Role Summary

As a Strategic M&A Integration Lead, you will manage overall integration efforts, ensuring all workstreams remain aligned with business decisions. You will act as a primary liaison between business owners and cross-functional teams, translating high-level strategy into operational reality for customers and vendors. Beyond managing the current deal, you will partner with functional leaders to codify best practices into a repeatable M&A playbook. We are seeking a proactive, intellectually curious leader who can drive accountability across the organization while maintaining a clear view of how individual tasks connect to the broader strategic "forest”.

Role Responsibilities

Drive Program Accountability: You will lead the overall integration program, establishing a cadence for status updates, tracking milestones, and ensuring all cross-functional leads are held accountable for their deliverables.
Develop M&A Playbooks: You will partner with functional teams (GTM, Finance, People, etc.) to capture lessons learned and build a repeatable M&A integration playbook, ensuring the organization matures with every deal.
Translate Strategy into Plans: You will convert complex business decisions into actionable, cross-functional support plans that protect customer and vendor stability throughout the integration process.
Orchestrate Cross-Functional Alignment: You will facilitate regular synchronization meetings across cross-functional teams to identify dependencies and ensure no department operates in a vacuum.
Synthesize Executive Reporting: You are responsible for distilling project updates from various workstreams into clear, strategic insights for C-suite stakeholders, highlighting risks and required decisions.

Role Requirements (Must-Have Skills)

Must-Have Skills

You must have 5+ years of experience in M&A Integration, Strategic Operations, or Management Consulting.
You possess a demonstrated ability to translate abstract strategy into detailed, cross-functional project plans that have successfully guided teams through change.
You have a proven track record of driving alignment between teams to solve typical M&A friction points.
You must exhibit high business acumen and critical thinking skills, specifically the ability to connect disparate "dots" across an organization.
You are required to have expert-level soft skills and the ability to influence without formal authority to gain cross-functional buy-in.
You must be curious and willing to "dig in" further to understand root causes rather than just managing a high-level status report.

Nice-to-Have Skills

Experience leading Quote to Cash (Q2C) or Procure to Pay (P2P) initiatives, especially during organizational transitions.
A background in Computer Science or a technical field to speak the same language as business stakeholders.

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.
