Senior Sales Director – Enterprise, Benelux
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.

About the Role
Senior Sales Director – Enterprise, Benelux
Drive Growth. Build Elite Teams. Lead with Operational Rigor.
This isn’t just a quota-carrying leadership role—it’s a rare opportunity to architect a premier enterprise sales engine for Cloudflare in the Benelux region. Reporting directly to the Area VP, you’ll lead both our Named and Major Accounts teams in the Netherlands, driving strategy, hiring top talent, and scaling revenue while preserving the high-performance culture we’re known for.
This role is for builders and strategic sparring partners, not maintainers. We are looking for an entrepreneurial leader who thrives in rapidly changing, hyper-growth environments and brings intense operational rigor to the team. You are a modern leader—someone who understands how to leverage AI tools to analyze data for coaching, accelerate the sales process, and help reps tailor highly contextual business proposals to every customer's unique needs. You will lead from the front, designing GTM strategies, running tight qualification frameworks, and helping your team see new perspectives to unlock complex enterprise deals.
Responsibilities
What You’ll Own
- Bring Operational Rigor & Scale – Instill execution excellence across the team by embedding frameworks like MEDDPICC deeply into the sales cycle, ensuring accurate forecasting, and driving high-velocity pipeline generation.
- Be the Ultimate Deal Sparring Partner – Act as a strategic sounding board for your team. Regularly review account plans, challenge assumptions, help reps see blind spots, and actively coach them on navigating complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals.
- Drive the Programmable Enterprise Playbook – Empower your team to disrupt rigid, checklist-driven RFP cycles by changing the narrative. You will coach reps to position Cloudflare not just as a standard vendor, but as an agile, programmable platform. While we deliver market-leading security and performance out of the box, our true differentiation is programmability. Help your team show Benelux CIOs and CTOs that instead of waiting months in a legacy vendor's
