Meltwater Press - Join a Winning Team
Meltwater Press is one of the fastest growing business units within the Meltwater Group. Since it's inception in October 2009 we have set up offices in San Francisco, Atlanta and New York and have also expanded overseas to the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

We offer groundbreaking software solutions for PR professionals that help them reach out to the most influential journalists in their space.

Due to our rapid expansion, we are looking for highly driven and ambitious talents who want to pursue a career in business and management.


Our Entry Level Business Development Program
You will join the team as a Sales Consultant and contribute to developing our business in the PR space. In that role you will learn everything about creating tailored value for our potential clients in a consultative process. To succeed in your role we will coach and train you in business communication, effective organizational skills and negotiation tactics. Soon you will gain profound insight into public relations as well as crucial business development experience to set a base for your career in the software field.

After demonstrating successful results, business acumen, and management potential, you will be ready to take on a leadership role. As a Sales Manager you will be in charge of up to five people, and we will train you in your role as mentor and coach to your team. Crucial to your success will be presentation skills, running workshops and working effectively with feedback to ensure sustainable learning for your team members.

Ideally, after only one year with Meltwater, you will be ready to run one of our offices as Managing Director, either in the USA or overseas. Upper management will instruct and coach you on all crucial strategic and operative aspects of running a successful unit within our business.

Your career with the Meltwater Group can continue in Meltwater Press or within one of our other business units. There will be opportunities to set up offices around the globe or to take on regional responsibility. Furthermore, there are an increasing number of positions in our growing central functions such as finance and controlling, marketing and communications, human resources, legal, and technology and development.
