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.
At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in.

Cloudflare is looking for a Director of Strategic Finance & Investor Relations to serve as a key leader on our Investor Relations team and a trusted partner to the CFO, CEO, and senior leadership. This role reports to the VP of Strategic Finance, Treasury, Deal Desk, & Investor Relations and is the engine room of how Cloudflare tells its financial story to the public markets — translating one of the most differentiated technology platforms in the world into a clear, credible, and compelling investment narrative.
You will own the end-to-end quarterly earnings cycle, drive our long-term financial model and consensus discipline, partner directly with the CFO and senior leadership on guidance, and lead the analytical and communications work behind every major investor and analyst touchpoint — quarterly calls, conferences, our annual Investor Day, and ad-hoc executive projects. You will be the connective tissue between Finance, Accounting, Legal, Communications, Product, Sales, and the executive team, and the person who makes sure every number, every claim, and every word we put in front of Wall Street is accurate.
This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role on a very lean IR team. We move fast, we ship work that goes directly to the CEO, CFO, Board, and public markets, and we hold ourselves to an exceptionally high bar on accuracy — and we are AI-native in how we work, treating modern tooling as a force multiplier on insight, productivity, and rigor.

Quarterly earnings and consensus management
Investor engagement and external communications
Investor Day and special projects
Cross-functional partnership and analytics
To succeed in this role, you should be a strategic thinker with deep financial acumen, exceptional written and verbal communication skills, an ownership mindset, and a genuine intellectual curiosity about both the business and the public markets. Specifically:
Compensation
Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.
Equity
This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.

Time Off
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.
