ecosystem.
• Collaborate with India-based engineering and development scrum teams to deliver high-performance, scalable backup and recovery solution 
• Distill complex requirements from a diverse stakeholder group - including Field (AE/CSM), Pricing & Packaging, Support, Design, and Product teams - into precise technical specifications.
• Analyze how large-scale enterprise customer’s resilience needs to identify friction points and drive improvements in customer trust and platform experience.
• Validate assumptions at low cost by building compelling hypotheses and designing rigorous experiments before committing to major infrastructure investments.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of Product Management experience specifically within enterprise-scale SaaS platforms or core software infrastructure.
• BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent technical experience that enables you to rationalize and influence complex architectural decisions.
• Proven ability to produce solid, actionable plans from incomplete, conflicting, or highly ambiguous inputs.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with a track record of successfully collaborating across global functions and time zones.
• Demonstrated business results from customer-facing platform capabilities shipped at scale.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Backup or recovery tools
• Deep familiarity with Identity and Access Management (IAM) protocols and security standards.
• Experience partnering with Sales/CSM organizations on customer-facing solution positioning
• Advanced degree in a technical or business field (e.g., MS in a technical discipline or an MBA).

Location & Working Model

While this role offers location flexibility within India, it is a global-facing position. To bridge the gap between India-based and US-based teams, the candidate must be available for synchronous meetings between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM Pacific Time, at least three days a week.
