About this Global Partner Program Operations Specialist role at Okta
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.
At Okta, our partner ecosystem is a fundamental growth engine. The Global Partner Program team builds and operates the engine, data infrastructure, and tools that enable our partners to scale seamlessly and build thriving Okta practices.
We are looking for a high-velocity Partner Program Operations Specialist to take full ownership of partner onboarding, portal infrastructure, and operational support. This isn't a passive ticket-handling role; you will be the operational backbone for our partner experience—relentlessly removing friction, maintaining bulletproof data integrity, and unblocking partners and internal teams in real time.
The ideal candidate is an execution-focused operator with a bias for action, incredible attention to detail, and a knack for solving complex operational puzzles in a fast-moving environment.
