About the Role

The Finance & BizOps team provides the financial insights and strategic guidance to shape Cloudflare’s growth, profitability, and investment strategy. We are looking for a seasoned, dynamic senior leader to join this team as the dedicated finance partner to the Developer GTM organization, providing the financial clarity and commercial judgment the business needs to succeed. The Developer Platform is one of Cloudflare’s fastest‑growing businesses, spanning compute, storage, AI inference, media, and a growing ecosystem of developer tools delivered through both self‑serve and enterprise go‑to‑market motions. This role is for someone who thrives in this complexity: someone who can work independently across ambiguous problems, build the analysis and frameworks needed, and turn them into actionable recommendations for business leaders.

Responsibilities

• Forecasting and planning: Own the developer platform and self‑serve revenue forecasts, connecting usage trends, contracted commitments, and deployment activity to revenue outcomes. Drive annual and quarterly planning for the developer business, including target‑setting, scenario analysis, and resource allocation.
• Commercial strategy and deal evaluation: Support deal evaluation for strategic transactions—assessing deal structure, payment terms, and margin implications. Work with the Pricing team, Deal Desk, and cross‑functional partners to develop reusable frameworks for consumption‑based and hybrid deal structures. Provide the financial perspective on go/no‑go decisions and partnership economics.
• Product economics and insights: Develop deep visibility into the developer business at meaningful layers of granularity—across products, revenue streams, usage patterns, and cost structures. Partner with R&D Finance and infrastructure teams to connect product economics to commercial outcomes and surface insights that help the business make better decisions about investment and growth.
• Executive reporting and storytelling: Serve as the financial voice of the developer platform to senior leadership—translating complex business performance into clear, narrative‑driven perspectives that shape executive discussions and planning.
• Financial stewardship and reporting: Drive monthly close, forecast, and variance analysis. Own budget management and financial stewardship for the developer business. Understand trends deeply and surface risks and opportunities proactively so that finance stays ahead of the business’s rapid changes.

Desirable Skills, Knowledge, And Experience

• 10+ years of progressive finance experience in investment banking, private equity, FP&A, strategic finance, or a similar highly analytical role, coupled with operational experience at a fast‑paced, scaling company. High‑growth, public‑company SaaS or cloud infrastructure experience preferred.
• Intellectually curious and AI‑native: apply first‑principles logic to multi‑faceted problems, actively incorporate AI tooling into workflows to accelerate analysis and improve decision‑making.
• A builder mindset: energized by ambiguity, take ownership of problems before being asked, comfortable operating with blurred lines of ownership.
• Operating experience as an embedded finance partner to a senior GTM or business leader (VP+) in a technology company. Shaped commercial decisions, not just forecasted them.
• Strong fluency in consumption‑based revenue mechanics, cloud and AI infrastructure economics, and pricing strategy—able to build financial models from scratch for new and evolving business lines.
• Clear, direct communication with outstanding ability to turn numbers into narratives that influence senior leaders.

Compensation

• For Bay Area based hires: Estimated annual salary of $239,000 – $329,000
• For New York City area based hires: Estimated annual salary of $229,000 – $315,000
