Senior Manager of Compensation

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.

We’re hiring a Senior Manager of Compensation to partner directly with our GTM and G&A teams. You’ll work closely with business leaders, People Business Partners, and Recruiting, ensuring our compensation approach attracts top talent, rewards performance, and reflects how we operate. You’ll also partner with the Head of Total Rewards on executive compensation. This is a hands-on role. You won’t just advise, you’ll help drive decisions.

• Work closely with leaders across GTM and G&A to guide compensation decisions and tradeoffs
• Turn compensation data into clear insights that drive decisions, not just reports
• Use multiple data sources to build and maintain competitive salary bands, bonus targets, and equity ranges
• Help managers and employees understand how compensation works - clearly and simply
• Partner on executive compensation strategy, including benchmarking and equity programs

• You approach compensation like a product; something to design, build, and improve
• You don’t just follow market data, you translate it into something that fits the company
• You’re comfortable questioning standard approaches when they don’t make sense
• You can explain compensation in plain language because it’s too important to be confusing
• You understand executive compensation across private and public company contexts
