GTM Acceleration, Technical Solutions

Own the technical proof system for enterprise sales. Build POC playbooks, reference architectures, and competitive frameworks. Drive consistent technical wins. Measure impact on deal velocity, win rate, and proof quality.

Why This Role Exists: Product surface growth: New launches require repeatable proof plans, architectures, and positioning

More technical buyers: CTOs and engineers evaluate Vercel against hyperscalers and incumbents with 10-100x the technical sales support systems as Vercel.

POCs drive deals: Poorly scoped POCs slow or lose deals. Standardized proof increases win rate and speed
