About the job
The Red Hat Acceleration and Strategy team, which ensures connection and alignment across the diverse portfolio and teams of the Enterprise Data and Analytics (EDA) team, is looking for a highly collaborative Acceleration and Strategy Intern to join us remotely in the Eastern Time Zone. In this role, you will help the team surface the right information at the right time and with the right context to guide continuous improvement across people, process, and technology. You will identify and address opportunities and gaps in our people processes to accelerate our ability to deliver business value. You'll get a chance to use an open design approach, research and apply insights for concept development, plan for sustaining efforts through enablement and EDA associate engagement, and define ways to measure the impact of each part of our people performance program.

We look for people who apply critical thinking and welcome creative solutions. We challenge ourselves to modernize while at the same time building exceptional customer experiences with our offerings and services. We aren't afraid to fail for the right reasons, but we never give up trying to exceed expectations. If you want to help build a community of innovation dedicated to excellence, then join us on our journey as part of an outstanding open source enterprise data and analytics team.
