About the Internship:

Okta’s 12-week internship program offers an inside look at how a world-class Business Development Team builds the foundation for growth. As a BDR Intern, you’ll dive into meaningful projects that allow you to experience the critical early stages of the sales cycle in a high-performance environment.

You’ll make a significant impact by providing a fresh perspective and real-time support for our Sales Development teams. During your internship, you will learn to master our "best-in-breed" tech stack to strategically identify and qualify revenue-generating opportunities. You’ll be responsible for the foundational research of prospective accounts and contacts using industry-leading technology, all with the dedicated support of a mentor and manager to help you develop new skills.

Our interns will also 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 through participating in events like our Executive Speaker Series and networking opportunities with leadership. And of course, we want you to have fun too!

Who We are Looking For:
