Switzerland
About the Role
We are seeking a highly accomplished and strategic Named Account Executive to join our Swiss Sales Team, focused on the German-speaking market. In this senior role, your primary mission is new logo acquisition — identifying, pursuing, and closing net-new strategic enterprise accounts across German-speaking Switzerland — while also driving deep platform adoption and expansion within a defined portfolio of existing accounts. The ideal candidate possesses a sophisticated blend of enterprise sales expertise, executive presence, and genuine technical fluency, enabling them to lead engagements at all levels, from the C-suite to senior technical leaders including CISOs, CTOs, and Heads of Infrastructure.
As a Named Account Executive, you will own your account portfolio end-to-end. You will build multi-year account plans, orchestrate virtual deal teams across Solution Engineers, Deal Desk, Legal, and Product, and position Cloudflare as a critical long-term platform partner for some of Switzerland's most strategic enterprises. You will engage at board and executive level, lead complex multi-stakeholder sales cycles, and consistently exceed new logo and expansion targets. In line with Cloudflare's AI-native culture, you will be expected to leverage AI tools actively in your daily workflow — from prospect research and executive outreach to account planning, meeting preparation, and pipeline management — using them as a genuine force multiplier, not an afterthought.
Responsibilities
New Logo Acquisition
: Drive the identification, pursuit, and closure of net-new strategic enterprise accounts as the primary focus of this role. Build a robust pipeline of high-value prospects through targeted executive outreach, ecosystem engagement, partner channels, and referrals. Consistently bring new logos onto the Cloudflare platform and exceed new business targets each quarter.
Strategic Account Planning
: Develop and execute comprehensive, multi-year account plans for both net-new targets and existing named accounts, with clear prioritisation of new logo opportunities. Maintain a detailed, current view of each account's strategic priorities, buying processes, competitive landscape, and Cloudflare's position within them.
Executive Relationship Management
: Build and sustain long-term, trusted relationships at CISO, CTO, CIO, and board level. Act as a genuine strategic advisor across the full lifecycle of the relationship — bringing proactive insight and a strong point of view, not just responding to RFPs or renewal triggers.
Complex Sales Cycle Leadership
: Lead sophisticated, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales processes across legal, procurement, technical, and executive buying centres simultaneously. Demonstrate a nuanced understanding of enterprise buying behaviour and apply it to drive net-new deals forward with precision and appropriate urgency.
Deep Customer & IT Architecture Understanding
: Develop a thorough understanding of each prospect's and customer's technology environment — including cloud strategy, security posture, compliance requirements, and AI and ML infrastructure. Map Cloudflare's platform capabilities to these environments through relevant Reference Architectures, driving comprehensive platform adoption in place of point-solution sales.
Virtual Deal Team Leadership
: Set clear direction and lead a virtual team of Customer Engineers, Product Managers, Deal Desk, and Legal to manage and close complex, high-value opportunities. Proactively navigate blockers, maintain deal momentum, and ensure a consistently high-quality customer and prospect experience throughout.
AI-Powered Sales Execution
: Leverage AI tools as a deliberate and consistent part of how you sell — applying them to prospect research, personalised executive outreach, account planning, stakeholder mapping, meeting preparation, pipeline analysis, and follow-up. Demonstrate the same AI-native mindset Cloudflare brings to its products in how you manage your own territory and time.
Digital Transformation & AI Positioning
: Serve as a knowledgeable and credible partner to customers navigating digital and AI-driven transformation. Understand how AI adoption is reshaping enterprise infrastructure, compliance, and competitive dynamics — and position Cloudflare's platform capabilities, including AI Gateway, Workers AI, and Zero Trust for AI workloads, as central to your customers' strategy.
Expert Pipeline & Forecasting
: Deliver highly accurate, insight-driven account-level forecasts to sales leadership. Maintain rigorous pipeline management across long and complex enterprise sales cycles, providing clear and honest visibility into deal status, risks, and required actions at all times.
Advanced Negotiation & Closure
: Lead complex contract negotiations with confidence and expertise, constructing compelling outcome-linked value propositions directly tied to each customer's strategic objectives. Drive commercially strong and sustainable outcomes across new logo and expansion opportunities.
Trusted Advisor & Organisational Contribution
: Share knowledge, field intelligence, and best practices openly across the team. Provide constructive guidance to colleagues, contribute to the wider organisation's understanding of the Swiss enterprise market, and serve as a leader who elevates the work of those around them.
