Position Description
As part of the Sustainability and Responsible Technology team, you will act as the foundational support layer for Sustainability & Responsible Technology customer and investor requests within the Deal Operations team.

Responsibilities
In this role, your responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Sales Enablement & RFP Support: Support the Sales team by providing strategic guidance on the Sustainability & Responsible Technology aspects of deals. Respond to increasingly rigorous customer sustainability questionnaires and RFPs using public sustainability disclosures and internal FAQs housed in RFPIO, while advising on standard terms.
Deal Management: Manage and operationalize deals that include complex Sustainability, and Responsible Technology topics (such as AI ethics, data privacy, and energy-efficient IT infrastructure).
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with the core Sustainability team to ensure the accurate, data-driven representation of Okta’s Sustainability and Responsible Technology initiatives to enterprise buyers.
Accurate Reporting Capabilities: Utilize various metric tracking systems to provide robust and accurate data sets around customer requests each quarter and fiscal year.
