- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong passion for technology, particularly at the intersection of partner marketing and product development.

Okta’s Intern Program
As an intern, you’ll do real work that matters. While you’re on board, you’ll work on meaningful projects and have an opportunity to see what working at Okta is all about. You’ll also have the support of your mentor and manager to help you develop new skills.
Our interns have the opportunity to build a strong community - with their fellow interns, within their teams, and with the broader company. We want you to grow professionally and you’ll do that through participating in events like our Executive Speaker Series and Brown Bags. And of course, we want you to have fun too. We offer 12 week internships in the U.S. in the Summer and 16 week co-ops in Canada.
