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.

Cloudflare protects and accelerates 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. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine's Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World's Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.

We realize people do not fit into neat boxes. We are looking for curious and empathetic individuals who are committed to developing themselves and learning new skills, and we are ready to help you do that.

We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. We hire the best people based on an evaluation of their potential and support them throughout their time at Cloudflare.

Public Policy at Cloudflare

Cloudflare is one of the most dynamic and innovative companies operating on the Internet. At a time when policy and regulation are fundamentally changing the Internet and the way tech companies do business, we believe it is important to engage in discussions with governments to share Cloudflare's unique approach.

Cloudflare's Public Policy team works on complicated and rapidly evolving policy issues, such as cybersecurity, privacy, intermediary liability, law enforcement access to data, and regulation of cloud services.

Job Description

We're looking for a new team member to create a government relations function within the Cloudflare Public Policy team. As the Director, Global Government Relations & Partnerships, you will help foster and promote our relationships with governments, serving as a liaison between Cloudflare executives and government officials, consistent with Cloudflare's corporate philosophy.

You'll help us develop and communicate real-world solutions to the challenging cybersecurity and technology problems faced by governments around the world.

We're looking for someone who can build and maintain relationships with governments, and has a deep understanding of technology, public sector challenges, and regulatory constraints.

The ideal candidate would be able to transition seamlessly from a technical conversation with engineers to a discussion with high-level government officials about how Cloudflare can help governments achieve their short and long-term technology goals.

Because of the scope, complexity, and diversity of the company's work, our Public Policy team members must be passionate, talented and able to work collaboratively across multi-functional teams to carry the Cloudflare narrative and promote Cloudflare externally.

Responsibilities

As Director, Global Government Relations & Partnerships, you'll help build and execute a government relations plan consistent with the company's business goals and overall philosophy.

This role is ideal for someone who is proactive, energetic, a strategic thinker, a skilled communicator and above all else, someone who has a thirst for knowledge and continued growth, all while working as part of a great team.

The Director, Global Government Relations & Partnerships will report to the VP, Global Head of Public Policy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Work closely with other Public Policy team members to build and maintain relationships with key government stakeholders, and find opportunities to engage business and other third party organizations.
  • Liaise with internal teams, including public sector leadership, to collaborate on priorities and provide advice and recommendations on strategic decisions to assist with business objectives.
  • Advance Cloudflare's business interests by facilitating conversations with government CIOs, CISOs, and other relevant stakeholders.
  • Develop a strategy to build a Public Sector Advisory Council to support strategic business objectives.
  • Identify relevant external events and forums to engage with public sector leaders and expand public sector market access.
  • Manage and direct external consultancies, lobbyists, and trade associations as appropriate to address business needs.
  • Engage with policymakers on authorization and appropriations processes in support of business interests.
  • Develop talking points, policy narratives and presentation materials for use at external events and meetings and for other communication purposes (company blog, position papers etc).
  • Provide timely updates to colleagues from Cloudflare's Public Policy, Legal, Trust & Safety Teams and other internal stakeholders.

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.

We released 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.
