Head of Solutions Architecture, EMEA

Excerpt from the original posting

About Vercel:

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. 

About the role:

We are looking for a Head of Solutions Architecture, EMEA to join our global Field Engineering organization. You will build and lead the technical sales organization behind our customer relationships across Europe, a region where some of the most ambitious web and AI products are being built on Vercel, Next.js, and our AI stack. The architecture decisions our Solutions Architects shape early, in the first review and the first migration plan, often determine how far a customer scales with us.

You will drive org planning, staffing, budgeting, and recruiting as you scale the team the region needs, partner closely with EMEA Sales leadership to win new business and expand existing accounts, and report directly to our Global VP of Field Engineering.

 

This is a hybrid position based in our London or Berlin office, with three days per week onsite.

What you will do:

- Lead, develop, and manage our EMEA SA team.

- Ensure technical excellence across the pre-sales cycle.

- Provide hands-on support for key accounts as needed (presentations, architecture reviews, migration plans).

- Oversee and coach SA engagements on strategic accounts across segments.

- Partner with our engineering org to provide product feedback from the field.

- Develop repeatable plays from trends you are seeing across your team.

- Track and report SA performance to Sales and Field Eng…
