Overview:
Our client, an industry-leading IAM consulting firm, is seeking a skilled Okta Project Manager for a long-term contract role. The ideal candidate will be Okta-certified and have hands-on experience managing multiple Okta implementations. While a PMP certification is not required, the candidate must demonstrate strong project management skills, a deep understanding of identity and access management (IAM), and expertise in Okta's platform and capabilities.


Responsibilities:

  • Lead the planning, execution, and successful delivery of Okta implementation projects, ensuring alignment with client objectives and timelines.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including technical consultants, stakeholders, and clients, to gather requirements and define project scope.
  • Oversee project milestones, deliverables, and schedules, ensuring projects are completed on time and within scope.
  • Coordinate and facilitate project meetings, status updates, and communication between all stakeholders.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, addressing concerns and providing updates throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Identify risks, develop mitigation strategies, and ensure that potential project challenges are effectively managed.
  • Provide technical oversight and guidance during Okta implementation phases, including configuration, integration, and testing.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices in identity and access management.


Qualifications:

  • Okta Certified Professional (or higher-level Okta certifications required).
  • Demonstrated experience in managing and delivering multiple Okta implementation projects.
  • Strong understanding of Okta's platform, including Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Lifecycle Management, and integrations.
  • Proven ability to manage complex projects in a fast-paced environment without the need for formal PMP qualifications.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with a focus on delivering high-quality results.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a remote setting.


Preferred Skills:

  • Familiarity with other IAM platforms (e.g., Ping, Azure AD) is a plus.
  • Experience with cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and related integrations.
  • Knowledge of regulatory compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOX) as they relate to IAM.


What Our Client Offers:

  • Flexible long-term contract.
  • 100% remote role with no travel required.
  • Opportunities for professional growth within a leading IAM consulting firm.
  • Competitive hourly compensation based on experience and certifications.
