What You'll Do- Architect and execute the ISV ecosystem strategy: Define the vision, structure, and enablement approach for Okta's ISV ecosystem.
- Focus on the integration experience: Build scalable frameworks and playbooks that drive new integrations and partner-led use cases
- Design and implement a scaled partner program: Create repeatable programs, incentive structures, and operating models that attract, enable, and retain ISV partners - from onboarding through integration, and joint GTM.
- Drive ecosystem thinking across Okta: Partner with product, engineering, sales, and marketing to embed ecosystem principles into Okta's strategy. Position partnerships as a core to defining Okta's role in AI-security
- Drive AI innovation across ecosystem operations: Leverage AI and automation to scale partner lifecycle management from intelligent onboarding, to predictive partner health scoring, personalized enablement, and smart co-sell targeting, and manage hundreds of partners effectively.
- Represent and evangelize the ecosystem: Be the voice of Okta's ISV strategy externally - speaking at partner events, briefings, and executive meetings, and positioning Okta as the ecosystem leader in identity and security.
What You'll Bring- 10+ years of ISV/ecosystem management experience with a proven track record of building, scaling, and architecting partner ecosystems; not just managing individual partnerships. You should have examples of creating scalable programs, playbooks, and frameworks that enabled partners to succeed independently.
- Deep expertise in ecosystem design and scaling: you understand how to build self-sustaining partner programs that grow without proportional increases in headcount. You have ideas and examples of scalable ecosystem approaches that other companies should learn from.
- Experience working with technical ISV partners (platforms, security, infrastructure, data/AI, SaaS) - and proven ability to drive integrations end-to-end while navigating complex technical and business requirements.
- Systems thinking**: You're able to design repeatable partnership "plays" and operating models that feel personalized yet scale to hundreds of partners. You think systemically about ecosystem health, incentive alignment, and mutual value creation.
- Hands-on experience with AI/automation tools and workflows for scaling partner operations - prompt engineering, workflow automation, intelligence pipelines, and AI-driven insights for partner management.
