Drive KPIs: Focus on deployment depth, competitive displacement rate, and Net Expansion Revenue (NER) across G2K accounts. Partner cross-functionally: Work with Field Sales and Customer Success to embed acceleration resources into named-account strategic plans. AI-Powered Enablement & Programs Embed AI capabilities: Integrate AI throughout the customer acceleration lifecycle—from onboarding to competitive displacement to ongoing expansion. Develop governance frameworks: Create responsible AI governance frameworks and NHI (non-human identity) best practices for enterprise deployments. Leverage data and analytics: Use product analytics and AI-driven insights to identify expansion signals and proactively surface acceleration opportunities. Partner & Ecosystem Acceleration Build co-innovation programs: Partner with strategic ISV and technology partners to extend Okta's G2K value proposition. Develop joint GTM playbooks: Work with GSIs and regional partners to scale enterprise deployment capacity. Create partner enablement tools: Design certification paths that drive consistent, high-quality G2K outcomes.
