The Sales Organization consists of Customer Success Managers, Account Executives, Business Development Representatives, Solution Engineers, Renewal Account Managers and Sales Operation who all work together to help our customers adopt Cloudflare and create reliable and secure Internet experiences for all.
Business Development Representatives contribute to Cloudflare's revenue generation engine by delivering pipeline at scale to the Sales counterparts.

Renewal AMs hold responsibility for driving business growth and expanding the customer base of Cloudflare by identifying and nurturing potential opportunities through proactive outreach and effective lead qualification.
