About the Department

Customer Success Managers, Account Executives, Business Development Representatives, Solution Engineers, and Sales Operations - all working together to help our customers solve their business challenges by adopting Cloudflare while creating the revenue streams that help the company provide free service to millions in our community.

What you'll do

You will be working in a team of fellow Customer Success Managers that look after a pool of thousands of Enterprise customers, and are responsible for ensuring their success by managing their adoption during the post-sale experiences. 

You will bring strong relationship-building experience, product knowledge, project management, process improvements and organisational skills, as well as a high degree of empathy to ensure the customers’ satisfaction with Cloudflare’s services.

You will maintain a deep understanding of our solutions and present to customers about the most relevant features/functionality for their specific business needs. You are ultimately responsible for the retention of the pool of customers; this is driven through demonstrating the value the products and services provide to the customer’s business mostly via 1:many engagements: office hours, workshops and webinars.

Customer responsibilities:

You will be responsible for ensuring the success of a portfolio of Cloudflare’s contracted customers and managing all of their post-sale experiences. This includes being an escalation point for support issues and directing customer questions.  It is imperative that you manage your time effectively to ensure that you are working on high priority items.

From a commercial perspective, you will be responsible for the success of your customers in your book of business. You will be highly organised, data driven, and able to manage a large portfolio of customers. 

Additional responsibilities will include:

  • Build relationships with customers and internal stakeholders
  • Manage the customer life cycle after contract signature
  • Create, design, improve and deploy processes for our pooled team
  • Demonstrate a high degree of empathy for customer requests
  • Utilise data to uncover potential risks as well as expansion opportunities for customers
  • Work cross-functionally with multiple departments to resolve customer business challenges and work towards their stated goals
  • Ability to escalate appropriately and efficiently.
  • Communicate customer feedback and product needs to appropriate internal teams
  • Continuous learning on Cloudflare’s offering as well as soft skills
  • Co-building collateral material for customers
  • Being strategic: leverage 1:many and 1:1 engagements depending on the context

Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience

  • Fluent in French is a must, Dutch would be a plus
  • Strong communication skills in English (verbal and written) 
  • 3-5 years experience in related field, preferably in cybersecurity
  • Bachelor's degree required - Marketing / Business / IT orientation preferred 
  • Demonstrable organisational skills
  • Experience working directly with customers in a B2B environment
  • Basic understanding of computer networking and “how the internet works.”
  • Natural curiousity to learn about the cloud security industry
  • Experience with account portfolio planning and prioritisation, including Salesforce upkeep
  • Ability to prioritise, multi-task, and perform effectively under pressure
  • Analytical skills: there will be a lot of data, that you will need to transform into information and actions

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.

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.
