About this role
About Vercel:
Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company, freeing people and agents to ship what's next. For more than a decade we've helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.
Now we're scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.
About the Role:
This is a high-impact, net-new logo role on a fast-growing, technical sales team. You’ll sell to developers and engineering leaders at modern, digital-native companies, connecting Vercel’s front-end cloud and developer experience to measurable business outcomes (speed, conversion, productivity, reliability).
You’ll run full-cycle deals in close partnership with Solutions Architects, Marketing, and Customer Success, and you’ll help shape how Vercel goes to market as we continue to expand our Commercial segment. We’re building a team with a strong preference to grow talent internally. If you want a path to larger scopes and leadership over time, this is a great place to do it.
You’ll be at the leading edge of modern web and AI, working with customers who build and ship fast. You’ll collaborate closely with Solutions Architects, Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to help teams adopt Vercel and expand their impact as they scale.
What You Will Do:
- Own a net-new revenue number by building and progressing pipeline from first meeting through close
- Build pipeline in partnership with your BDR and generate your own outbound pipeline through prospecting, multi-thread
