Public Policy at Cloudflare
Because of the scope, complexity, and diversity of Cloudflare's work, our Public Policy team must be flexible, proactive, and collaborative. We work across multi-functional teams to present policy solutions, carry the Cloudflare narrative, and promote our brand externally.
The APJC (Asia-Pacific, Japan & China) team helps the company anticipate regulatory challenges, advocates for Cloudflare on priority issues, and builds relationships with external partners. In a region with fragmented regulatory regimes, we address fast-moving issues across cybersecurity, AI governance, data privacy, and connectivity.
About the Role
Based in Singapore or Bengaluru, you will support the APJC Public Policy team across three core pillars:
1. Policy Analysis & Research
- Regulatory Tracking: Monitor and evaluate legislative developments across APJC
- Intelligence Mapping: Maintain internal knowledge databases and draft stakeholder maps covering government ministries, regional regulators, and industry bodies.
- Content Development: Assist in drafting talking points, policy narratives, position papers, and consultation responses for regional government stakeholders.
2. Policy Campaigns & Programmatic Work
- AI Advocacy: Support the execution of AI-focused policy programs and campaigns, identifying partnership opportunities with governments and civil society.
- Regional Engagement: Help coordinate Cloudflare's participation in regional forums and multi-stakeholder organizations.
- External Representation: Help prepare materials for external events, meetings, and thought leadership pieces (e.g., company blog posts) to amplify Cloudflare's regional voice.
3. Internal Operations & AI Innovation
- AI Tooling & Automation: Actively build and deploy AI-driven tools to streamline policy tracking, research, and internal reporting workflows. Leveraging internal AI tools to synthesize vast amounts of public policy data into actionable insights, ensuring the team can respond to legislative shifts with higher speed and accuracy.
- Cross-Functional Support: Provide real-time updates to Legal, Trust & Safety, and Sales teams, ensuring policy insights are translated into actionable business intelligence.
- Commercial Enablement: Compile localized materials to help sales and marketing teams respond to policy-related inquiries from regional customers.