Desirable Skills, Knowledge, and Experience
6+ years of advanced experience selling complex technology solutions in a B2B enterprise model
, with a significant track record of consistently exceeding multi-million dollar new logo and quota targets in a named or strategic account model.
Proven enterprise hunter
— a demonstrated track record of opening and closing large, complex net-new accounts at C-suite level, not just managing and growing existing relationships.
Deep expertise and fluency in Cloud Networking, Security (Zero Trust, SASE, SSE), and Edge Computing technologies, with the ability to engage credibly with senior technical buyers including CISOs, CTOs, and Heads of Infrastructure.
Proven ability to deeply understand complex customer IT architectures and effectively map them to Cloudflare Reference Architectures for successful platform sales.
Demonstrated success navigating complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles across procurement, legal, technical, and executive buying centres simultaneously.
Demonstrated use of AI tools in a sales context — prospect research, executive outreach personalisation, account planning, pipeline management, or meeting preparation. You can speak specifically to how AI has made you faster, sharper, or more effective, and you are actively pushing your use of AI further.
Familiarity with AI transformation trends and their infrastructure and compliance implications, with the ability to position Cloudflare's AI platform capabilities as strategic enablers for enterprise customers.
Exceptional executive communication and presentation skills, with the ability to connect platform capabilities to board-level business outcomes and hold the room with senior technical and business stakeholders.
Advanced negotiation skills with a track record of closing six-figure and multi-million dollar net-new deals.
Proficiency in Salesforce CRM; MEDDPICC methodology strongly preferred.
Experience selling into regulated industries in the Swiss or DACH market — financial services, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, or critical infrastructure — is a significant advantage.
Proficiency in advanced sales and business intelligence platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Tableau, G-Suite, MSFT suite).
Highly self-motivated, entrepreneurial, and resilient, thriving in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with a consistent focus on long-term goals.
Ability to travel as required to engage with key customers and internal teams.

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.

What you will do as a Customer Engineer
The Customer Engineer (CE) is the core driver of our technical go-to-market strategy: a trusted technical advisor and primary architect of the customer journey. You will bridge the gap between technical strategy and business value—guiding enterprise clients from initial pre-sales technical validation through onboarding, deployment architecture, and full lifecycle expansion. Sitting within the GTM organization and reporting to a Customer Engineering Leader, you will not hand off your customers once an initial agreement is reached. Instead, you will operate as a quota-carrying technologist, leveraging AI-augmented workflows to eliminate administrative toil so you can focus on high-value architectural design and driving measurable business outcomes across the entire customer journey.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Validation:
Partner closely with Account Executives to lead technical deep-dive discovery, capture business requirements, and map complex customer infrastructure - DNS, CDN, Zero Trust, Network Security, Workers - to fit-for-purpose Cloudflare architectures and bespoke solutions. Define, scope, success criteria, and technical evaluations plans for Proof of Concepts (PoCs) and Technical Validations. Deliver tailored technical presentations, architectural diagrams, and demonstrations that show how Cloudflare solves specific performance, security, and reliability challenges. Proactively address complex technical objections, security compliance questions, and edge-case architectural requirements during the sales cycle. Take accountability for a suitable solution deployment strategy (Customer, Partner or Cloudflare Professional services) being an integral part of all proposals.
Customer Adoption & Value Realization:
Provide oversight to technical onboarding and implementation, but not execute the implementation, serving as the primary executive and engineering contact for the customer. Design structured migration and onboarding blueprints tailored to the customer’s environment (e.g. DNS migrations, Zero Trust rollouts, WAF tuning guidance), and act as the lead consultant for customer engineering teams, walking them step-by-step through configuration best practices. Partner with Account Executives to own discovery, demos, onboarding, technical health, risk, and expansion strategy. Proactively monitor customer health scores and telemetry to ensure rapid time-to-value, resolve integration bottlenecks, and reduce deployment risk.
Commercial Accountability & Expansion:
Carry a variable quota tied directly to new business acquisition and/or ongoing account growth. Be commercially accountable for ensuring deep platform adoption, retaining revenue, and identifying strategic cross-sell and up-sell opportunities based on product usage data. Lead technical Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to translate platform capabilities into return on investment for C-level executives.
