Description
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.

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
