About the department

The Cloudflare BDR program has two goals—generate qualified pipeline and develop business development representatives’ careers. We care deeply about both goals. We have worked purposefully over the last 3 years to increase the percentage of our new business revenue that comes from the Inbound & Outbound BDR teams.  The BDR team is partnered closely with our internal customers, Account Executives, to generate high quality meetings and pipeline. During that time we have also helped many BDRs grow into Account Executive and Customer Success roles. As we scale, we have reached a threshold to develop and execute a dedicated Inbound team based out of Kuala Lumpur. Inbound BDR team will focus on quality pipeline development. BDRs will also be encouraged to find homes in other roles across the Sales Engineering, Sales Operations, Marketing, and Partner teams. While accomplishing these goals we strive to be a team that always “puts our Cloudflare hat on” and focuses on the best interests of the company.
