Regional Sales Manager - Public Sector

Okta’s Public Sector Team is Growing

Digital identity is driving transformation across government, and at Okta, our technology and people are at the heart of many of these success stories.

On the Workforce Identity side, Okta enables seamless, secure access to the tools government employees rely on daily to carry out critical work. On the Customer Identity side, we empower teams to create engaging, secure user experiences—whether for citizen-facing applications, mobile driver’s licenses, or national digital identity initiatives.

With flagship customers across the Australian Federal Government, Okta has established a strong foundation in this market. Our commitment to government customers is further reinforced by our local data centre and IRAP certification, ensuring we meet stringent security and compliance requirements. We are now looking for a dynamic sales leader to build upon this success and drive further growth across Federal accounts.

At Okta, we provide our Account Executives with an environment where they can contribute from day one, supported by a world-class onboarding program and continuous opportunities for learning and development. Your work will make a tangible impact—shaping the future of digital identity and driving positive social outcomes.
