Making that feel simple and intuitive is your job.   What you will do Own the long-term design strategy for your product area, shaping where it goes across multiple releases, not just the roadmap in front of you. Partner with design leadership to define the patterns and standards other designers build on, and raise the quality bar in your area. Lead through influence, aligning product, engineering, research, and content partners around a direction without relying on authority. Design end-to-end journeys that span the Okta portfolio and multiple personas: IT and security admins, compliance owners, resource owners, approving managers, and end users. Bring a systems-thinking lens, connecting user insights to business goals to create experiences that keep millions of users safe every day.

What we are looking for You have experience leading cross-discipline teams and see design as a partner with PM and Engineering in shaping strategic and operational product and UX outcomes. You move easily between big-picture thinking and detail, and create clarity in ambiguity for your team and partners, not just yourself. You have the heart of a teacher and can help mentor and train people. You are a thought leader, undertaking explorations into new technologies and territories while also delivering practical designs. You are passionate about crafting and sharing product and design UX principles to help teams deliver cohesive user experiences. You work AI into your design process — building tools and reusable prompts — and you vet its output for accuracy, design system fit, and usability before it ships. You keep user goals at the heart of your solutions, building and sharing empathy to deeply understand people's needs, while balancing business objectives and engineering considerations. You are comfortable owning all stages of design within a given product area. You showcase storytelling skills to communicate your design ideas to a variety of stakeholders. Your portfolio will show that you've worked on complex and challenging technical projects across all aspects of the design process (generative and evaluative research, discovery, interaction design, information architecture, visual design, etc.) You share our values, and work in accordance with those values. Qualifications Degree in a related field or relevant work experience as a Product Designer or UX Designer. Proficient in Figma or similar design tools.
