Manager, Field Conversational Intelligence

Okta Okta · Enterprise · San Francisco, CA · Business Operations-150

Manager role focused on integrating conversational intelligence data into the global sales lifecycle at Okta. This involves designing and optimizing workflows to validate deal stages, trigger handoffs, and ensure alignment with sales methodology. The role also involves partnering with analytics and operations teams to derive business intelligence from conversational data, audit pipeline health, and optimize the conversational intelligence platform. The focus is on operationalizing the sales process using AI-driven insights to improve efficiency and drive revenue growth.

What you'd actually do

  1. Ensure CI workflows are configured to reinforce our defined sales methodology, making the methodology a tangible, measurable part of the daily sales process.
  2. Design the standard processes for Sales, Pre-Sales, and XDR teams to ensure CI insights are utilized at key milestones (e.g., discovery validation, technical scoping, etc.).
  3. Establish procedural requirements for using CI to streamline transitions between teams, ensuring the "voice of the customer" remains the central thread from lead to renewal.
  4. Partner with Analytics & Operations teams to turn conversational data into business intelligence (e.g., identifying why deals are stalling or why win rates vary by segment).
  5. Develop the process for using CI as a "truth mechanism" to audit CRM accuracy, ensuring that forecasted deals show conversational evidence of progress.
