About the Role

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 is hiring a Head of Developer Community to evolve and scale our developer ecosystem strategy within the Marketing organization.

You will report to the Head of Marketing Programs & Vercel Media and lead the team that is responsible for owning and expanding Vercel’s existing Developer-Facing programs, leading ecosystem partnerships, and defining our global conference and sponsorship strategy across the developer ecosystem.

This is a strategic, externally facing role focused on strengthening Vercel’s influence across the modern web ecosystem. You'll be in a player/coach role, leading a small team while operating directly to deepen relationships with open source maintainers and ecosystem leaders, ensure our sponsorships and conference presence are high-impact, and position Vercel at the center of key developer conversations.

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