This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. Okta is looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to join our Toronto team, where you will operate as a senior individual contributor partnering with Engineering, Product Management, and Design to lead programs of large cross-organizational scope. You will drive initiatives spanning multiple teams and multiple product and technical areas, with cross-team dependencies and some ambiguity or risk, delivering outcomes with clear business value and impact. The qualified candidate will bring strong TPM expertise honed across large-scale SaaS programs, along with the judgment to work with high autonomy and accountability, make independent decisions for the team, and take informed risks. You are a self-motivated individual who thrives on ambiguity and competing priorities, and who is ready to grow into broader organizational influence over time. Job Duties and Responsibilities: • Own and drive programs of large cross-org scope, spanning multiple teams and multiple product and technical areas, with high autonomy and accountability for successful outcomes. • Develop and implement the frameworks and methods that support program goals and successful outcomes across teams, management, and organizational leadership. • Structure and lead continuous and/or time-bound initiatives with cross-team dependencies by clarifying priorities, enabling execution of deliverables, and providing continuous transparency to stakeholders. • Serve as the overall program owner, working closely with team members to guide and coach them, while enabling the team to be empowered and accountable. • Be the program's voice to leadership, partners, and stakeholders, maintaining overall alignment; be on the front lines to handle replans, scope changes, and business pivots while keeping the team cohesive and progressing. • Anticipate and mitigate risk by maintaining close involvement with team goals and challenges, applying technical and domain expertise, and keeping the big picture in view; see beyond the immediate horizon to proactively identify risks and implement mitigations or contingencies. • Partner with leadership to understand organizational goals and priorities, incorporating them into program strategy, planning, and delivery decisions. • Elevate the throughput and effectiveness of teams and individuals; act as an advisor and mentor to less senior TPMs, leveraging your expertise and experience as an example for others. • Champion continuous improvement and agile best practices, looking for ways to optimize or push boundaries at a broader program level, and bring data-driven proposals for change to leadership for buy-in. Minimum REQUIRED Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: • 8+ years of Technical Program Management experience, with a demonstrated track record operating at a Senior or Staff level on large-scale, cross-organizational SaaS programs. • Demonstrable experience navigating interdependencies affecting complex, cross-organizational programs (product and engineering alignment, engagement models, communications, and change management). • Experience driving programs end-to-end, from inception through General Availability and go-to-market. • Broad systemic understanding across technical disciplines, with solid technical understandin
