About the role

The Technical Enablement Manager (TEM) is responsible for driving the successful adoption and utilization of the company’s products or solutions by customers and partners. This role focuses on ensuring that clients are equipped with the necessary technical knowledge and resources to integrate and use the company’s solutions effectively. The TEM works closely with customers, internal teams (such as product, engineering, and customer success), and external partners to identify and resolve technical challenges during the onboarding process. By providing hands‑on support, training, and guidance, the TEM ensures seamless technical integration and accelerates the time to value for customers. Additionally, the TEM plays a crucial role in identifying potential barriers to adoption, addressing technical issues, and fostering long‑term customer success. Their work directly contributes to increasing customer satisfaction, retention, and the overall success of the company’s solutions in the market.

Responsibilities :

(1) Strategic Technical Leadership

  • Define and drive the China‑focused technical enablement strategy, ensuring alignment with regional business objectives and global product roadmaps.
  • Serve as the highest‑level escalation point for complex technical challenges related to network integration, compliance, and performance optimization in China.

(2) Advanced Solution Architecture

  • Lead the design of customized deployment frameworks for enterprise clients, addressing unique requirements of China’s network ecosystem (e.g., hybrid cloud, cross‑border connectivity, ICP compliance).
  • Advise C‑level stakeholders on long‑term technical adoption roadmaps, balancing innovation with regulatory constraints.
  • (3) Ecosystem & Partner Enablement

  • Establish deep technical partnerships with key China‑based cloud providers (Alibaba, Tencent, JD Cloud), ISPs, and regulatory bodies.
  • Develop and deliver executive‑level workshops and certification programs for partners and enterprise clients.
  • (4) Thought Leadership & Advocacy

  • Influence product strategy by synthesizing China‑specific market needs into global engineering priorities.
  • Examples of desirable skills, knowledge and experience :

    (1) Mandatory Qualifications

  • 12+ years in technical leadership roles (e.g., Principal Solutions Architect, Senior TAM, or Consulting Engineer) with a focus on China’s network / cloud infrastructure.
  • Proven track record of enabling large‑scale deployments (e.g., Fortune 500 enterprises, hyperscalers, or regulated industries in China).
  • Expertise in advanced networking (SASE, ZTNA, edge computing, traffic acceleration across GFW); China’s regulatory environment (CSL, PIPL, cross‑border data transfer laws); local cloud ecosystems.
  • (2) Leadership & Soft Skills

  • Bilingual executive presence (Mandarin & English) highly proficient at negotiating with both technical teams and C‑suite.
  • Mentorship ability to lead junior enablement teams and foster a culture of technical excellence.
  • Diplomatic problem‑solving to navigate technical‑political challenges (e.g., vendor lock‑in, data localization).
  • (3) Preferred Background

  • Former roles at Global CDN / SASE providers (e.g., Akamai, Palo Alto, AWS, Microsoft) with China‑market responsibilities.
  • Top‑tier cloud / ISP players (e.g., Alibaba / Microsoft / AWS Cloud, China Telecom, China Mobile).
  • Experience with sovereign cloud initiatives or government‑facing projects in China.
  • (4) Differentiators for Principal Level

  • Architect, not just advisor : Designs reusable frameworks (e.g., “China Network Readiness Playbook”).
  • Trusted boardroom ally : Translates technical constraints into business risks / opportunities.

    Compensation may be adjusted depending on work location.

  • For Colorado, Illinois, Maryland and Minnesota based hires : Estimated annual salary of $186,000 - $228,000.

    We’re not just a highly ambitious, large‑scale technology company. We are a company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.

    Project Galileo : Since 2014, we’ve equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work. Technology already used by Cloudflare’s enterprise customers—at no cost.

    Athenian Project : In 2017, we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project, we’ve provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.

    1.1.1.1 : We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy‑centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use— it is the first consumer‑focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here’s the deal—we don’t store client IP addresses ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
