Position Description
We are seeking a high-performing Executive Communications Manager to join our executive communications team. Reporting to the Director of Executive Communications, you will support the execution of Okta's partner-first transformation narrative and elevate the thought leadership of the CRO and the broader Revenue Organization executive bench in the security and AI space.

- Create executive messaging frameworks and GTM communication collateral that connect partner strategy to customer imperatives and industry trends.
- Collaborate with PR, sales, and channel teams to source and translate partner programs, co-selling wins, and success stories into compelling market narratives.
Thought Leadership & Content Development
- Research, draft, and ghostwrite high-quality bylines, opinion pieces, and social content for the CRO and Revenue executives to establish them as authorities in security, AI, and enterprise transformation.
- Develop mainstage content, keynotes, panels, and talking points for high-stakes milestone events, including Sales Kickoff (SKO) and the Partner Summit at Oktane.
- Monitor industry trends in security and AI to identify proactive thought leadership opportunities and partner closely with the PR team to prepare executives for media interactions, press interviews, and speaking engagements.
CRO Organization Communications
- Apply change management principles to design thoughtful internal communication plans for organizational shifts, restructuring, and strategy pivots.
- Create and manage essential CRO organization communications—including All Hands meetings, town halls, announcements, and change briefings—keeping global revenue teams aligned with company vision and GTM strategy.
- Develop an internal communications strategy that fosters deep cross-functional connections and amplifies high-impact sales wins and co-selling success stories to drive engagement.

- Proven ability to write and produce exceptional content with flawless editing skills.
- Experience developing executive thought leadership and positioning technology leaders as credible industry voices.
- Strong business and technical acumen with an understanding of identity security, AI, and the competitive landscape.
