About the Department

Account Executives, Solution Engineers, and Customer Success - all working together help our customers adopt Cloudflare and create great Internet-enabled experiences. The Revenue team at Cloudflare helps customers solve real, technical problems while creating the revenue streams that help the company provide free service to millions in our community.

As a Director, Strategic Pursuits, you will build and operate a specialised motion that identifies, wins, and expands a focused set of strategic accounts through executive alignment, architectural influence, and disciplined multi-year account planning. This will involve creating a repeatable engine where a small number of deeply embedded customers drive a disproportionate share of APAC enterprise revenue, expansion, and market credibility. The outcome is more durable revenue, faster expansion, and stronger competitive positioning. A mature Strategic Pursuits motion transforms the APAC business from opportunistic growth to durable, platform-led scale & is a structural growth lever designed to shape the future revenue profile and market position of the APAC business.

What Makes Cloudflare Special?

We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.

Project Galileo: Since 2014, we've equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers--at no cost.

Athenian Project: In 2017, we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project, we've provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.

1.1.1.1: We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here’s the deal - we don’t store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
