Okta is seeking a Program Manager, Services Solutions & Delivery Acceleration to join the Global Professional Services and Delivery Success organization, reporting to the Sr. Manager, Strategic Programs and Delivery Governance. This role is based in Chicago, Illinois or Toronto, Ontario (hybrid).
You will lead the transformation of complex, custom implementation workflows into standardized, packaged service solutions and reusable delivery acceleration toolkits. Working alongside Product Management, Engineering, and Delivery teams, you will manage the full lifecycle of packaged services (QuickStarts, migration packages, specialized health checks) and develop both technical accelerators (API scripts, automation tools, code repositories) and methodological accelerators (workshop kits, intake templates, automated documentation) to reduce customer time-to-value and boost implementation efficiency.
Key responsibilities include:
**Services Delivery Acceleration (Technical Toolkits):** Collaborate with technical delivery SMEs to harvest, standardize, and package technical IP such as reusable API scripts, automation code, configuration templates, and connector modules. Establish and operate a global IP harvesting mechanism, incentivizing and vetting contributions from internal delivery architects and external partner engineers into centralized repositories (GitHub, Highspot, Confluence). Maintain centralized technical asset repositories ensuring internal consultants and partner delivery teams can easily access up-to-date acceleration tools. Package acceleration toolkits specifically for external Service Delivery Partners and GSIs to ensure partner-led implementations achieve equal velocity and quality.
**New Product Introduction (NPI) Services Readiness:** Serve as the primary Professional Services liaison to Product Management and Engineering for incoming product features, ensuring services solution packages and delivery accelerators launch in lockstep with core product releases. Partner with early-adopter customer delivery teams to validate initial service patterns, converting custom project learnings into standard commercial service offerings.
**Acceleration Adoption, Time-to-Value & Outcome Analytics:** Define and track critical performance metrics focusing on packaged service sales volume, accelerator adoption rates, attach rates, and time-to-value metrics. Collect structured feedback from internal consultants, service delivery partners, and customer surveys to continuously refine existing acceleration assets and prioritize new investments.
**AI-Powered Delivery Acceleration:** Leverage Generative AI tools to curate the creation of technical code samples, configuration scripts, and standard technical documentation. Apply AI tools to systematically identify repeatable custom builds and establish priorities for new accelerator development. Design and deploy AI validation utilities to provide assurance for services delivery projects.
**Requirements:**
- 5+ years as a Technical Product Manager, Services Product Manager, Solutions Architect, or Technical Enablement Lead within a SaaS, cloud platform, or technology consulting firm
- Demonstrated track record of packaging complex services into standardized, fixed-scope solutions and managing service lifecycles alongside product development teams
- Ability to understand technical implementation concepts (APIs, scripts, system integrations) as well as consulting methodologies (workshops, intake forms, project toolkits)
- Expertise defining and tracking program KPIs (e.g., time-to-value, accelerator adoption rates, CSAT/NPS, project efficiency gain) using Tableau, Salesforce, or similar platforms
- Exceptional ability to partner with technical architects, Product Managers, Product Marketing, and external delivery partners
- Strong technical writing and communication capabilities, with a knack for translating complex product features into standardized execution toolkits
- Demonstrated experience using Generative AI tools specifically for technical workflows (e.g., code generation, API payload synthesis, automated schema parsing)
**Preferred qualifications:**
- Hands-on knowledge of Okta, Auth0, or broader Identity & Access Management (IAM) architecture
- Experience with GitHub, developer repositories, or software packaging workflows
- Deep understanding of Professional Services economics (utilization, billable rates, margin optimization)
- Pragmatic Institute, Agile Product Management, or PMP certification
- Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience in technical solution delivery
