Meltwater Press Traineeship

The team will start operations in our established Edinburgh office with senior management. After 2 months the team will move back to the Netherlands to set up our headquarter office in Amsterdam. You enter your 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. You will rapidly gain 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 the next step. 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 to two years with Meltwater, the best in class will be ready to run one of our offices as Managing Director, either in the Europe, North America or a new international growth market. 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.
