Director, Commercial Sales, EMEA

About Vercel:

Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what’s next.

For more than a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.

Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents.

We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, Pay Pal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide
. Whether you’re building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you’ll help define what comes next.

Vercel is hiring a Head of Commercial sales, EMEA (excl. DACH) to lead and scale our Commercial sales team across EMEA (excl. DACH). This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-velocity environment and knows how to build the systems, culture, and talent needed to consistently hit and exceed revenue targets in the mid-market and growth segment.

Commercial is one of Vercel's most important growth levers in EMEA - it's where we convert developer love and self-service momentum into contracted, expanding revenue with scaling tech companies and digital-native businesses. This leader will own that motion end-to-end: hiring and developing a team of Commercial AEs, driving pipeline efficiency, and ensuring Vercel is well-positioned to win in a competitive and fast-moving market.

You’ll be based in London and work closely with Marketing, SDR leadership, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success to build a repeatable, scalable commercial sales engine across the region.

If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in‑office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. If you're located beyond that distance, the role is fully remote. For location‑specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.
