Post-Award Governance Specialist

About the Position

Cloudflare is seeking a Post-Award Governance Specialist to manage government contracts, ensuring compliance and timely reporting. This is a hybrid role available in Austin, TX or Washington, DC.

About Us

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.

Responsibilities

• Credential and Portal Stewardship: Maintain active registrations in sovereign infrastructure systems globally (including SAM.gov, ORBIT, UK G-Cloud, EU TED, and regional procurement portals), utilizing automated data layers to ensure Cloudflare retains continuous bidding and payment eligibility across all public sector jurisdictions.
• Data Parity Auditing: Direct automated audit workflows over foundational data layers to reconcile internal invoicing, tax records (EIN, legal business name), and active federal portal profiles-preventing payment freezes or rejections by oversight programs such as the U.S. Treasury "Do Not Pay" Working System.
• Contract Deliverable Management (CDRLs): Extract requirements from executed contracts, build automated reporting schedules, and oversee the submission of mandatory recurring deliverables (including Contract Activity Reports and Contractor Profile Reports) to client agencies on time.
• Customer Performance Awareness: Partner with Customer Support and leverage the Customer Escalation AI Reviewer to monitor contract obligations, proactively triaging technical issues that could affect past-performance ratings or future business.
• Contract Performance Reporting: Oversee customer contract performance evaluation cycles (such as CPARS), ensuring accurate, timely submissions that protect Cloudflare's past-performance record.
• Compliance Certification Coordination: Coordinate ongoing certifications for government contract compliance with Supply Chain, HR, and internal teams to meet employment regulations, responsibility determinations, and global eligibility criteria.
• RFx and Vendor Knowledge Systems: Maintain and optimize the central repository for RFx responses by using automated knowledge management workflows, updating content in real time, and coordinating with cross-functional subject matter experts.

Requirements

• Direct experience managing post-award tasks for U.S. government contracts, including CDRL tracking, invoice reconciliation, and contractor reporting within automated frameworks.
• Prior experience as a U.S. federal contracting officer (or comparable federal acquisition role) strongly preferred.
• Hands-on experience with U.S. federal procurement and vendor-management systems (SAM.gov, DSBS, ORBIT), combined with a working knowledge of international government contracting frameworks, global portals, and regional compliance standards.
• Working knowledge of FAR provisions related to subcontracting plans, invoicing, and contract reporting.
• Familiarity with government contracting systems outside the United States.
• Comfort collaborating across legal, finance, support, and security teams to manage automated workflows in a fast-moving environment.
• Organizational discipline with experience overseeing automated reporting pipelines and managing multiple recurring deadlines.

We Offer

• Compensation: Estimated annual salary of $132,000 - $182,000 (depending on work location).
• Equity: This role is eligible to participate in Cloudflare’s equity plan.
• Benefits: Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision insurance, flexible spending accounts, commuter spending accounts, fertility & family forming benefits, on-demand mental health support, global travel medical insurance, short and long-term disability insurance, life & accident insurance, 401(k) retirement savings plan, employee stock participation plan, and flexible paid time off.
