for this role - you will have the opportunity to build your consultative and business partnering skills, if you decide to pursue that path. You will spend time with our people to help improve current programs and implement new policies and systems that are responsive to their needs, echo our values and will scale as we continue to grow globally. 

 

Who You Are: 

Motivated by cultivating company culture, building great businesses and helping people do their best work. You have been part of a People/HR team with at least 5 years of experience dealing with policies, programs and employee relations.

You are generous with your time with all of our people and earn and maintain their trust. Your priority in this role will be to make it easy for all our employees to do their best work. 

 

You have a deep curiosity about our business and want to learn, stretch and grow. Uncompromising when it comes to your integrity, you speak truth, act with respect and lead with empathy. You are a skillful communicator, both in your verbal communications in small and large groups, and in your written communications internally and externally. Yet your favourite way to communicate, especially when the message may be difficult to receive, is face-to-face (even virtually). You love working with people - you maybe secretly love working with spreadsheets too. You have strong time management skills, showing ability and willingness to work within constantly changing priorities linked to a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

What Makes Cloudflare Special?

We’re not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We’re a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.

Project Galileo: We equip politically and artistically important organizations and journalists 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: We created 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.

Path Forward Partnership: Since 2016, we have partnered with Path Forward, a nonprofit organization, to create 16-week positions for mid-career professionals who want to get back to the workplace after taking time off to care for a child, parent, or loved one.

1.1.1.1: We released 1.1.1.1 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 our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
