Proposal Manager Job Description

The Proposal Management Team

The Proposal Management team handles end-to-end RFx processes at Okta. We are an agile, highly collaborative team supporting Okta’s most critical, high-value strategic RFx initiatives for our go-to-market organization. The Proposal Management function sits strategically within Okta’s global Presales Organization.

Proposal Manager Opportunity

We are seeking a forward-thinking Proposal Manager to elevate and scale our global RFx operations. If you view RFPs not as an administrative chore, but as a strategic puzzle to be solved using cutting-edge technology, creative storytelling, and data-driven insights, you’ll fit right in.

In this role, you will act as both a process architect and a strategic advisor. You will own the end-to-end proposal lifecycle across our global markets. You will partner closely with international Account Executives, Solution Engineers, Product teams, and Executives to build compelling, winning responses for world-class brands.

This position moves far beyond traditional, reactive document management. Reporting to the Manager of Global Proposal Management, you will champion modern, AI-integrated workflows and serve as a trusted advisor to our deal teams. Crucially, you will look at the macro picture, analyzing trends across our global submissions to provide actionable intelligence that directly shapes Okta's long-term product and commercial strategies.

What you’ll be doing

• Architect & Advise: Own and orchestrate the end-to-end proposal lifecycle for high-value enterprise and strategic accounts across global markets, acting as a strategic consultant to deal teams rather than just an administrator.
• AI-Driven Content Crafting: Serve as the power-user and global champion for our proposal tech stack. Use AI to generate, refine, and optimize responses, while maintaining Okta’s unique global brand voice.
• Global Collaboration: Partner seamlessly with international, cross-functional stakeholders
