Hybrid Full-time Not specified Operations

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 likeOpenAI, 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.

About the Role:

Own the technical proof system for enterprise sales. Build POC playbooks, reference architectures, and competitive frameworks. Drive consistent technical wins. Measure impact on deal velocity, win rate, and proof quality.

Why This Role Exists:

• Product surface growth:New launches require repeatable proof plans, architectures, and positioning
• More technical buyers:CTOs and engineers evaluate Vercel against hyperscalers and incumbents with 10-100x the technical sales support systems as Vercel.
• POCs drive deals:Poorly scoped POCs slow or lose deals. Standardized proof increases win rate and speed

If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, Austin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.
