Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. As the team behind v0, Next.js, and AI SDK, Vercel helps customers like Ramp, Supreme, Pay Pal, and Under Armour build for the AI-native web.

Our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products. That starts with creating a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you're building on our platform, supporting our customers, or shaping our story: You can just ship things.

About the role:

Vercel is building a best-in-class Strategic Account Executive team to drive growth across our most valuable enterprise customers and high-potential prospects. As a Strategic AE, you'll own a portfolio of 2-4 named accounts representing our largest revenue opportunities, working with Fortune 100 companies and leading technology innovators who are transforming how they build and deploy web applications at scale.

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 $10M+ accounts.

If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF or NY) 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.
