Strategic Cloud Partnerships Lead

<div class="content-intro"><h2>About Vercel:</h2> <p><span data-sheets-root="1">Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what’s next.</span></p> <p><span data-sheets-root="1">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.</span></p> <p><span data-sheets-root="1">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.</span></p> <p><span data-sheets-root="1">We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like <strong>OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide</strong>. Whether you’re building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you’ll help define what comes next.</span></p></div><h2>About the Role:</h2> <p>Vercel is hiring a Strategic Cloud Partnerships Manager to own and grow our relationships with the cloud and infrastructure companies that underpin our platform and help us reach enterprise customers.</p> <p>This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure, product, and go-to-market. You will work with Vercel’s Product and Engineering teams to understand how we use our partners’ infrastructure today, identify where deeper technical collaboration could improve our platform or economics, and turn those opportunities into executable partnership strategies. At the same time, you will build joint go-to-market motions that create pipeline, accelerate enterprise deals, and make Vercel more strategic to our partners’ field organizations.</p> <p>You will report to the Head of Strategic Partnerships and own a named set of cloud partners end to end. You will work across those partners’ product, engineering, sales, marketplace, and executive teams, connecting technical opportunities with commercial outcomes.</p> <p>This is not a role for someone who only manages relationships or coordinates partner programs. You will need the technical depth to understand how Vercel is leveraging—or could leverage—a partner’s compute, networking, storage, security, data, and AI infrastructure. You will also need the commercial judgment and executive presence to build a joint business case, mobilize two organizations, and hold your own in conversations with sophisticated enterprise customers.</p> <p>We are looking for someone with strong ownership who operates at a senior level, moves comfortably between technical and commercial discussions, and does their best work with limited direction.</p> &l
