Experience in developing open source business strategies and using metrics to evaluate success is important.

You’ll engage with both the users of and the developers of open source projects, advocating for the needs of the community while serving as a public face for the projects. You’ll work with members of the Open Source Program Office, engineering, security teams, and other stakeholders across Red Hat as well as in multiple open source software communities.

  • Partner with various teams – including corporate communications, events, consulting, developer, product, and partner marketing – to ensure successful and targeted execution of various community outreach activities including events, social media, web content, and more

What You’ll Bring

  • Familiarity of the security software space and the ability to deepen understanding of the landscape quickly
