Responsibilities

We are seeking a Vice President of Global Affairs: a commercially-minded executive with a strong background in government affairs and public policy, coupled with a demonstrated ability to champion a corporate impact function. The ideal candidate is a strategic operator, a compelling storyteller, passionate about technology’s ability to lift communities, and a seasoned leader capable of navigating complex ecosystems—from public sector leaders and regulators to enterprise customers and global nonprofit partners.
This leader will report directly to the Chief Legal Officer and serve as a vital bridge between Okta’s legal and compliance frameworks, our responsible stewardship programs and our Go-To-Market (GTM) machinery. You will provide executive-level air cover for our durable business growth and success while relying on highly seasoned, domain-expert leaders to run the day-to-day operations of the team. You will be a thoughtful, courageous and publicly vocal proponent of Okta’s Global Affairs efforts.
This leader will oversee three critical pillars of Okta's business:
Government Affairs & Public Sector Growth
Lead Okta’s global Government Affairs strategy, navigating and shaping regulatory environments and advancing Okta’s public policy priorities through thought leadership and advocacy.
Partner directly with Okta’s GTM and public sector sales leaders to accelerate pipeline and unlock new commercial opportunities.
Help expand Okta’s thought leadership in critical technology domains, helping us fulfill our vision to free everyone to safely use any technology.
Expand the capacity and reach of the Government Affairs function by leveraging cross-trained talent across the Global Affairs organization.
Sustainability & Responsible Technology
Oversee Okta’s sustainability strategy, disclosures, and compliance with escalating customer and regulatory requirements (including protecting and accelerating deal flow).
Drive the successful reset and Board approval of Okta’s Science-Based Targets for emissions reductions.
Champion a robust, centralized Responsible AI governance program across the business and our customers.
