Business Development Representative , Startups

Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company, freeing people and agents to ship what's next. For more than a decade we've helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.

Now we're scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.

Vercel is seeking a Business Development Representative to help bring the next wave of innovative companies onto the Vercel platform. This role is ideal for individuals who are curious about web technologies, energized by working closely with startup founders and early-stage teams, and eager to launch their career in technical sales at one of the world’s leading developer tools companies.

You’ll focus on generating meetings with startup teams across EMEA, with particular emphasis on UK & Ireland and the DACH region, helping introduce Vercel to some of the most innovative developer-first companies in the market.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll learn directly from world-class sales and product leaders, gain exposure to the SaaS sales cycle, and build a strong foundation for a career in go-to-market at Vercel.
