About the role
Vercel is hiring a Strategic Product Partnerships Lead to develop first-of-a-kind partnerships that inflect the company's growth. Done well, these partnerships open distribution for our products, create new pipeline for our field teams, and/or add new capabilities to our platform. This is a highly cross-functional and technical role: you will spend as much time with product and engineering leaders as with commercial ones, both with partners and with Vercelians.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years developing, negotiating, and executing complex commercial agreements, ideally at a platform, infrastructure, cloud, or developer tools company
- A track record of initiating partnerships that had no precedent, with companies significantly larger than your own. You can walk through the terms you won and the ones you gave up
- Experience creating and driving strategy, and getting an organization to fund it
- Comfortable leading cross-functional teams you do not manage, through Product, Engineering, Legal, Finance, and Sales
- Strong agency and comfort with ambiguity. You decide what to work on and can defend the choice
- Speed. You move quickly and decisively, and you keep large deals from stalling