Trusted Advisory:
Act as a trusted technical advisor throughout the entire customer lifecycle, maintaining a continuous, deep relationship with key stakeholders from initial onboarding through maturity, renewal, and expansion. Provide thought partnership on architecture, AI control layers, security posture, and deployment confidence. Identify potential deployment risks or integration bottlenecks early, and provide remediation strategies to de-risk customer outcomes.
AI Orchestration & Workflow Automation:
Leverage AI agents, Large Language Models (LLMs), and internal platforms to automate routine tasks such as RFP/Security Questionnaire responses, sandbox provisioning, basic telemetry monitoring, and internal/external documentation, reclaiming your time for strategic customer advisory.
Education & Enablement:
Partner closely with the Enablement Team to design, build, and govern technical resources. Define, document, and educate both internal teams and customers on deliverables such as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), architectural best practices, and technical guides to continuously raise the technical baseline across the organization.
Minimum Qualifications
Experience: Experience in a customer-facing technical role, such as Solutions Engineering, Customer Engineering, Professional Services, Sales Engineering, Technical Account Management, or as a Forward Deployed Engineer (years of experience required will vary based on Associate, Senior, Staff, or Principal leveling).
Architectural Mindset: Ability to white-board, design, and articulate complex enterprise network and security architectures clearly.
Consultative & Advisory Skills: Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate deeply technical concepts into business outcomes for both hands-on engineers and C-level executives.
Commercial Mindset: Proven track record of operating in a quota-carrying or revenue-aligned environment, with a strong understanding of SaaS metrics, business value translation, and enterprise sales cycles.
Communication: Exceptional presentation and stakeholder management skills, capable of bridging the gap between deep technical implementation details and high-level C-suite business strategy.
Technical Breadth: We do not expect every candidate to be an expert in every domain. Qualified candidates will demonstrate depth in at least four of the technical areas below:
Internet fundamentals: Deep understanding of how the Internet works, including OSI Model layers 1–7, BGP, GRE, TCP/UDP, DNS (authoritative and recursive), HTTP(S), and SSL/TLS.
Security: Expertise in the security of Internet properties, including WAF, Bot Management, Firewalls, Rate Limiting, (M)TLS, Zero Trust, and SASE concepts.
Performance: Expertise in the performance of Internet properties, including speed, latency, caching, video streaming, HTTP/2, and TLS 1.3.
AI Proficiency: Familiarity with prompt engineering, AI-assisted scripting and log analysis, LLM utilization, and workflow automation to augment everyday CE workflows.
Coding/Scripting: Proficiency in Python, JavaScript, Bash, Lua, Go, or similar languages to write custom integration scripts, API connectors, and edge computing functions.
Developer Platform Fluency: Experience designing, building, deploying or scaling applications using RESTful/GraphQL APIs, SDKs, webhooks, and developer tooling in cloud-native environments. Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi), CI/CD pipelines, and observability for developer-led deployments.
Strongly Preferred Qualifications (The "Good-to-Haves")

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.

What you will do as a Customer Engineer
The Customer Engineer (CE) is the core driver of our technical go-to-market strategy: a trusted technical advisor and primary architect of the customer journey. You will bridge the gap between technical strategy and business value—guiding enterprise clients from initial pre-sales technical validation through onboarding, deployment architecture, and full lifecycle expansion. Sitting within the GTM organization and reporting to a Customer Engineering Leader, you will not hand off your customers once an initial agreement is reached. Instead, you will operate as a quota-carrying technologist, leveraging AI-augmented workflows to eliminate administrative toil so you can focus on high-value architectural design and driving measurable business outcomes across the entire customer journey.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Validation:
Partner closely with Account Executives to lead technical deep-dive discovery, capture business requirements, and map complex customer infrastructure - DNS, CDN, Zero Trust, Network Security, Workers - to fit-for-purpose Cloudflare architectures and bespoke solutions. . Define, scope, success criteria, and technical evaluations plans for Proof of Concepts (PoCs) and Technical Validations. Deliver tailored technical presentations, architectural diagrams, and demonstrations that show how Cloudflare solves specific performance, security, and reliability challenges. Proactively address complex technical objections, security compliance questions, and edge-case architectural requirements during the sales cycle. Take accountability for a suitable solution deployment strategy (Customer, Partner or Cloudflare Professional services) being an integral part of all proposals.
