Project & Production Manager, Brand

San Francisco, California

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.

About this role

Brand Ops & Production is looking for a Project & Production Manager, Brand to be the operating engine behind everything Brand Strategy does. This role supports the team that owns our brand architecture, naming and messaging, brand health, the "Okta Secures AI" brand campaign, customer and partnership content, paid creator programs, our video content program, and brand copy. You will turn that broad portfolio of priorities into a real, sequenced plan and help make it ship, on time, in the open, and at the standard we set for ourselves.

This is a hands-on operating role. Brand Strategy decides what to work on and in what order with their stakeholders. You own how that work gets built, sequenced, produced where needed, tracked, and communicated. On priorities Brand Strategy owns end to end, you help run the full project, coordinating creative, production, distribution, and measurement readiness in one plan. You also own the operational foundations that make the work possible: bringing new vendors on board and keeping creative assets moving to the right people at the right time.

 

What you will do

  • Support project and production management across the full scope of Brand Strategy's work, including the brand campaign, customer and partnership content, paid creator programs, the video content program, and brand enablement efforts
  • Help run full, end-to-end project management on the priorities Brand Strategy owns outright, coordinating creative, production, distribution, and measurement in one plan
  • Build and maintain the plan of record in our project management system, with every project, task, deadline, dependency, and review step visible in one place
  • Help build workbacks, sequence work across multiple concurrent priorities, and surface dependencies before they become problems
  • Onboard new vendors and agencies, including contract and procurement coordination, access and tooling setup, and briefing them on our brand systems and ways of working
  • Traffic creative assets and deliverables, managing versions and routing so the right files reach the right partners and channels on time
  • Drive logistics and production for brand initiatives, and own production directly where the work calls for it
  • Communicate status clearly and consistently, with project-level updates as things change and a regular roll-up that keeps the whole picture readable
  • Manage timelines, reviews, and approvals, including legal and customer sign-offs, across a busy, fast-moving portfolio
  • Use our tools, including their AI capabilities, to reduce manual tracking and spend more time on sequencing, production, and partnership

What experience you have

  • Solid experience in project and production management for brand or marketing creative work, in-house or at an agency
  • A track record of managing complex, multi-workstream creative projects and helping them ship on time
  • Good production know-how across brand deliverables, including campaigns, content, and partnership work, and experience coordinating outside agencies and vendors
  • Experience onboarding vendors and agencies and trafficking creative assets through production and delivery
  • Fluency in project management tools and a discipline for keeping everything visible and accountable in one system
  • Clear, proactive stakeholder communication and the ability to keep a busy set of partners aligned and informed
  • The judgment to own the seams between internal and external work, and to know what to run yourself versus what to leave to a partner
  • Comfort managing several concurrent, high-visibility priorities at once
  • Interest in using AI and automation to take manual work off the team's plate

Why you should be excited about this role

  • You will be a key part of the operating backbone for the brand's most strategic and highest-visibility work
  • You will help run full programs end to end, not just track tasks
  • You will help evolve how a creative team operates, including how it uses AI to work smarter

Why we are excited about you

  • You bring order to a broad, complex portfolio and turn it into a clear, sequenced plan
  • You always know where things stand, and so does everyone who asks you
  • You manage the seams and the partners, and keep the standard high across a wide range of brand work
