    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:

    Vercel is building a best-in-class Enterprise Account Executive team to drive growth across our most valuable enterprise customers and high-potential prospects. As a Majors AE, you'll own a portfolio of 30-40 named accounts representing our largest revenue opportunities, working with Fortune 500 companies and leading technology innovators who are transforming how they build and deploy web applications at scale.

    This is not a traditional enterprise sales role. You'll operate as a trusted business advisor to C-suite executives, orchestrating complex, multi-quarter deal cycles that span Vercel's full product suite. You'll build long-term strategic relationships with lighthouse customers, quarterback 7-8 figure deals, and collaborate closely with Product on first-of-kind enterprise offerings to grow the world's most sophisticated technical organizations into large accounts.

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