Account Executives, Solution Engineers, and Customer Success - all working together help our customers adopt Cloudflare and create great Internet-enabled experiences. The Revenue team at Cloudflare helps customers solve real, technical problems while creating the revenue streams that help the company provide free service to millions in our community.
What You'll Do
As a Director, Strategic Pursuits, you will build and operate a specialised motion that identifies, wins, and expands a focused set of strategic accounts through executive alignment, architectural influence, and disciplined multi-year account planning. This will involve creating a repeatable engine where a small number of deeply embedded customers drive a disproportionate share of APAC enterprise revenue, expansion, and market credibility. The outcome is more durable revenue, faster expansion, and stronger competitive positioning. A mature Strategic Pursuits motion transforms the APAC business from opportunistic growth to durable, platform-led scale & is a structural growth lever designed to shape the future revenue profile and market position of the APAC business.

Cross-Functional Alignment:
- Lead collaborative efforts with Business Value Architects (BVA), Solution Architects, and all Go-To-Market (GTM) functions, ensuring regional targets are aligned with clear supporting model engagement.
