• This role is critical to maximizing executive effectiveness by managing complex schedules, coordinating international logistics, handling confidential projects, and leading cross-functional initiatives that align with sales priorities and business goals across the Americas Commercial Sales organization.
• Day-to-day responsibilities include owning and optimizing the VP’s and LATAM Commercial Leader’s calendars to prioritize critical sales engagements, customer meetings, and partner interactions while ensuring timely responses to requests and exercising sound judgment in decision-making without supervision.
• Managing complex global logistics involving international travel arrangements—flights, accommodations, ground transportation—and ensuring full compliance with Red Hat’s expense reporting policies, while organizing internal and external meetings, agendas, presentations, and follow-up actions.
• Leading multiple concurrent projects within the Americas Commercial Sales organization, providing governance and oversight to ensure alignment with business priorities, tracking milestones, identifying risks and interdependencies across sales teams, and proactively mitigating bottlenecks before escalation is needed.
• Facilitating cross-functional collaboration by leading stakeholder meetings at all levels, fostering teamwork, driving issue resolution, and using data-driven reporting via Salesforce (SFDC), PeopleGlass, and other PM tools to deliver clear status updates on program health, budget, and resource allocation to senior management.
• Handling confidential projects with total discretion, including composing and editing senior-level presentations and documents for executive events and customer meetings, while building relationships with executive assistants and program managers globally, both internally and with external partners.
• Maintaining deep expertise in Red Hat’s operations, policies, and procedures to ensure consistent adherence and serve as a trusted advisor on operational best practices across teams.
• The Americas Commercial Sales team at Red Hat operates within a dynamic, matrixed global structure, supporting the company’s mission as the world’s leading provider of enterprise open-source software solutions, including Linux, cloud, container, and Kubernetes technologies, with a presence in over 40 countries and a culture rooted in openness, innovation, and inclusion.
• Red Hat fosters a flexible, inclusive work environment where associates are empowered to bring their best ideas regardless of role or tenure, and this position offers the opportunity to work remotely from Colombia while contributing to strategic commercial initiatives that impact markets across LATAM and the broader Americas.
• In this role, you will develop advanced expertise in strategic program management, executive-level stakeholder engagement, and cross-functional leadership within a high-performing global technology organization, gaining visibility into senior leadership decision-making and building influence without direct authority.
• You will strengthen your ability to manage ambiguity, prioritize competing demands, and drive execution under tight deadlines while refining skills in data-informed reporting, risk management, and executive advocacy—positioning you for growth into senior program management, operations, or executive support roles within Red Hat or similar organizations.

🎯 Requirements
