About the Department
At Cloudflare, our mission is to build a better Internet. To do that, our Account Executives, Business Development Representatives, Solutions Engineers, and Customer Success teams operate as a single unit. We help customers adopt a security and performance posture that transforms their digital presence.

Location: Sweden (remote)
The Role: Commercial Account Executive
Having mastered the fundamentals of the SDR/BDR cycle and ideally gained experience in Field Sales, you are ready to take ownership of a high-growth territory. As an Account Executive for the Nordics egion, you will drive new business by identifying and qualifying Enterprise-level opportunities.
This role is designed for a sales professional who is technically curious and commercially sharp. You will be expected to engage with stakeholders across the organization - from Network Operations and Infrastructure teams to C-suite executives - to demonstrate how Cloudflare solves modern connectivity and security hurdles.
