About the role
We are looking for a Senior Technical Account Manager (TAM) to join our Forward Deployed Engineering organization within Professional Services.
As a Senior TAM, you will be the named, persistent technical owner for the mission-critical workload that anchors your customer's Vercel relationship, across a portfolio of concurrent accounts. You are a peer to their VPs of Engineering and CTOs, and the first line of coordination for every Vercel workstream attached to that workload, across Support, Engineering, Product, and Sales. On a large customer several Vercel roles are engaged at once, and you are the person who keeps them coherent. The Solutions Architect stays technically accountable for the account as a whole.
On the accounts you cover, you take over the post-sales technical relationship for that workload from the Solutions Architect, through a structured handover. The SA stays on the account and continues across everything outside your scope: new teams, new workloads, and expansion.
This is a billable, customer-funded role. Customers purchase Senior TAM engagement as part of their Vercel relationship, and you will carry a portfolio of concurrent accounts. You will not be on-call, you will not write production code, and you will not carry a sales quota. You will own the technical relationship, drive proactive risk identification and architectural guidance, and ensure every other Vercel engagement on your accounts (e.g. Platform Consumption, Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs), Professional Services projects, audits, workshops) lands successfully and compounds in value over time.
Our Professional Services team is structured around a simple frame: PS delivers outcomes, FDE delivers velocity, TAM delivers continuity. You are the continuity. You are the reason a customer's second year on Vercel is more valuable to them than their first.
You will report to the Head of Professional Services and will be located within the Americas or EMEA region.
What you will do
- Own the post-sales technical relationship for a portfolio of strategic enterprise accounts. You are the customer's named technical owner, the person their VP of Engineering calls when something matters. You take this accountability over from the Solutions Architect at deal close, through a formal handover, and you hold it for the life of the engagement. You co-own each account with the Account Executive, with clear domain boundaries: you own technical, they own commercial, and both of you have veto rights within your domain. You run a defined cadence with each account: a weekly Cadence Call, a monthly business review, a quarterly business review with the customer's technical leadership, and an annual roadmap workshop.
- Lead post-incident pattern ownership and technical triage. You are not the 24/7 first call. Customer Support remains the front line, but when an incident escalates or a pattern emerges across multiple incidents, you take ownership. You drive the post-mortem, identify the architectural root cause, and own the remediation roadmap. You commit to responding within 4 business hours in your local time zone to any P1/P2 escalation routed to you, and you are the customer&
