Intelligence Production Lead

At Cloudflare, we are on a mission to help build a better

Internet. Today the company runs one of the world’s largest networks that powers millions of websites and other Internet

properties for customers ranging from individual bloggers to SMBs to Fortune 500 companies. Cloudflare protects and accelerates

any Internet application online without adding hardware, installing software, or changing a line of code. Internet properties

powered by Cloudflare all have web traffic routed through its intelligent global network, which gets smarter with every request.

As a result, they see significant improvement in performance and a decrease in spam and other attacks. Cloudflare was named to

Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Company Cultures list and ranked among the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast

Company.

At Cloudflare, we’re not looking for people who wait for a polished roadmap; we’re looking for the builders

who see the cracks in the Internet that everyone else has simply learned to live with. We value candidates who have the instinct

to spot a "normalized" problem and the AI-native curiosity to create a solution using the latest tools. Our culture is built on

iteration, leveraging AI to ship faster today to make it better tomorrow, while ensuring that every improvement, no matter how

small, is shared across the team to lift everyone up. If you’re the type of person who values curiosity over bureaucracy, and that

AI is a partner in solving tough problems to keep the Internet moving forward, you’ll fit right in.

Cloudforce One

is Cloudflare’s threat operations and research team, responsible for identifying and disrupting cyber threats ranging from

sophisticated cybercriminal activity to nation-state sponsored advanced persistent threats (APTs). Cloudforce One works in close

partnership with external organizations and internal Cloudflare teams, continuously developing operational tradecraft and

expanding ever-growing sources of threat intelligence to enable expedited threat hunting and remediation. Members of Cloudforce

One are at the helm of leveraging an incredibly vast and varied set of data points that only one of the world’s largest global

networks can provide. The team is able to analyze these unique data points, at massive scale and efficiency, synthesizing findings

into actionable threat intelligence to better protect our customers.

Cloudflare is

a global system on a mission to make the internet better, safer, and more powerful every day. To help fulfill this mission, we are

seeking a seasoned Intelligence Production Lead to own the end-to-end intelligence production pipeline within our Cloudforce One

Organization. As the Intelligence Production Lead, you will do everything a threat intelligence technical writer does —

translating complex threat research into clear, concise, and actionable content — and you will also own the process, quality bar,

and delivery cadence for the team's finished intelligence. You will function as the managing editor and production manager for our

threat intelligence output, setting the publishing calendar, running review and fact-check cycles, enforcing source-handling and

classification standards, and serving as the final quality gate before customer-facing publication. You will collaborate closely

with threat researchers, intelligence analysts, security teams, and external partners to prioritize what ships when, and you will

mentor writers and analysts to raise the overall standard of the team's tradecraft and written product. This position requires an

independent, results-oriented leader with a passion for cybersecurity and threat intelligence analysis, and the editorial judgment

to represent adversary tradecraft with precision.

Key responsibilities include:​

• Owning the end-to-end

intelligence production pipeline — from research intake through drafting, editing, review, and publication — for intelligence

reports, blog posts, briefing content, and technical documentation related to cyber threats and security research

• Setting

and managing the production schedule and release calendar, coordinating across researchers and analysts to prioritize which

intelligence products ship and when

• Serving as the final quality gate before customer-facing publication, running

fact-check, technical-accuracy, and editorial review cycles and adjudicating changes to content

• Writing, editing, and

publishing high-quality intelligence content, and translating raw researcher notes and technical analysis into accessible,

well-structured, impactful narratives

• Developing, maintaining, and enforcing style guides, templates, classification

markings, and source-handling and best-practice standards for threat intelligence briefings and publications

• Reviewing

and refining threat research content to ensure clarity, consistency, technical precision, and adherence to Cloudflare's editorial

standards

• Mentoring and coaching technical writers and analysts on writing craft, intelligence tradecraft, and reporting

standards

• Collaborating with analysts and external partners to contextualize intelligence findings and communicate them

effectively to customers and the public

• Partnering with marketing, design, PR, and communications teams to amplify

intelligence content, manage workloads and deadlines, and develop a cohesive security narrative

technical defenders to executives

• Experience collaborating with cybersecurity researchers and analysts, with a strong

understanding of intrusion analysis, incident response, malware, adversary TTPs, and network defense strategies
