Executive Assistant

Hybrid

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

Cloudflare is looking for a bright, proactive, and detail-oriented Executive Assistant to support two leaders in our Security organization, the Head of Cloudforce One and VP Product Delivery and Security. We are looking for a dynamic and dedicated candidate who is comfortable with multi-tasking and prioritization in a fast-speed environment with close attention to detail, accuracy, and timeliness.

In this role, you will work on complex issues requiring an in-depth evaluation of variable factors. You will determine methods on new assignments, coordinate the efforts of others, and network extensively with key contacts across the business.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Calendar Optimization: Strategically plan the long-term calendar with minimal direction, aligning it seamlessly with executive and business priorities. Act as a trusted sounding board to optimize the executives' schedules and time.
• Travel & Logistics Ownership: Own all trip-related matters from end to end, serving as the central point person for all domestic and international travel logistics.
• Communication & Inbox Management: Manage the executives' communications - prioritizing incoming requests, handling sensitive information with strict confidentiality, identifying urgent matters, and drafting responses with oversight. Serve as a trusted communicator with a strong knowledge of business priorities and their impact on the managers and the broader team.
• Project Management & Deliverables: Independently manage small-to-medium projects and determine administrative methods for new initiatives with little direction. Create executive-level materials, including presentations and spreadsheets, with minimal guidance.
• Core Administrative Support: Prepare and manage expense reports, coordinate internal/external meeting needs, and assist with event planning as needed.
• Community Leadership & Mentorship: Serve as a recognized leader within the admin community. Take an active role in interviewing, training, and formally mentoring other administrative staff, while helping to coordinate team-wide efforts.

Requirements

• 5+ years: Of experience as an Executive Assistant, preferably in a high-growth environment.
• Analytical Scope & Judgment: Proven experience tackling complex issues that require an in-depth evaluation of variable factors, with the ability to determine methods on new assignments independently.
• Communication Excellence: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; trusted to interact with key contacts and senior leadership across the organization.
• Autonomy & Proactiveness: Exceptional ability to manage your own time, hit the ground running, and take absolute charge of the position with minimal direction.
• Technical & Material Creation: Proficient in building professional presentations, managing spreadsheets, and drafting high-level correspondence.
• Mindset: A "no task is too small" attitude paired with the high-level strategic thinking needed to optimize an executive's day-to-day operations.

Bonus Points

• AI Experience: Familiarity with using AI tools to streamline administrative tasks and increase efficiency.
• Google Workspace: Strong proficiency with Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, and Sheets).
• Navan Experience: Prior experience using Navan for booking travel and managing expenses.

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.
