We cannot complete our mission without building a diverse and inclusive team. We hire the best people based on an evaluation of their potential and support them throughout their time at Cloudflare. Come join us! 

About the Role

We are not looking for a “been there, done that” approach to physical security in our data centers. We are looking for someone excited about solving physical world challenges with next-generation technology on a global scale. You will be assuming primary responsibility of securing offices and employees globally and lead the vision, strategy, and execution of global corporate security programs & initiatives. 

What You’ll Do

  • Build and lead a global function focused on developing, then implementing physical security programs & initiatives across our offices and employees. This will require traveling to a variety of locations, eventually leading a cross-functional team, building relationships with our internal and external partners, and working in an agile environment. 
  • Establish a long term vision, direction, and roadmap for corporate security globally that  encompasses a “Back to Better” hybrid work environment with a globally distributed and rapidly growing employee base. 
  • Evolve (and automate where possible) physical security standards, process, and operations while ensuring compliance with global and local regulations and certifications.
  • Collaborate with a variety of stakeholders  on:
    • Global office expansions, build outs and renovations by advising on physical security requirements and considerations, then driving related workstreams to successful implementation of recommendations.
    • Day to day operations of physical security, including optimization of physical security guard employments, day to day operations of physical access and video. 
  • Work closely with the People team on security & safety considerations for employees, including issues or incidents that arise individually and/or locally.
  • Partner on design, configuration, deployment, and maintenance of physical security technology to secure offices and/or employees. Run pilots as appropriate to assess if new technologies and services are worthy of longer term investment.
  • Work alongside our Detection and Response (DnR), People, Legal, and Places teams to respond to corporate security incidents and conduct investigations where appropriate.
  • Build and implement travel and event security policy and processes. 
  • Act as the physical security point of contact for emergency response and disaster recovery for our global offices.
  • Work with the Security Compliance team on developing and implementing physical security controls as it relates to various compliance requirements including but not limited to FedRAMP, ISO 27001 and SOC 2; and support internal and external audits of physical security controls.
  • Drive security awareness and compliance across the business and support other Security organization initiatives as needed (i.e. security vendor management).

Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience

  • 8+ years of experience building and leading physical security programs globally
  • Ability to simultaneously manage multiple large scale physical security projects with an emphasis on physical security technology and operations

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.
