Job Description
Okta is looking for a Brand Art Director to define the visual standard for how Okta shows up across organic social. In this hybrid role in Bellevue, WA, you will help shape social-first creative that translates “Okta Secures AI” into native, engaging content designed to perform in the feed.
What you’ll get to do
- Lead design for Okta’s organic social channels, taking concepts from idea through published assets for static, carousel, and feed-first formats
- Build and evolve recurring creative formats so business initiatives can move from brief to channel-native content quickly
- Turn the “Okta Secures AI” story into visually compelling ideas that earn attention, engagement, and shares
- Bring cultural relevance to the work in a way that fits a trusted security brand
- Design assets and formats for Okta’s social advocacy program to help employees and partners share Okta content through their own networks at scale
- Partner with the video team to improve YouTube performance through high-impact thumbnails, playlist art, and supporting visual assets

- Test new formats and ideas, learn from engagement results, and convert what works into repeatable best practices
- Present creative direction to stakeholders and mentor other designers contributing to social
- Stay ahead of platform changes and feed trends, bringing opportunities back to the team
What you bring
- A standout portfolio of social-first work that stopped the scroll, drove engagement, and stayed on brand
- Senior-level experience designing for social channels, ideally in-house at a brand or social-native environment, with a record of leading work independently

- Proven ability to design for engagement and sharing, including making technical or abstract subject matter feel interesting