Customer Adoption & Value Realization:
Provide oversight to technical onboarding and implementation, but not execute the implementation, serving as the primary executive and engineering contact for the customer. Design structured migration and onboarding blueprints tailored to the customer’s environment (e.g. DNS migrations, Zero Trust rollouts, WAF tuning guidance), and act as the lead consultant for customer engineering teams, walking them step-by-step through configuration best practices. Partner with Account Executives to own discovery, demos, onboarding, technical health, risk, and expansion strategy. Proactively monitor customer health scores and telemetry to ensure rapid time-to-value, resolve integration bottlenecks, and reduce deployment risk.
Commercial Accountability & Expansion:
Carry a variable quota tied directly to new business acquisition and/or ongoing account growth. Be commercially accountable for ensuring deep platform adoption, retaining revenue, and identifying strategic cross-sell and up-sell opportunities based on product usage data. Lead technical Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) to translate platform capabilities into return on investment for C-level executives.
Trusted Advisory:
Act as a trusted technical advisor throughout the entire customer lifecycle, maintaining a continuous, deep relationship with key stakeholders from initial onboarding through maturity, renewal, and expansion. Provide thought partnership on architecture, AI control layers, security posture, and deployment confidence. Identify potential deployment risks or integration bottlenecks early, and provide remediation strategies to de-risk customer outcomes.
AI Orchestration & Workflow Automation:
Leverage AI agents, Large Language Models (LLMs), and internal platforms to automate routine tasks such as RFP/Security Questionnaire responses, sandbox provisioning, basic telemetry monitoring, and internal/external documentation, reclaiming your time for strategic customer advisory.
Education & Enablement:
Partner closely with the Enablement Team to design, build, and govern technical resources. Define, document, and educate both internal teams and customers on deliverables such as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), architectural best practices, and technical guides to continuously raise the technical baseline across the organization.
Minimum Qualifications
Experience: Experience in a customer-facing technical role, such as Solutions Engineering, Customer Engineering, Professional Services, Sales Engineering, Technical Account Management, or as a Forward Deployed Engineer (years of experience required will vary based on Associate, Senior, Staff, or Principal leveling).
Architectural Mindset: Ability to white-board, design, and articulate complex enterprise network and security architectures clearly.
Consultative & Advisory Skills: Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate deeply technical concepts into business outcomes for both hands-on engineers and C-level executives.
Commercial Mindset: Proven track record of operating in a quota-carrying or revenue-aligned environment, with a strong understanding of SaaS metrics, business value translation, and enterprise sales cycles.
Communication: Exceptional presentation and stakeholder management skills, capable of bridging the gap between deep technical implementation details and high-level C-suite business strategy.
Technical Breadth: We do not expect every candidate to be an expert in every domain. Qualified candidates will demonstrate depth in at least four of the technical areas below:
Internet fundamentals: Deep understanding of how the Internet works, including OSI Model layers 1–7, BGP, GRE, TCP/UDP, DNS (authoritative and recursive), HTTP(S), and SSL/TLS.
Security: Expertise in the security of Internet properties, including WAF, Bot Management, Firewalls, Rate Limiting, (M)TLS, Zero Trust, and SASE concepts.
Performance: Expertise in the performance of Internet properties, including speed, latency, caching, video streaming, HTTP/2, and TLS 1.3.
AI Proficiency: Familiarity with prompt engineering, AI-assisted scripting and log analysis, LLM utilization, and workflow automation to augment everyday CE workflows.
Coding/Scripting: Proficiency in Python, JavaScript, Bash, Lua, Go, or similar languages to write custom integration scripts, API connectors, and edge computing functions.
Developer Platform Fluency: Experience designing, building, deploying or scaling applications using RESTful/GraphQL APIs, SDKs, webhooks, and developer tooling in cloud-native environments. Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi), CI/CD pipelines, and observability for developer-led deployments.
Strongly Preferred Qualifications (The "Good-to-Haves")
Technical Enablement: Track record of creating and delivering technical enablement - workshops, code samples, documentation, or developer onboarding - that accelerates customer adoption of complex platforms.
Applied AI Knowledge: Experience with LLM orchestration, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, and model-access controls.
Regulatory Knowledge: Understanding of regulatory requirements such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2.
Hyperscaler / Digital Native Background: Talent coming out of hyperscalers, digital natives, distributed systems environments, or startups is strongly valued for its deeper cloud fluency and advanced architecture depth.
Education
Undergraduate or graduate degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
Travel
This role may require travel up to 20–50% to attend customer meetings, conferences, industry events, and in-person team collaboration.
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
: 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.
