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.</p> </div></div><p><strong>Sales Director, US Majors Financials</strong></p> <p><strong>Must live in one of these states and be willing to travel to customers within this patch: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut</strong></p> <p><strong>About the Role</strong></p> <p>Cloudflare is looking for an experienced and dynamic First Line Sales Leader to drive and manage our US Enterprise Majors sales team.
