Our Strategic Account Executives (SAE) are the visionary leaders who orchestrate and drive sales engagements for our most critical and prestigious Germany based customers.

Beyond managing existing relationships, you will hunt for new business leads that fit our ideal client profile, uncovering uncharted territory in the market. You will align closely with our Global partners to build sustainable strategic engagements, and leverage cutting-edge Account-Based Marketing to ensure Okta's investment continuously aligns with customer growth.
