Cloudflare is seeking a Partner Solutions Architect (PSA) to serve as a strategic technical leader for their top-tier Global and GEO Partners, specifically Service Providers (SPs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). In this role, you will act as the principal architect, driving the technical relationship from pre-sales through post-sales. Your focus will be on collaborating at executive and enterprise architect levels to develop joint global Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies and design repeatable reference architectures. This position heavily emphasizes scaling Cloudflare One (SASE/SSE) and AI Infrastructure (Workers AI, AI Gateway) globally, embedding Cloudflare into partner practices, and unlocking significant Partner-Influenced Opportunity (PIO).
Responsibilities
- Own the overarching technical relationship with top-tier Global/GEO partners to align on building and launching repeatable, global Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies.
- Accelerate partner's global technical capabilities, enabling their enterprise architects to lead discovery and scale secure, resilient, and repeatable architectures leveraging the Cloudflare Platform with a strong focus on AI and Cloudflare One (CF1).
- Own and drive the end-to-end Technical Account Plan (TAP) for assigned top-tier strategic Global GSIs and SPs.
- Act as the principal architect mapping global partner business initiatives to technical execution milestones, ensuring continuous alignment on large-scale CF1 and AI adoption targets.
- Identify, enable, and cultivate executive-level technical advocates, practice leads, and "Champions" within the global partner organization to scale Cloudflare expertise independently.
- Generate large-scale Partner-Influenced Opportunities (PIO) and empower partners to deliver high-value professional services around Zero Trust and AI application security.
- Collaborate with sales teams to proactively source, qualify, and expand PIO through strategic architectural alignment.
- Focus on creating Repeatable Reference Architectures that allow partners to migrate legacy enterprise network architectures to CF1 and integrate secure AI solutions at scale.
- Enable global partners' technical validation, proof-of-concept (PoC), demo, pipeline generation, and pipeline acceleration capabilities.
- Identify joint pursuit accounts, facilitate strategic technical account planning, and deliver cutting-edge solution architecture sessions for top-tier Named Partners and high-value, complex global deals.
- Own the Accelerated Services Delivery (ASD) partner journey at the GEO/Global level to ensure top-tier partners possess the advanced, scalable capabilities required to deploy Cloudflare solutions.
