Meltwater Australia Graduate Programs & Internships

  • Technology

We are a leading media intelligence SaaS company. Our software tracks any relevant information out there on traditional or social media platforms, analyses it and makes sense of it, which then enables our clients to stay on top of billions of online conversations, extract relevant insights, and use them to strategically manage their brand and stay ahead of their competition.

Meltwater was founded in Norway back in 2001 with a capital of just 15,000 USD. We quickly became the leaders of media monitoring in Europe and then decided to conquer the US market, with the move of our headquarters to San Francisco (where else should a tech company go?) in 2006. And we did conquer the US! At the end of 2006, we stepped foot in Australia and set up our Sydney office. Then added Melbourne and we now have over 100 employees in Oz! Globally, we have grown to have 50+ offices on 6 continents and have more than 30,000 clients who use the Meltwater media intelligence platform. With over 2,000 employees worldwide, Meltwater is dedicated to offering a personal, yet global service, built on the local expertise of each office.

Our culture is based on a fundamental belief in people and the potential they possess. Our employees embody the ‘work hard, play hard’ spirit, and we are lucky to have some of the best and most talented people out there. We pride ourselves on taking great people and helping them do extraordinary things in a dynamic, global environment that fosters positivity, entrepreneurship, and teamwork.

And we’re not going to stop the growth any time soon!

Meltwater values hiring on potential rather than experience. Rest assured, we'll ensure you're fully prepared and geared for success. We have lots of training and development in place in both media intelligence and all things sales! The training doesn't stop there – throughout your time here, you will be mentored by senior staff, and groomed to one day lead a team of your own.

Recruitment Process

The interview process will begin with a phone interview with the Talent Acquisition team, followed by interviews with the hiring managers and finally, a panel interview.

What Graduates Say About Them
  • High level of autonomy and trust. They also invest a lot of time and effort into training and ensuring that you have a position that properly meets your needs and interests.
  • The companies focus on growing their people. The autonomy I have in my role.
  • The team! I work very closely with a team of 12 and they have quickly moved from my colleagues to my friends. Our job can be difficult and stressful at times, as any job can, however, being surrounded by a warm, supportive, and highly engaged team makes these challenges seem small.
  • People - you get to work with motivated and like-minded people who are as invested in the company's success as you are. Everyone is brought into the journey of personal development and our vision within the AUNZ region. The people I work with are part of the reason I bounce out of bed every morning, I love who I get to spend my days with, and many of them are friends outside of the office too! Culture - our company's success is achieved off the backbone of a number of things but culture is certainly up there as one of the key reasons we have been such a successful company. When company's talk about culture on their websites or on social etc, it's often not reflected in real life - at Meltwater it's 100% more than what you expect and that's the continuous feedback we receive from newly on-boarded hires. We also have fun nights out together, a few bevvies down by the pub, office events etc. which is the cherry on the top! Product - our product is amazing and continuously developing, it's never the same and is changing based on global industry trends and patterns - it makes it really exciting working with clients. We also acquire a number of AI-based companies each year which drives the innovation and tech piece we're often punting!
  • No two days are alike. One day is totally different from the next. You also work with a wide variety of businesses.
  • It can sometimes be stressful when you're trying to achieve things never done before.
  • Can be stressful, you have a lot of responsibility.
  • There is not much to complain about, besides my 4.30 am wake-up + 6.00 am start, but I get to watch the sunrise over Sydney Harbour and finish at 1, so it evens out!
  • I wouldn't say things are worse than others, you need to set your expectations of what 'work-life' will be like, and what it takes to be successful and develop your skills through personal development. Hard work is something you should expect from any business and at Meltwater, you can expect to work hard and will need to put in the effort to be a success however the rewards are so sweet, it'll be worth it. From career development and learning new skills very quickly to international trips and earning some really good $ off the back of the work you put in, you can't go wrong. Expect to work hard and expect to be challenged and push yourself.
  • Trying to prove yourself in a role where there is no target to beat or double or beat others in.
