Okta  Strategic Growth Team

About the Role

Okta and Auth0 are building the future of intelligent, signal-driven pipeline generation. As a Sr. Strategic Growth Specialist , you’ll play a critical role in executing high-impact go-to-market programs that fuel growth across industries and regions.

In this role, you’ll work side-by-side with the Director of Strategic Growth to coordinate cross-functional workstreams, manage timelines, and ensure flawless program execution. You’ll serve as the operational core of our Growth Engine — ensuring initiatives launch on time, run smoothly, and scale effectively.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ownership, loves building clarity out of complexity, and gets energy from seeing projects through from idea to measurable results.

What You’ll Do

  • Drive Program Execution → Own the full working checklist for every initiative (account validation, program alignment, ops tagging, outreach readiness, kickoff → enablement → launch).

  • Be the Cross-Functional Connector → Partner daily with Ops, Program Owner, PMM, Outreach, ABX, and SDRs to keep all task-level dependencies moving.

  • Ensure Process Clarity & Scale → Document workflows, identify recurring gaps (e.g., Salesforce reporting, account selection), and propose fixes that work across global teams.

  • Manage Timelines & Accountability → Keep projects on track, raise risks early, and ensure deadlines are met.

  • Communicate & Align → Serve as a main point of contact across execution teams, keeping stakeholders informed and aligned — no surprises.

What You Bring

  • 2+ years of experience in ABM, Demand Generation, or GTM execution
  • Strong project management skills — organized, proactive, and detail-oriented
  • Experience managing multiple workstreams and aligning cross-functional teams
  • Clear, confident communicator with strong relationship-building skills
  • Familiarity with GTM functions (SDRs, AEs, PMM, Digital) and how they collaborate
  • Hands-on experience with 6Sense, Clay, Outreach, and Salesforce

Why Join Us

  • Accelerated Growth → Learn more about GTM, experimentation, and growth in 6 months than most people do in 2 years.
  • Direct Coaching → Work closely with the Director of Strategic Growth in a high-visibility, high-impact environment.
  • Make an Impact at Scale → Help redefine how one of the world’s most important identity platforms grows.

Career Growth Path

This role is designed to set you up for advancement. Possible next steps include:

  • Growth Program Manager or Growth Strategist
  • Vertical or Regional pod leader (e.g., FinTech, SaaS, HealthTech)
  • Builder of a repeatable GTM experimentation engine

🚀 If you thrive on ownership, enjoy building structure that helps teams move faster, and want to be part of a team redefining how pipeline is created — we’d love to hear from you.
