Job description
from Red Hat careersAbout the role:
The Global Commercial Sales team is the engine of growth for the company, targeting a $1.9B+ ACV with a 30%+ YoY growth mandate. This HQ-based role serves as the critical "connective tissue" between the SVP’s global strategy and regional execution. You will be responsible for ensuring that global initiatives—specifically the Corporate High-Touch model and Territory Growth scaling—are effectively operationalized across all Geo sales organizations. This is a matrixed role requiring the ability to influence without direct authority to ensure a unified "ONE Commercial" approach.
What you will do:
1. Strategic Strategy-to-Execution Management
Operationalize the CY26 Strategy: Take the high-level priorities from the Global Commercial Planning Guide and translate them into actionable project plans for the Geo markets.
Out-Quarter Pipeline Activity Tracking: Coordinate the global rhythm for "Precision Sprints" (focused on Corporate subsegments) and "Scale Sprints" (focused on Territory partner-led growth).
Cross-Function Execution: Identify and manage dependencies across HQ functions (Marketing, Ecosystem, Tech Sales, and Renewals) to ensure the field receives a cohesive strategy rather than fragmented instructions.
2. Geo-Market Alignment & Field Readiness
Matrix Leadership: Act as the primary HQ point of contact for Geo-based Program Managers and Sales Ops to ensure global initiatives (like the Territory Core/Growth split) are landing effectively.
