About the LPT Team

Because of the scope, complexity, and diversity of the company’s work, we need a world-class support team to help the company avoid distractions, and guide company leadership around obstacles.  Our Legal Policy, and Trust and Safety teams are made up of very accomplished lawyers and staff who comprise a flexible, talented, and very cohesive team.

What you'll do

Cloudflare is looking for a bright, proactive, and detail-oriented Senior Administrative Assistant who can support three VPs: our VP, Chief Privacy Officer; our VP of Risk, Litigation, and Employment; and our VP of Trust & Safety. The ideal candidate must be comfortable with a significant volume of tasks and prioritization in a fast-paced environment with close attention to detail, accuracy, and timeliness. The position requires the ability to apply a good deal of common sense and a growing understanding of work habits and priorities to keep everything working smoothly. The candidate will have to work with team members at all levels, sometimes under pressure. A high level of integrity and discretion in handling confidential information and professionalism in dealing with executives both inside and outside the company is important, as is a positive attitude and sense of humor.

The responsibilities of the Executive Assistant will be to provide administrative and substantive support, including: 

• Proactively own and flawlessly execute on very active, fluid calendars, prioritizing with purpose, deflecting with tact, and understanding both the short and long-term impacts of each confirmed, declined, and rescheduled meeting. Scheduling needs range from external meetings with outside counsel, industry meetings, internal cross-functional meetings, interviews with candidates, 1:1s with direct reports, and regular team meetings with a dozen or more attendees, as well as balancing work calendars with personal commitments.
• Coordinate participation in external and company events. Help book domestic and international travel, ensure timely submission of expense reports. 
• Track and draft communications with tact, substance, and accuracy. Vet and provide confidential requested information to appropriate stakeholders.
• Help organize internal and well as external events and other collaborative opportunities for the three VPs, including event planning, assistance with scheduling, catering, working with the internal cross-functional teams (e.g., the Cloudflare Places and IT teams, and other Legal team EAs) to ensure a smooth and seamless experience.
• Coordinate on ad hoc projects to support the VPs as requested.
• Develop and foster relationships across the company, from the Admins of each team to senior members of the various orgs to become a helpful bridge and representative of the LPT Team. Problem solve where pain points can be eliminated and efficiencies can be attained.

Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience

• The ideal candidate is someone who wants an opportunity for growth and is excited to jump into a close working relationship with leaders at one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the world.
