Head of GTM, AI Inference

About Us 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. Location : New York, NY or San Francisco, CA About the Role Cloudflare is building one of the most differentiated AI inference platforms in the market. We aren’t building another commoditized GPU-by-the-hour provider, but a globally distributed, serverless inference platform integrated into the world's largest developer ecosystem. We need someone to own the go-to-market strategy for this business. As Head of GTM, AI Inference, you will be the connective tissue between our cutting-edge AI infrastructure, our product teams, and the global market. You'll work directly with Workers AI prospects evaluating Cloudflare as a source of GPU capacity, partner with product leadership to shape how we position and package our inference capabilities, and build the analytical frameworks that help us pursue the right customers and partners -- not just the most obvious ones. This is not a role where you execute a playbook someone else wrote. You'll write the playbook, pressure-test it against real market signals, and rewrite it as the landscape shifts. You'll need to be as comfortable building a financial model for inference unit economics as you are running a strategic sales conversation with an AI-native startup's CTO. What You'll Do Market Strategy & Positioning Own Cloudflare's GTM strategy for AI inference, defining how we compete beyond the commoditized GPU/hour model that dominates the market Develop and continuously refine our positioning around Cloudflare's structural advantages: serverless GPU pricing, edge-distributed infrastructure, and integration with the broader developer platform (Workers, R2, D1, Agents SDK) Identify and size the customer and partner segments where Cloudflare's inference model creates disproportionate value -- and have the discipline to deprioritize segments where it doesn't Own and drive promotional strategies with key model partners to accelerate the adoption of new models and inference capacity. Strategic Sales & Revenue Partner directly with Workers AI prospects and high-value accounts evaluating Cloudflare for GPU capacity and inference workloads Lead strategic sales conversations that go beyond feature comparison -- helping prospects understand the architectural and economic advantages of our approach Collaborate with Sales and Developer GTM leadership to build repeatable qualification frameworks and deal structures for inference revenue Market Intelligence & Cross-Functional Leadership Serve as Cloudflare's primary listener and synthesizer for inference market signals: pricing shifts, competitive moves, model ecosystem changes, and emerging workload patterns Broker internal conversations across Product, Strategy, Engineering, and GTM leadership to translate market intelligence into product and commercial decisions Partner with the AI Gateway / Models Marketplace team to align strategy across both the hosting and consumption sides of the model ecosystem -- ensuring our GTM motion is coherent whether a customer is running models on our infrastructure or consuming them through our marketplace Analytics & Business Rigor Build the analytical foundations for the inference business: unit economics models, customer segmentation frameworks, win/loss analysis, and pipeline forecasting Define and track the metrics that matter for an inference business at our stage -- going beyond vanity metrics to signal real product-market fit and revenue quality Use data to challenge assumptions, including your own, and to make the case for strategic pivots when the market warrants them What We're Looking For Significant experience in GTM strategy, revenue leadership, or strategic sales within AI infrastructure, cloud compute, or developer platforms Deep understanding of the AI inference landscape: model serving economics, GPU capacity dynamics, the competitive field from hyperscalers to startups Strong analytical foundation -- you can build a model, interrogate a data set, and translate numbers into strategy. Experience in investment banking, management consulting, or a quantitative operating role is a plus Demonstrated ability to sell strategically at a senior level -- not just closing deals, but shaping how a product is sold and to whom Track record of operating at the intersection of product and go-to-market, influencing roadmap and positioning decisions with market evidence Extreme comfort with ambiguity and speed. This market moves weekly; you must synthesize quickly, make decisions with imperfect data, and course-correct without drama Excellent written and verbal communication. You'll be presenting to Cloudflare's executive team, briefing product leadership, and running prospect conversations -- often in the same day Entrepreneurial instinct. You've either built something yourself or operated in an environment where you had to figure it out without a large support structure Bonus Points Experience at an AI infrastructure company (inference provider, model marketplace, GPU cloud) or as a technical co-founder Familiarity with Cloudflare's developer platform and network architecture Background that blends finance/analytics with hands-on GTM execution -- the "recovered investment banker" who chose to go build rather than advise Compensation Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location. Equity This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan. Benefits Cloudflare offers a complete package of benefits and programs to support you and your family. Our benefits programs can help you pay health care expenses, support caregiving, build capital for the future and make life a little easier and fun!

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. Sound like something you’d like to be a part of? We’d love to hear from you!
