Description
At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request. As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company.
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 Department
Security at Cloudflare is a diverse, focused team committed to helping secure both Cloudflare and our customers. The Security Technical Program Management team sits at the cross-section of engineering, security, and business. We define, align, and drive the strategic security programs that reduce risk and advance innovation across Cloudflare, while partnering to build the best solutions for our customers.
About the Role
We need to solve big security challenges at scale. As a Technical Program Manager focused on Enterprise Identity and Access Management (EIAM), you will help discover, define, and drive the execution of workforce access programs that ensure the right people have the right access to the right resources at the right time. You will work with the Security team and all of our stakeholders to:
- Partner with the Enterprise Identity and Access Management team as their dedicated Technical Program Manager, driving programs across workforce IAM, and identity governance and administration (IGA)
- Drive adoption and maturity of access management tooling to advance least-privilege, just-in-time access, and self-service request and approval workflows at scale
- Lead the program to restrict access to the IL4 environment — partnering with Security, Legal/Compliance, and infrastructure teams to define eligibility, remediate abnormal access, and stand up sustainable controls and evidence to keep compliant
- Connect with stakeholders through expert communication and diplomacy to maintain alignment and encourage collaboration
- Build automations and AI agents to handle routine program administration at scale
- Utilize AI platforms to consolidate diverse project streams into unified roadmaps, generating initial metrics, status updates, and executive reporting dashboards
- Support the long term program roadmap planning, manage project updates aligned with the roadmap and report on project level OKRs
- Navigate high-ambiguity environments and shifting priorities by pairing sound judgment with AI insights to implement proactive risk-mitigation frameworks
- Identify stakeholders and drive alignment, including dependency identification and tracking
- Manage change to scope, timeline, key results/outcomes and budget
- Maintain a project management framework using milestones, communication plans, decision logs, issues, risks, etc.
- Balance the focus on long term vision and roadmap versus addressing high risk tactical security issues
Examples of Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience
- 8+ years of experience in technical program management and a desire for continuous improvement
- Experience in cybersecurity or security program management in a technical, fast-moving environment
- Working knowledge of IAM concepts — SSO, MFA, identity lifecycle, role-based access control, least privilege, and identity governance and administration (IGA), including access reviews and certifications
- BS in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Security or related field or equivalent experience
- Proven track record of creating realistic project plans, managing dependencies, and overseeing execution to meet commitments with predictability
- Proven track record of effective communication at various levels including executive level
- Hands-on experience or a strong competency in leveraging AI productivity tools and development platforms (e.g., Gemini Gems, OpenCode, etc) to automate routine program administration, with rigorous human-in-the-loop review of AI output
- Comfortable managing tight deadlines, changing priorities, and ambiguity
- Proven ability to forge and sustain effective partnerships internally and externally
- Strong competency with Confluence and Jira and various development methodologies
- Embraces technology including automation and AI augmentation
- Experience working with multiple time zones and cross-functional teams

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: 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 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.
