Senior Director of Developer Product Marketing

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. 

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.

About the Role

The Senior Director of Developer Product Marketing is the strategic lead for how Cloudflare’s developer platform is perceived and adopted in the global market. While our Product Managers build the "what," you own the "why," the "who," and the "how we win." You will lead the team responsible for defining the narrative for Workers, Workers AI, R2, and the broader developer ecosystem, ensuring our story resonates with everyone from solo builders to CTOs at Fortune 500 companies.

In this role, you will move beyond tactical growth loops to focus on the core tenets of Product Marketing: Positioning, Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy, Market Intelligence, and Sales/Field Readiness. You will be the primary bridge between a highly technical Product organization and our global Sales, Marketing, and Developer Relations teams.

What You Will Do

• Strategic Positioning & Messaging: Define the category-level narrative for the Cloudflare Developer Platform. Create high-impact positioning that differentiates our "Connectivity Cloud" from legacy hyperscalers and niche compute providers.
• Go-to-Market Orchestration: Lead the end-to-end GTM strategy for new products and major feature launches. You will orchestrate the transition from "feature ready" to "market ready," ensuring all internal and external channels are aligned.
• Market & Competitive Intelligence: Act as the "outside-in" voice for the developer organization. Conduct deep competitive analysis and market research to influence the product roadmap and arm our field teams with "how to win" battlecards.
• Field & Sales Enablement: Partner with the Sales and Solutions Engineering leadership to build the playbook for selling to developers and technical buyers. Translate complex technical capabilities into value-based selling tools, demos, and training.
• Customer Insights & Advocacy: Develop a deep understanding of our developer personas. Work with our customers to develop case studies and technical proof points that validate our platform’s impact at scale.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Serve as a strategic partner to Product Management. While PMs own the product delivery and technical onboarding, you own the market success and the cohesive developer story across the entire Cloudflare portfolio.
• Team Leadership: Recruit and mentor a high-performing team of Product Marketers and Content Strategists, fostering a culture of excellence in storytelling and strategic thinking.

Who You Are

• A Master Strategist: You have a proven track record of taking complex developer technologies and turning them into clear, compelling market narratives. You think in terms of market categories and value props, not just feature lists.
• Technically Credible: You are comfortable "talking shop" with developers and PMs. You understand the nuances of serverless, edge computing, and AI architectures, and you know how to translate those into business outcomes.
• GTM Expert: You have led large-scale launches in the DevOps, Cloud, or Infrastructure space. You know how to align a global organization around a single launch moment.
• Collaborative Leader: You excel at navigating high-growth, PM-led organizations. You know how to provide the "marketing layer" that complements technical product ownership without stepping on toes.
• Data-Driven, Narrative-Led: You use market data and competitive signals to inform your strategy, but you rely on your storytelling instincts to win hearts and minds.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in Product Marketing, with a significant focus on developer-facing tools or infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS).
• Experience leading PMM teams in a high-velocity, technical environment (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Vercel, Stripe).
• Demonstrated ability to influence product roadmaps through market research and competitive intelligence.
• Exceptional writing and presentation skills—you can write the keynote and the technical whitepaper.

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: 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.
