POSITION DESCRIPTION

Our MBA Product Management summer internship will immerse you in Okta’s Workforce Identity Cloud product development process. You will collaborate with partners across Okta, including Engineering, Research and Design, Product Marketing, and our field teams on projects that impact everything from new innovations to the evolution of our core products. We will be hiring two Product Management Interns for Summer 2024.

JOB DUTIES + RESPONSIBILITIES

Our two internship positions are placed in our Identity Management and Platform teams - Identity Management increases customer agility by innovating on user lifecycle and governance across the enterprise while maintaining least privilege; and Product Platform is our universally integrated identity platform that provides centralized visibility, control, extensibility and automation for all identity use cases.

Each internship includes the following responsibilities:

• Understanding core business problems and requirements from existing customers, prospective customers, and other strategic initiatives
• Partnering with Engineering, Research and Design, and other internal groups to identify, prioritize, define, and document user stories and use cases to guide product development
• Tracking industry trends and competition alongside internal data to inform product decisions and strategy

Our goal for the MBA Product Management summer internship is to give our interns a real sense of what Product Management is like at Okta.

MINIMUM REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, + ABILITIES

• Currently pursuing an MBA (May/June 2025 graduate)
• Ability to interpret and engage on complex technical concepts
• Excellent communication skills (presentation, verbal, and written)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities (engineering or technical background preferred)
• Track record of successful delivery of company-critical projects in ambiguous environments
• Ability to work effectively in a nimble environment while scaling the business and organization
• Passionate about building new features and launching SaaS products
• Intellectual curiosity, creativity, and an entrepreneur mind-set

OKTA’S INTERN PROGRAM

As a Product Management Intern, you’ll do real work that aligns with Okta’s vision and strategy and have an opportunity to experience what working at Okta is all about. You’ll have the support of your manager and a mentor to help you develop new skills, form cross-functional relationships, and contribute to high-value projects. 

Our interns also have the opportunity to build a strong community - with their fellow interns, within their teams, and across the broader company. We want you to grow professionally, so in addition to your core internship, you’ll participate in intern-specific events like our Executive Speaker Series, and more. 

We are offering 12 week internships based in our San Francisco office in the U.S. during the summer of 2024.
