About Us
At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies.
We protect and accelerate any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks.
We were named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.
About the Team
The Developer GTM organization is a startup within Cloudflare, driving how we attract, inspire, and grow the next generation of builders. We are redefining what developer acquisition looks like in a world where AI and distributed agents are reshaping the stack.
Our mission is to create new pathways for developers to discover Cloudflare, whether through ecosystem partnerships, high impact content, or creative field engagement. We are builders, storytellers, and connectors united by one goal: to make Cloudflare the most exciting place for developers to build.
What You Will Do
- Own the global DSS strategy and operating model. Define goals, scorecards, and cadences for regional teams (usage activation, expansion, proposal velocity, win rate, disciplined discounting, sourced/influenced pipeline).
- Build and lead a high-performing, distributed org. Hire, develop, and coach regional Managers; set expectations, run QBRs, and establish a clear career ladder for Solution Strategists.
- Drive activation → expansion for priority workloads. Ensure teams use usage telemetry to identify “next-best actions,” expansion paths, and strategic accounts; publish a weekly global “usage radar.”
- Standardize commercial design. Maintain global proposal templates, option frameworks (PAYG vs. commit), ROI/TCO narratives, concession “give/get” rules, and approval SLAs.
- Run pipeline and deal reviews. Establish a global rhythm for opportunity triage, strategic deal reviews, and win/loss analysis; surface systemic blockers and drive resolution with Sales, Deal Desk, Security, and Legal.
- Enable the field at scale. Ship workload blueprints, playbooks, calculators, objection handling, and talk tracks; run monthly regional enablement with Sales leadership and measure adoption and lift.
- Close the loop with Product & PMM. Translate field insights into clear, quantified recommendations on positioning, packaging, limits, and roadmap; track impact ($) of changes.
- Partner with Programs. Support startups/accelerators and targeted campaigns with BDR/Marketing, with a clear sunset plan as regions become self-sufficient.
- Forecasting & planning. Own DSS headcount planning, coverage models by segment/geo, and quarterly objectives; partner with RevOps for attribution and instrumentation.
- Culture & quality. Raise the bar on writing, narrative clarity, and executive communication; model Cloudflare’s values in every region.
