Senior Product Designer
Get to know Okta
Okta is The World’s Identity Company. We free everyone to safely use any technology—anywhere, on any device or app. Our Workforce and Customer Identity Clouds enable secure yet flexible access, authentication, and automation that transforms how people move through the digital world, putting Identity at the heart of business security and growth.
At Okta, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences. We are not looking for someone who checks every single box - we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. Join our team! We’re building a world where Identity belongs to you.
The Overview
Okta is looking for a talented Senior Product Designer who shares our passion for bringing simple, yet powerful product experiences to our enterprise admins. At Okta, we're building a world where anyone can safely use any technology, and we're specifically focused on protecting the future of work. We bring simple and secure access to people and organizations everywhere, promising to not only protect the identities of our customers' workforce and users, but to ask, “what more can we make possible?” Which is where you come in! As a Senior Product Designer for Okta, you’ll work with a globally distributed design team to apply your craft and expertise on a range of products and services. Our culture provides the opportunity to explore the technologies we’re researching and investing in. Some of your work will be functional, practical user experience design, where you will help our design team drive cohesive user experience across Okta’s portfolio of products. Other work will be speculative, generative explorations that you carry out in collaboration and partnership across the organization to flesh out, frame, and help prioritize solutions in an ever-evolving and complex, often ambiguous, problem space.
The Finer Print
You will lead user experience strategy and execution for our Workforce Identity Cloud (WIC) business unit. Specifically, WIC will solve every identity use case at work – for all types of people (employees, business partners, contractors, frontline workers), for all types of resources (SaaS, servers, privileged resources, machines, etc.), for the largest and most secure businesses in the world. As a designer, your focus will be on helping us build a secure, trusted and unified platform with deep integrations.
In This Role, You Will
- Lead a holistic, human-centered approach to design
- Guide and oversee the UX strategy alongside cross-functional partners
- Design and facilitate co-creation design workshops
- Collaborate with other Okta designers to ensure consistency across interface experiences
- Advocate, mentor, and educate on the benefits of design thinking
- Mentor junior designers and contribute toward team-level and design practice improvements
- Find creative ways to continuously learn from customers and users
- Help product designers create success metrics
- Present work, concepts, and new ideas to cross-functional team members
- Keep abreast of competitor products and industry trends
- Support teams with a wide variety of experience, backgrounds, and interests
Who We Are Looking For
You have experience leading cross-discipline teams and exemplify leadership. You are passionate about solving complex problems and crafting and sharing product and design UX principles. You are great at collaborating, sharing work early and often, and seeking feedback. 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 delivering practical designs. You bring a systems-thinking lens to the conversation and are passionate about supporting teams with a wide variety of experience, backgrounds, and interests. Your portfolio will show that you've worked on complex and/or technical projects across all aspects of the design process.
Qualifications:
- Degree in a related field or relevant work experience as a Product Designer or UX Designer
- Proficient in Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, and/or similar design tools
- Possesses at least a basic understanding of HTML/CSS/JavaScript
- Portfolio link required when applying
