As we continue to build out our Business Partner team, we are looking for a trusted advisor who is naturally curious about what we do and driven to help our people thrive.

In this role, you will report to the Head of Business Partners-EMEA and support our strategic initiatives, partnering closely with the team and managers to develop and implement proactive solutions for a broad scope of activities, ensuring alignment on initiatives and priorities, maintaining open and transparent lines of communication and keeping our teams thriving and well supported.

You will serve as a strategic partner on a broad range of issues that help support the inevitable changes that rate of growth entails including talent planning, coaching, policy and program development, employee experience, engagement and development, performance, compensation and more.

We passionately believe in leadership at all levels, and our fast growth has created a special opportunity to really stretch our team members to acquire new skills and grow on the job.

You will help us get better at this by spending time with our people and developing and implementing programs that are responsive to our people’s 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 served on a People / HR team with 10+ years of experience.
• You have an entrepreneurial spirit and are always looking for ways to innovate.
• You have built at least one program from the ground up.
• You have a demonstrated history of building relationships and credibility across all levels of an organization.
• You operate independently and present solutions instead of problems, as well as a successful history of developing strong relationships.

• You have a keen business acumen and a track record of partnering closely with business leaders.
• You can articulate how People teams bring value to an organization and are able to quickly develop the business case for People Team initiatives.
• Uncompromising when it comes to your integrity, you speak truth, act with respect and lead with dignity.
• Others have described you as a skilled generalist : while you do not need to be an expert in all disciplines, you can speak fluently on and have a passion for topics such as employee engagement, coaching, org planning, compensation, diversity and inclusion and learning.

Maybe you are even an expert in one of these areas!

• You have participated in large-scale change initiatives and have a few stories about leading a few.
• You are a skilful communicator, verbally in small and large groups, as well as written through emails or on wikis. Yet your favorite way to communicate, especially when the message may be difficult to receive, is face-to-face.

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.

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.
