About the Partnerships Team

The Partner team at Vercel is growing fast to support our revenue growth and has three broad objectives:

1. Awareness: To be an enthusiast for Vercel with Partners.
2. Deal Flow: To sign Partners to the program and collaborate closely between Partners and Vercel AE’s.
3. Reputation: To ensure success of the Partnership and the shared end Customer’s experience with our Partner and Vercel.

The Partner Team is measured by two results:

1. Pipeline sourced from Partners.
2. Closed/Won Enterprise ARR from Partners.
