Director, Commercial Sales, EMEA

About Vercel:

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, PayPal, 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 hiring a Head of Commercial sales, EMEA (excl. DACH) to lead and scale our Commercial sales team across EMEA (excl. DACH). This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-velocity environment and knows how to build the systems, culture, and talent needed to consistently hit and exceed revenue targets in the mid-market and growth segment. Commercial is one of Vercel's most important growth levers in EMEA - it's where we convert developer love and self-service momentum into contracted, expanding revenue with scaling tech companies and digital-native businesses. This leader will own that motion end-to-end: hiring and developing a team of Commercial AEs, driving pipeline efficiency, and ensuring Vercel is well-positioned to win in a competitive and fast-moving market. You'll be based in London and work closely with Marketing, SDR leadership, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success to build a repeatable, scalable commercial sales engine across the region. If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), 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.

What You Will Do:

• Own the EMEA Commercial sales number - pipeline, forecasting, and revenue attainment across the mid-market and growth segment
• Hire, onboard, and develop a team of Commercial AEs, building a culture of high activity, sharp qualification, and consistent execution
• Drive a high-velocity sales motion with shorter cycles, strong outbound discipline, and efficient deal management
• Coach AEs on territory planning, prospecting strategies, and how to sell to technical and business stakeholders at scaling companies
• Partner with Marketing and SDR leadership to build and convert pipeline across EMEA - inbound and outbound
• Develop and iterate on Commercial-specific messaging and positioning that resonates with engineering leaders and CTOs at growth-stage companies
• Accurately forecast and report on team activity and revenue to EMEA sales leadership
• Build scalable processes, playbooks, and onboarding frameworks that let the team ramp quickly and perform consistently
• Collaborate cross-functionally with CS, Product, and Legal to ensure smooth handoffs and strong retention in the commercial segment
• Identify expansion opportunities within the existing commercial customer base and coach AEs to grow accounts over time
• Represent Vercel at EMEA industry events, developer conferences, and customer-facing engagements
