Product Manager - Agent Platform

Vercel • San Francisco, CA

6h • $196,000 - $294,000

About The Position

Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. As the team behind v0, Next.js, and AI SDK, Vercel helps customers like Ramp, Supreme, PayPal, and Under Armour build for the AI-native web.
Our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products. That starts with creating a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you're building on our platform, supporting our customers, or shaping our story: You can just ship things.
We're looking for a Product Manager to own a new enterprise product that enables companies to build, deploy, govern, and orchestrate AI agents at scale. This is one of the largest bets Vercel is making in an exciting, fast moving space. No platform has nailed this yet, and the timing is now.
This is a 0-to-1 role. You'll take the product from design partners to GA, defining how Fortune 500 companies build their AI agents on Vercel. Within 12 months, you'll have taken this from concept to paying Enterprise customers.
The product packages Vercel's existing AI primitives (AI SDK, AI Gateway, Sandbox, Workflows, v0) into a unified platform with orchestration, observability, and enterprise governance. The goal: every function in a company (Sales, HR, Engineering, Data, Finance) can build, deploy, and govern agents through one secure platform.
This is a horizontal role that cuts across nearly every team at Vercel. You'll work directly with Engineering, Design, Sales, and executive leadership to ship a product that defines a new category.

Requirements

• You've done 0-to-1 product launches in enterprise or infrastructure. You know what it takes to go from nothing to paying customers, and you've done it at least once before
• You're biased toward speed and shipping. You'd rather launch something imperfect to 3 design partners than spend 6 months perfecting a spec
• Engineering background (ex-engineer, technical founder, or CS degree). You can review architecture docs and hold your own in technical design discussions with senior engineers
• You understand developers deeply. You know what earns developer trust and what destroys it. You've built products that developers choose to adopt
• You have a high level mental model for AI agents: tool use, orchestration, multi-step reasoning, model routing. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be building with these tools in your own workflow today
• You've sold to or worked closely with enterprise buyers (CIO, VP Eng, Head of Platform). You understand procurement cycles, security reviews, and what makes a CIO say yes
• You're an exceptional cross-functional operator. This role touches multiple product teams, Sales, and Design. You need to align teams that don't report to you

Nice To Haves

• You've been a founder or early employee at a startup (especially one selling to enterprises)
• You have experience with platform products where you set patterns other teams build on
• You've worked on products involving identity, security, or compliance in enterprise contexts

Responsibilities

• Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap from first design partner through GA and beyond
• Define how enterprises create, test, deploy, and manage AI agents on Vercel's infrastructure
• Design the governance and security layer that gives CIOs visibility and control over agent proliferation
• Define packaging, pricing, and the commercial model, then validate it with enterprise buyers
• Work with the v0 and AI teams at Vercel to make agent creation accessible to non-technical users
• Define the integration and connector strategy for enterprise SaaS ecosystems
• Drive the design partner program: identify candidates, onboard them, synthesize feedback, and iterate rapidly
• Partner with Sales and Solutions Engineering to build the enterprise sales motion
