Role
Who you are

- It also requires the ability to work with team members at all levels, sometimes under pressure
- A high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information is important, as is a positive attitude
- The ideal candidate is a seasoned EA who understands the value in cultivating relationships and prides themselves on being a career EA
- You have 5-8+ years experience as an Executive Assistant in a high growth environment, prior experience supporting senior leaders
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Working knowledge of Google Suite and major airline carrier’s platforms
- Exhibits a strong work ethic, professionalism, confidentiality and good judgment
- Incredibly organized and resourceful, able to juggle and multi-task with acute attention to detail and follow through
- Personable with a can do attitude that sees no task or project to be too small or too big. Comfortable setting boundaries and respectfully pushing back when necessary to protect time and priorities

What the job involves
- Cloudflare is looking for a bright, proactive and detail-oriented Senior Executive Assistant to support the Chief Security Officer
- The role involves complex itinerary management, visa processing, and the ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances. Confidentiality and a proactive approach are paramount
- Admin: Provide excellent administrative support for members of the Executive Leadership team exercising high attention to detail and discretion to every matter.

Provide agendas, detailed data, information and resources in preparation for meetings
- Calendar: Proactively own and flawlessly execute on calendars, prioritizing with purpose, deflecting with tact, and understanding both the short- and long-term impacts of each confirmed, declined, and rescheduled meeting. Ensure the leaders are equipped with all the necessary meeting information and manage inbound and outbound requests. If you enjoy “playing Tetris” with different Time Zones and schedules to help people get together, that would be a plus!

Our take
Cloudflare is a multi-service global network that provides web security and infrastructure, DDoS mitigation services, and a content delivery network. Founded in 2009, Cloudflare has risen to become an industry giant, with around 25 million global internet properties on its network.
Cloudflare has been responsible for a number of admirable initiatives, offering free web protection to human rights groups, journalists, artists, and US election websites. This goes some way to counteracting the flak Cloudflare has received in some circles for the controversial groups and users who use its services. This chequered history, however, has not affected its over 80% market share in the content delivery network field.
This is perhaps in part because it has proven sharp at staying abreast of the rapidly morphing tech and digital space and customer demands. For example, Cloudflare is shifting to 100% renewable energy usage to create a zero-emissions internet, and in 2020 released a feature that would help users navigate data privacy regulations by selecting where their data is stored.
The cloud infrastructure market reached $53 billion in 2022. While the Big 3 (Amazon, Microsoft, and Google) own 65% of the market, that still leaves billions of dollars left for companies such as Cloudflare. Its ambitious and successful work is likely to continue being a crucial feature of the web, but in 2023, placed it in the crosshairs of hackers looking to exploit its infrastructure. The beginning of 2024 saw Cloudflare vow to bolster its security and patch vulnerabilities.
