Senior Named Account Executive, Benelux

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. Available Location: Netherlands (remote) "What kind of customer value can you build with a true global network at your disposal?" The internet was not built for what it has become today. As enterprises race to adopt AI and secure their digital existence, the old infrastructure maps no longer apply. We aren't just looking for a salesperson to sell a product; we are looking for a Market Architect for the Benelux region. Cloudflare is currently protecting and accelerating the internet for over 20% of the Fortune 1,000. With a network spanning 310 cities in 120+ countries, we are the only platform capable of securing the intersection of AI, Cloud, and Cybersecurity at a massive scale. Now, we need a Senior Challenger in the form of a Named Account Executive to hand this toolkit to the largest organizations in the Benelux. You will challenge the status quo, helping CTOs and CISOs rethink their entire architecture from the network up. The Mission: Build. Challenge. Lead. You won't just capture demand; you will create it. Your role is to act as the "CEO" of your territory, mobilizing resources to build long-term value for global accounts headquartered in the Benelux. Construct the Market (The Market Maker) You are a builder. You will identify how global Benelux enterprises can leverage our network to accelerate their digital transformation. You will move beyond transactional sales to construct complex, high-impact deals that transform how a company operates, driving both new business and significant expansion. Chorale the C-Suite (The Challenger) You will engage senior IT, security, and business stakeholders, not just to listen, but to challenge their assumptions. You will guide technology leaders through the shift to SASE, Zero Trust, and AI-native environments, positioning yourself as a trusted consultant rather than a vendor. You are credible with technical and executive buyers alike, capable of navigating the boardroom to align Cloudflare’s platform with their most critical business priorities. Orchestrate the Eco-System (The Leader) You are the Captain of the account team. You will mobilize and lead a cross-functional "village", including Solutions Engineers, Product leaders, and Marketing to deliver value-based outcomes. You will act as a Global Accounts Specialist, managing the complexity of Benelux-HQ'd organizations with a worldwide footprint, ensuring their global security strategy is cohesive and resilient. Yo
