About the Role

The Cloudflare APAC sales organisation operates as one integrated revenue system. Account Executives, Customer Engineers, Partner Account Managers, Business Development Representatives, Customer Experience Managers, Professional Services and Revenue Operations work as a continuous engine — winning, deploying, adopting, expanding, and scaling platform commitments across the full customer lifecycle.

The system is supported by an AI-embedded operating model. The work itself, however, remains human. The role of every seller at Cloudflare is to bring critical thinking, judgment, and trust to customer relationships and outcomes.

In this role, you will be responsible for driving significant growth by landing and expanding a portfolio of assigned customers in your assigned territory. The ideal candidate possesses a strong blend of sales acumen and technical understanding, enabling them to engage effectively with both technical and non-technical buyers. As a Senior Territory Account Executive, you will drive revenue velocity by utilizing foundational sales data layers for accurate forecasting, proactive pipeline management, and consistently exceeding attainment targets.

You are the kind of operator who uses AI as a force multiplier every day, cares more about customer outcomes than job boundaries, and demonstrates curiosity, judgment, and high agency.
