Executive Assistant- Network & Infrastructure Strategy

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.

We’re looking for a bright, proactive, and detail-oriented Executive Assistant to support our VP of Capacity Planning and Infrastructure and our VP of Infrastructure - Network Strategy. In this role, you aren’t just managing a calendar; you are the "central point person" ensuring our leaders stay organized, prioritized, and productive as we scale. This requires a seasoned professional who understands the importance of the EA role in supporting our leaders and prides themselves on building the internal and external relationships necessary to get things done.

You’ll handle expense reports through Navan and ensure every detail is secured and up-to-date. Project Leadership: Own small-to-medium projects, creating high-quality presentations and spreadsheets. You’ll track action items for recurring meetings (Weekly, Monthly, All Hands) and ensure owners follow through. Mission Control: Act as a trusted communicator who understands the "why" behind business priorities. You’ll prepare agendas and data for meetings, ensuring your executives are equipped with everything they need to succeed. Team Collaboration: Our EA team has a high degree of camaraderie and so the ideal candidate values partnering closely with their peers and fostering teamwork, helping to make Cloudflare a welcoming, inclusive place for everyone. Desired Skills and Experience Experience: Typically 6+ years of related experience, ideally in a high-growth environment supporting senior leaders. Problem Solving: You are a "skilled specialist" who completes complex tasks in resourceful ways. You anticipate logistical needs before they are explicitly stated. Communication: Excellent verbal and written skills. You can distill complex information into clear language and share relevant info in a way everyone understands. Integrity: You act with a high level of discretion, doing the right thing even when it’s hard and focusing on the long-term best interest of the company. Technical Savvy: Expert-level knowledge of Google Suite and major airline platforms. Mindset: Personable with a "can-do" attitude. You lead with empathy, assume good intentions, and treat everyone with respect. 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.
