Role
Who you are
- Cloudflare is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Go-To-Market Operations Product Manager Intern to join our team for the spring semester
- We're looking for someone who thrives on solving complex problems and excels at designing efficient, scalable processes and is eager to build the operational foundation for a key hardware product
- Currently pursuing a degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Operations, Logistics, or a related field
- Someone with a strong interest in process design, operational efficiency, and solving interesting logistical puzzles
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage with both external partners and internal teams
- A self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity and eager to take initiative
- Ability to commit to a 16-week internship
- In office 3-5 days a week in Austin, TX
- Internship dates: January 12, 2026 - May 1, 2026
- Bonus skills: Familiarity with networking, SD-WAN, or other tech-related concepts. A background in both computer science/networking and industrial engineering would be a significant asset, but is not required
What the job involves
- This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of a critical, real-world project that directly impacts our business and customer satisfaction
- You'll work closely with the product manager for our Magic WAN Connector, a new hardware offering that simplifies connecting customer branch offices to Cloudflare’s network and security services
- Our Magic WAN Connector is a core component of our growing product portfolio, and we are focused on scaling its delivery to meet increasing customer demand
- As an appliance-based product, its success depends on a seamless, efficient, and scalable supply chain
- We've built strong relationships with key hardware partners like Dell and TD Synnex, and we now need a dedicated owner to optimize and formalize these processes as we expand globally
- You will guide and lead our manufacturing partners to meet our customers’ expectations as well as drive Operational Excellence for Cloudflare
- This is not just an internship; it's a chance to build the foundation for a critical business function
- Process Design & Optimization: Analyze and map out the end-to-end hardware logistics process, from manufacturing and fulfillment to customer delivery. Identify opportunities to improve efficiency and design new, scalable solutions that streamline our hardware delivery workflow. You will develop and document repeatable, global processes for everything from proof-of-concept programs to warranty return RMAs
- Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary point of contact for key hardware partners (Dell, TD Synnex) and internal teams, including sales, operations, and product management. You will help define SLAs and streamline communications to ensure smooth handoffs and clear accountability
- Demand Planning: Define forecasting methodologies to provide clear demand signals and support inventory planning
- Documentation: Create and formalize a repeatable process for hardware logistics and supply chain that can be used as a blueprint for future growth
- Project Management: Take full ownership of key projects, from initial discovery and analysis through to implementation and execution
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 over 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.
And impressive third-quarter 2025 results show strong momentum, with revenue rising to $562 million from $430 million a year earlier. The company also raised its full-year guidance, underscoring confidence in continued growth. As demand for secure, cloud-based infrastructure keeps growing, Cloudflare's expanding platform and improving efficiency leave it well positioned to capture further gains in a rapidly growing market.
