Director, Major Sales

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, PayPal, 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:

Vercel's sales team is filled with hardworking, deeply technical people spanning a range of business functions to help create a new category. We are a fast-growing organization with a strong preference to grow team members and promote from within.

• Heavy enterprise selling background, closing 6-7 figure deals

• Able to drive process through legal, procurement, and security

Bonus If You:

• Have an enterprise pedigree from a high-growth, best-in-class SaaS organization

The NYC range for this role is $380,000-$430,000 OTE. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location. Compensation outside of NYC may be adjusted based on employee location.
