Senior Customer Engagement Manager

Cloudflare is looking for a Sr. Customer Engagements Manager to shape how we engage, grow, and deepen relationships with our most strategic enterprise customers while driving our most important executive engagements. This high‑visibility role sits at the intersection of GTM growth strategy, cross‑functional operations, executive influence, and narrative development.

You will work alongside account teams to understand what each customer cares about most, then translate that into a focused engagement strategy: shaping the narrative, preparing the executives who will be in the room, and designing the conversation to surface the customer's real business challenges. You will also build the frameworks and playbooks that allow this work to scale across the broader Executive Engagements Programs.

We’re looking for a resourceful, entrepreneurial individual who thrives in ambiguous situations, can think critically under pressure, and can manage relationships and build consensus with stakeholders at all levels. If you can roll up your sleeves and navigate complex challenges without a playbook, while applying strong conceptual and analytical problem‑solving skills, we’d love to hear from you.
