Startups Accelerator Manager at Vercel

This role is ideal for a community-driven professional with at least 3 years of experience managing high-value relationships within the VC and startup ecosystem. The perfect candidate sits at the intersection of business development and technical advocacy; you should be comfortable speaking with C-suite founders while maintaining enough technical "street cred" to discuss modern frontend frameworks like Next.js and React with engineering teams. Based in San Francisco with a hybrid schedule, the position offers a competitive salary range of \$114k–\$143k plus equity. It is a high-visibility opportunity to shape how early-stage startups adopt "AI-native" web tools. You’ll be the face of the brand at major ecosystem events and accelerators like Y Combinator, helping scale programs that directly impact the next generation of unicorn companies. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have an existing network of VC partners, accelerator leads, or founder communities. * Understand the "developer-first" mindset and can talk fluently about the modern frontend stack. * Enjoy "doing it all"—from high-level program strategy to hands-on event execution and data reporting. * Thrive in fast-paced environments where you act as a bridge between sales, marketing, and engineering.
