## Job description

Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human

Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence.

This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.

The Security Compliance team’s mission is to strengthen Okta’s position as the leading Identity-as-a-Service solution through a security-first approach to compliance.  We are looking for someone with a strong compliance background and experience in the technical implementation of security controls from ISMAP, IRAP Protected, SOC2, ISO 27001, and other international frameworks.  The right candidate will have participated in a mature ISMS program, delivered ISMAP compliance, and will play a key role in providing customers with confidence in Okta’s leadership in the identity space.  As a Staff Security Compliance Analyst, you will support security initiatives by engaging various process owners in the design, documentation, implementation, monitoring of the appropriate controls in our computing environments, and demonstrating those controls to external auditors.  In addition you will plan and lead the private sector compliance initiatives.

- Work with process and control owners to help them understand the audit results, identify remediation options, and prioritize their closure
- As needed, develop appropriate security documentation, including system security plans, information security policies, and risk assessment procedures
- Assess security impact on changes to the systems and applications
- Identify opportunities for improvement within the Compliance program and build plans to address them
