The opportunity

We are seeking a commercially sharp and technically curious Digital Natives Account Executive to join our Swiss Sales Team, focused on the German-speaking market. In this high-energy, hunter role, your primary mission is new logo acquisition — finding, engaging, and closing…

What you'll do

  • New Logo Acquisition: Drive the identification, pursuit, and closure of net-new digital-native accounts as the primary focus of this role. Build pipeline through outbound prospecting, community engagement, VC and accelerator networks, partner channels, and product-led adoption signals. Consistently bring new customers onto the Cloudflare platform and exceed new logo targets each quarter.

  • Outbound & Ecosystem-Led Pipeline Generation: Take full ownership of pipeline creation — through direct outreach, active participation in the startup and tech ecosystem, and engagement with founder and developer communities across DACH. Identify buying signals early and move quickly to engage the right stakeholders at the right moment.

  • Developer & Technical Buyer Engagement: Build credible, trusted relationships with technically sophisticated buyers — CTOs, VPs of Engineering, platform leads, and technical founders. Engage with genuine fluency on infrastructure, APIs, developer experience, cloud architecture, and security — translating Cloudflare's capabilities into outcomes that matter to people who build things.

  • Product-Led Growth Conversion: Identify accounts where individual or team-level usage of Cloudflare's platform signals a commercial opportunity. Convert that adoption into formalised new logo wins by engaging the right stakeholders with the right narrative at the right time, before a competitor does.

  • AI Platform Positioning: Position Cloudflare's AI infrastructure capabilities — AI Gateway, Workers AI, Vectorize, and Zero Trust for AI workloads — to prospects building AI-powered products and services. Understand the real challenges your customers face around securing AI APIs, managing inference at scale, and controlling AI infrastructure costs, and articulate how Cloudflare addresses them in a way that resonates with technical buyers.

  • AI-Powered Sales Execution: Leverage AI tools as a deliberate and consistent part of how you prospect and sell — applying them to target account research, personalised outreach at scale, technical meeting preparation, pipeline management, and follow-up drafting. Your buyers are often building AI products; your workflow should reflect the same standard. Demonstrated AI fluency is a genuine expectation of this role, and you will be asked to speak specifically to how you use AI to improve your performance.

What they're looking for

  • Full-Cycle Sales Management: Run efficient, full-cycle sales processes across a diverse prospect portfolio with varying deal sizes and cycle lengths. Qualify rigorously, engage the right stakeholders, apply appropriate urgency, and close new logo deals with confidence — whether the cycle takes two weeks or six months.
  • Compelling Value Creation: Articulate clear, outcome-linked value propositions for Cloudflare's platform, tailored to the specific context and priorities of each prospect. Lead with the "why," communicating the full picture to both technical and commercial stakeholders at every stage of the sales cycle.
  • Post-Close Positioning: Ensure newly closed customers are set up for success on the Cloudflare platform and positioned for long-term growth. Identify early expansion signals and hand off cleanly — then focus on the next new logo.
  • Pipeline Management & Forecasting: Maintain a healthy, accurate new logo pipeline and deliver reliable, insight-driven forecast calls to sales leadership. Use AI-powered pipeline intelligence tools to keep your view of the business current, honest, and actionable.
