What You Would Do Here:

Cloudflare is growing our People team. Our focus is finding the best people to work at Cloudflare and then allowing you to do your best work. As we continue to build out our Business Partner team, we are looking for a trusted business partner who is naturally curious about what we do and driven to help our people thrive. In this role, you will report to the Global Head of GTM Business Partners - and support our strategic initiatives, partnering closely with the VP AMER Sales and Revenue leaders, and managers. You will be the People Team Business Partner to Marketing and part of the Revenue organization.

You will develop and implement proactive solutions for a broad scope of activities, ensuring alignment on initiatives and priorities, maintaining open and transparent lines of communication and keeping our teams thriving and well supported. You will serve as a strategic partner with strong client partnership based in business acumen. You will focus on organizational design, talent management, and driving initiatives and change leadership.

We passionately believe in leadership at all levels, and our fast growth has created a special opportunity to really enable our team members to acquire new skills and grow on the job. You will help us get better at this by spending time with our people and developing and implementing programs that are responsive to our leaders' needs, role model our company capabilities and will scale as we continue to grow an enterprise business.

Moving at our pace brings a lot of change, complexity, and ambiguity—and a little bit of chaos. Cloudflarian's thrive on that and are comfortable being uncomfortable. That means Cloudflare is not the right place for everyone. Keep up with an unrelenting pace (the week, not the quarter). Be resilient and resourceful in face of ambiguity and thrive on (rather than endure) change. Bring critical thought and opinion — and embrace differences and disagreement to get things done and move forward!

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: We equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists 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: We created 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.

Path Forward Partnership: Since 2016, we have partnered with Path Forward, a nonprofit organization, to create 16-week positions for mid-career professionals who want to get back to the workplace after taking time off to care for a child, parent, or loved one.

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.
