About the role

Cloudflare One is our SASE platform that is redefining how the world's most sophisticated organisations secure and connect their global workforce. By unifying Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Wide Area Network (WAN) and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) as well as Email Security into a single, seamless SASE architecture, we are moving the industry beyond the legacy 'castle-and-moat' era.

What you'll do

We are looking for a product leader to lead the Cloudflare One portfolio. You are not someone to simply manage a steady ship; you are someone to invent the next generation of Access, Gateway, and WAN, unlocking new Total Addressable Markets (TAM) in the SASE space while executing your way into being the market leader for the current Service Addressable Market (SAM).

Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience:

• A deep empathy for customers and an understanding of the fundamental shifts happening in technology, the SSE and SASE space, especially around AI

• Proven experience in a senior leadership role (e.g., former founder, Sr. Director, VP, CTO), having built and scaled both products and teams

• An entrepreneurial spirit with enterprise etiquette and a history of building things, whether in a successful venture or a passionate side project

• Proven ability to pivot instantly from technical deep-dives to high-level strategic discussions

Must-Have Skills

• 12+ years of experience in product management or a closely related role, with a focus on network and data security technologies (e.g., ZTNA, Gateways, DLP, CASB, data encryption, data classification, data privacy)

• Own the SASE product roadmap. Make tough tactical prioritization decisions while helping the company think long-term. Build trust with stakeholders by maintaining an understandable, accurate roadmap

• Partner with leaders in other departments such as Product Marketing, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Support to drive adoption with and gather feedback from customers and prospects

• Develop and nurture relationships with engineering leadership and coordinate closely to ensure successful delivery of product

• Deep understanding of the network and security landscapes, including current trends and threats, regulatory requirements, and emerging technologies

Nice to haves

• An understanding and real-world experience working with all types of channel partners (VARs, MSP, MSSP, etc)

• A Computer Science degree or equivalent in-seat experience in product roles for technical products is highly preferred

• Experience leading product integrations during post-merger acquisitions (M&A)

• Deep familiarity with Zero Trust architecture and SD-WAN markets

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.

Sound like something you’d like to be a part of? We’d love to hear from you!
