San Francisco, CA – Onsite 4 Days/Week (Mon–Thurs)

The Team

At Okta, we’re building the world’s identity platform — one that empowers people, protects data, and fuels digital innovation. Our customers (think: JetBlue, T-Mobile, Sonos, Zoom) trust us to help them stay secure, seamless, and scalable in a world where everything and everyone is connected.

And behind the tech? People like you — curious, motivated, collaborative learners who want to do meaningful work alongside great teammates.

 

The Opportunity: Where High Potential Meets High Impact

Let’s be real: There are a lot of SDR roles out there. But at Okta, we do things differently.

This isn’t just a stepping stone — it’s your launchpad into a long-term sales career in one of the most exciting industries in tech: cybersecurity and identity.

We’re looking for driven, curious individuals who thrive in fast-paced environments, embrace feedback, and want to make a tangible impact every day. As an SDR at Okta, you'll do more than prospect — you’ll uncover real business challenges, collaborate cross-functionally, and set the foundation for meaningful customer relationships.

 

What You'll Be Doing

• Research accounts and contacts to develop thoughtful outreach strategies using tools like Salesforce, Outreach, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator
• Collaborate with Marketing and Account Executives to plan and execute prospecting campaigns
• Engage inbound leads and perform outbound outreach to generate high-quality meetings and opportunities
• Conduct discovery conversations to understand business needs and tee up your Account Executives for success
• Hit your call, email, meeting, and pipeline goals — and have fun doing it, with team competitions, shout-outs, and ongoing support
• Keep your data organized and up-to-date in Salesforce
• Work with cross-functional partners to continuously improve how we connect with our customers

 

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience
• 6–12 months of prior business experience preferred
• A strong communicator, written and verbal — you know how to connect
• Self-motivated and goal-oriented — you take initiative and follow through
• Comfortable managing priorities in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Coachable — you’re open to feedback and eager to grow
• Curious — you ask great questions and are always looking to learn
• Familiarity with sales tools like Salesforce, Outreach, and Sales Navigator is a plus

 

A Few Logistics

• This role is onsite in our San Francisco office 4 days per week (Mon–Thurs)
• If you're not already local, you’ll need to relocate within an agreed-upon timeframe — note that Okta does not provide relocation assistance

• If you need a reasonable accommodation during the application or interview process, let us know here
