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
We’re hiring a Senior Product Marketing Manager to drive cybersecurity product marketing strategy. This is a hybrid role for a T-shaped marketer—someone with technical fluency in cloud security, networking, and threat prevention domains, combined with the storytelling and messaging chops to craft compelling narratives for CxOs, IT leaders, and practitioners alike.
You’ll work cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Field, and Demand Generation teams to lead go-to-market execution, shape product positioning, and create content that cuts through complexity and connects to customer pain.
Key Responsibilities
Messaging & Positioning
- Deeply understand product capabilities, architecture, and integrations to influence roadmap narratives and product-led growth motions.
- Translate technical capabilities into differentiated messaging for multiple audiences—from CISO to security architect.
- Develop positioning frameworks, value propositions, and customer-facing stories across use cases like Zero Trust, SASE, SD-WAN, and secure networking.
- Also able to create technically credible content (e.g., solution briefs, whitepapers, demo narratives, competitive comparisons) that supports sales engineers and field marketing.
- Partner with technical sellers and PM’s to align positioning with roadmap, features, and technical differentiators
Go-to-Market Strategy & Execution
- Define and execute launch plans, including messaging, sales enablement, web content, analyst briefings, and campaign themes.
- Lead messaging and GTM motions for high-value industries (healthcare, media, financial services, etc.) based on buyer insights, pain points, and compliance drivers. Work with regional as well industry specialists and customer-facing teams to create use case collateral and personas by segment. Build assets like battle cards, ROI tools, customer stories, vertical playbooks, and objection handling guides. Deliver field training and participate in key account engagements as a subject matter expert. Collaborate closely with demand gen and campaign teams to drive pipeline and revenue growth. Support analyst and customer briefings, working closely with AR, PR, and customer marketing teams.
**Qualifications **
- 8–12+ years in product marketing, with deep knowledge and direct experience in cybersecurity and networking (cloud, endpoint, Zero Trust, etc.).
- Technical fluency - you can confidently talk to a room of security architects without a translator, but know how to zoom out for the boardroom.
- Strategic storyteller—skilled at crafting messaging that’s crisp, audience-aware, and drives emotional as well as rational buy-in.
- Strong understanding of GTM best practices.
- Thrive in cross-functional environments—aligning product, field, demand gen, and exec stakeholders around common narratives. Are intellectually curious, customer-obsessed, and unafraid to challenge assumptions or dive deep into technical discussions when needed. High sense of urgency and entrepreneurial work ethic required to drive business outcomes. Impeccable verbal and written communication skills, obsessive attention to detail. Confident presenter, on stage, video, webinars.** **Team player, ready to go above and beyond to ensure team success.

**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 released1.1.1.1 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 ourprivacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
