Description
Cloudinary is the Image and Video API platform trusted by millions of developers and over 10,000 companies worldwide. Our powerful tools fuel websites to be faster, richer in user engagement, and breakthrough creativity. With a growing suite of products that support everything from developer efficiency to brand storytelling, Cloudinary is becoming the visual layer of the web.
Cloudinary has a globally distributed team across North America, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific, united by a shared commitment to building smart, scalable technology and a culture rooted in humility, curiosity, and collaboration. At Cloudinary, we celebrate Life & Work. We believe in healthy growth, working with purpose, and creating meaningful value. If you’re looking for a place where your voice matters and your work truly makes an impact, this may be the opportunity for you.
Cloudinary’s Strategy & Operations team exists to turn strategy into action ensuring the company executes with focus, speed and real impact. As we enter the next stage of Cloudinary’s growth, we’re hiring a Director of Operations who can help accelerate the work that truly matters.
In this role, you’ll support some of the company’s highest‑impact priorities from internal AI initiatives to helping teams shape, build and launch new products. You’ll gain broad exposure to senior leaders, play a central role in how decisions turn into outcomes, and make a visible impact across multiple functions.
This is an individual contributor role within a small, high‑trust team. You won’t directly own most initiatives instead, you’ll strengthen execution by clarifying goals, enabling project owners, unblocking progress and providing hands‑on support when needed. It’s ideal for someone who thrives in complex environments, builds trust quickly, and is motivated by driving tangible, business‑critical results.
