Legal Compliance Intern (Summer 2026)

About Cloudflare's Legal Compliance Teams
Our Legal Compliance team is the architect of integrity within the organization. We don't just monitor rules; we build the frameworks that allow our business to grow boldly and ethically in a complex global landscape.
We serve as a cross-functional hub, sitting at the intersection of law, technology, and corporate strategy. Our mission is to safeguard the company's reputation by ensuring that every decision-from a local charitable donation to a global third-party partnership-aligns with our core values and international regulatory standards.
About the Internship Program
As a Legal Compliance intern on the Legal Compliance Team, you will dive deep into the core pillars of corporate integrity:

• Conflict of Interest (COI) Management: Assist in reviewing disclosures and learning how to identify, mitigate, and document potential conflicts within a corporate structure.
• Gifts, Donations & Hospitality: Support the review process for corporate giving and hospitality requests to ensure alignment with anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) laws.
• Third-Party Due Diligence: Participate in the "Know Your Partner" process, helping to vet third-party vendors and partners to ensure they meet our ethical standards.
• Data Strategy & Inflow Organization: Help manage the "legal front door" by organizing incoming requests and ensuring data integrity across our compliance databases.

The Digital Innovation Project
A cornerstone of this role is your involvement in the implementation of our company-wide Legal Platform. This isn't just administrative support-you will be an essential part of the project team. Your responsibilities will include:

• Alpha & Beta Testing: Serving as a primary tester to identify bugs, suggest UX improvements, and ensure the tool meets legal requirements.
• The "Face" of the Tool: Acting as the first point of contact for employees across the company, answering questions, and providing guidance on how to navigate the new platform.
• Digitalization Choices: You will choose from several initiatives to support our digitalization agenda, such as designing data dashboards, automating workflows, or optimizing how we collect and present compliance data.
