Role
Who you are
- Strategic Product Leadership: 5+ years of PM experience, with a proven track record of owning and scaling complex enterprise security products in a high-growth environment
- Competitive Closer Mindset: Demonstrated experience building products designed to win in a highly competitive market, with a focus on feature differentiation and "displacement" strategy
- Zero Trust Fluency: A deep understanding of modern security architectures and the value of a unified platform approach (Identity, Device, and Data security)
- Analytical Power: The ability to leverage large-scale datasets to build intuitive, "recommendation-driven" features that help security teams work smarter
- Exceptional Storytelling: A marketing-oriented communication style that turns technical roadmaps into exciting, visionary narratives for both internal and external audiences
- Operational Excellence: High ownership of the entire product lifecycle, from high-fidelity PRDs to collaborating with cross-functional teams for global launches
- Technical Credibility: Comfortable navigating architectural trade-offs with senior engineers regarding mail flow (M365/Google Workspace), cloud infrastructure, and API performance
Desirable
- Threat Intelligence Knowledge: Familiarity with the mechanics of modern email threats and how ML can be used for detection
- UX/UI Passion: A strong eye for dashboard design and data visualization, ensuring security tools are as beautiful as they are functional
- Developer Mindset: Experience building or managing developer-facing products or APIs
What the job involves
- Email remains the most trusted—yet most targeted—communication channel in the enterprise. Cloudflare is building the next generation of email security, evolving a proven platform trusted by Fortune 500 and Global 2000 organizations
- We’re looking for a Product Manager III to own the complete vision: accelerating a world-class email security platform that is fast, secure, and natively integrated with Cloudflare’s Zero Trust stack
- In this role, you will lead the charge in defining how the world’s most sophisticated organizations protect their communication, leading the industry's shift away from legacy "boxes" toward an AI-first, cloud-native, and identity-aware security posture
- Define the Next-Gen Vision: Architect and own the strategic roadmap for our Email Security solution, ensuring Cloudflare remains the definitive answer to evolving threats like Business Email Compromise (BEC) and advanced phishing
- Drive New Logo Wins: Act as the strategic engine for growth, building the features and competitive differentiators needed to displace legacy incumbents and win the hearts of Global 2000 CISOs
- Translate Data into Action: Partner with engineering to build intuitive reporting and visualization tools that turn massive amounts of threat data into clear, actionable insights for CISOs & security practitioners
- Enrich the Zero Trust Ecosystem: Bolster the seamless integration of Email Security into the broader Cloudflare stack, architecting a "better together" experience that bridges Gateway, CASB, and DLP into a single, powerhouse defense layer
- Own the Integration Ecosystem: Expand our reach by building robust, seamless integrations with third-party enterprise tools, ensuring Cloudflare is the heartbeat of the customer's security stack
- Evangelize the Platform: Serve as a technical and strategic leader, representing the Email Security vision to internal stakeholders, the sales field, and the broader security community
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.
