Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human
Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence.
This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.
Location: We’re seeking a dynamic and motivated individual to join our team in San Francisco.
ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP
The Corporate Communications team at Okta is a global, high-impact engine responsible for protecting and elevating the company’s reputation. Our team is composed of experts across Internal Communications, Crisis and Reputation, Executive Communications, Public Relations, Digital Communications, and our Newsroom. We are looking for an AI Strategy & Operations Intern to help us push the boundaries of what’s possible across all these functions. In this role, you will partner with our team to further integrate AI into our sophisticated communications ecosystem. This isn't just about using new tools; it’s about architecting the next generation of our operational strategy. We’re looking for a data-fluent marketing or communications student who can help us scale our AI "playbook," build shared resources for our global team, and deepen our data-driven insights.
What You’ll Get to Do
- Architect the AI Hub: Build and curate a centralized "AI Playbook" and resource library (including custom Gemini Gems and prompt templates) tailored to the specific needs of our Internal, Executive, and PR teams.
- Scale Global Workflows: Partner with sub-functions to identify and automate high-frequency tasks—such as synthesizing global news cycles for the Newsroom or drafting multi-channel social assets for Digital Comms.
- Build the Executive Engagement Engine: Design and manage a centralized tracker for executive speaking engagements; use AI to categorize and analyze "Accepted," "Denied," and "Received" requests to identify strategic gaps and opportunities.
- Advance Narrative Measurement: Leverage LLMs to transform unstructured media data into structured insights, for proactive messaging guidance.
- Internal AI Enablement: Act as a "scout" for the team by pilot-testing new AI features and leading "how-to" sessions to ensure the global team remains at the cutting edge of AI proficiency.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Academic Pursuit: Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or Data Analytics and graduating December 2026 or Spring 2027. (We love candidates who sit at the intersection of "Storytelling" and "Data".)
- The "AI Architect" Mindset: You don't just use AI to write emails; you understand how to build sophisticated system prompts and custom agents (like Gemini Gems) that solve specific business problems.
- Data-Driven Marketer: You are comfortable with "messy" data. You can take a list of news headlines or speaking invites and use tools to turn them into structured insights and visual trends.
- Operationally Minded: You enjoy building systems that make work easier for others. You are the person who naturally wants to organize a chaotic spreadsheet or automate a repetitive task.
- Strategic Communicator: You understand that "tone" and "voice" matter. You can distinguish between the professional nuance needed for an Executive and the fast-paced energy required for Social Media.
- Self-Starter & Scout: You are naturally curious and stay 15 minutes ahead of the news cycle when it comes to new AI features, tools, and best practices.
A PLUS
- Automation Enthusiast: Experience with low-code automation tools (e.g., Airtable, Zapier, or Google Apps Script) to move data between platforms.
- Visual Storyteller: Proficiency in creating simple but high-impact data visualizations (e.g., in Google Data Studio, Tableau, or even advanced Excel/Sheets).
- Productivity Hacker: You’ve built your own "personal AI workflow" or side project that demonstrates how you use technology to multiply your own output.

Get Access To All JobsAI Strategy Lead CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an AI Strategy Lead role qualify for CPT authorization?
Yes, if your degree program includes coursework in artificial intelligence, strategic management, data analytics, or related fields and the role is documented as an integral part of your curriculum. Your DSO makes the final determination. Bring the employer's job description and a written statement from your academic advisor connecting the role to your program requirements.
Can I do CPT as an AI Strategy Lead if my degree is in a non-technical field?
It depends on your program's curriculum, not the job title alone. MBA, public policy, and information management students have successfully authorized CPT for strategy roles involving AI implementation. The key is demonstrating that the work integrates with specific courses you're currently enrolled in. A weak curricular connection is the most common reason DSOs decline authorization for cross-disciplinary roles like this one.
How do I find AI Strategy Lead employers who understand CPT?
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers with documented work authorization filing history. Organizations that have previously sponsored F-1 or H-1B visa employees are more likely to have HR processes in place for CPT onboarding. Consulting firms, technology companies, and enterprise strategy groups are the most common employers for this role type.
What happens to my OPT eligibility if I do full-time CPT as an AI Strategy Lead?
Using 12 months or more of full-time CPT makes you ineligible for OPT. Part-time CPT, defined as 20 hours per week or fewer, does not count against your OPT regardless of duration. If you're planning to use OPT after graduation for H-1B cap-gap purposes, discuss the full-time versus part-time distinction with your DSO before accepting an offer.
What job profile should I reference when preparing for CPT authorization for this role?
Use the O*NET occupation profile for management analysts or computer and information systems managers, depending on how your employer has classified the role. These profiles document the typical education and knowledge requirements that support a curricular alignment argument. Sharing the O*NET profile with your DSO alongside your offer letter strengthens your authorization request.
