About SEEK

Innovation, creativity and passion drive us. Entrepreneurial spirit is in our DNA and has underpinned our success ever since SEEK started 20 years ago.

Our purpose is to help people live more fulfilling and productive working lives and help organisations succeed. We are relentlessly focused on better solving the needs of workers and employers, by acting on opportunities that arise as technology and social trends play out.

We have grown from a leading Australian tech company to a truly global player. Our portfolio of international businesses – including Zhaopin, Jobstreet, JobsDB, OCC and Catho – makes us a market leader not only in Australia and New Zealand, but also in mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Mexico and Brazil.

If there’s one thing we know to be true, we’d be nothing without our people. At SEEK we’ve created a diverse community of caring, driven and capable individuals who really know their stuff and work hard to drive the outcomes that make a difference.

The Opportunity

What is the SEEK Strategy & Operations Graduate Program?

The SEEK Strategy & Operations Graduate Program is one-of-a-kind. It combines the best of strategy consulting and high-growth tech to give you an accelerated start to your career. You’ll work with a great group of people with top-tier consulting backgrounds, build analytical and problem-solving skills, and gain hands-on operational experience. You will rapidly grow professionally, while immediately experiencing the impact your work makes on jobseekers, workers, learners, organisations and SEEK.

People who started in the strategy team have gone on to use their skills to lead global product teams or Artificial Intelligence services, run SEEK internal start-ups, manage go-to-market functions or support transformation programs.

What you can expect from the program?

The SEEK Strategy & Operations Graduate Program will help you build solid strategy foundations while seeing your work having a real impact in the business. So, what can you expect?
The 2 year program consists of four 6-month rotations across multiple teams such as strategy, artificial intelligence (AI), product development, commercial, our internal start-ups such as Jora and Certsy, and our international businesses.
You will work on real problems, building skills such as strategic problem solving, analysis, working with stakeholders across the business, communications, influencing and leadership.
As well as on-the-job training, you will also benefit from formal training and coaching throughout - from bootcamps to online courses and training days.
You will work in a positively dynamic environment, be a part of an amazing cohort of grads, learn from experienced individuals and be supported by a mentor who helps you navigate the program and who cares about your career as much as you do.
At the end of the 2 years, you will have built up a toolkit of skills that are applicable across a wide range of roles, built a strong understanding of digital marketplace business models, and hopefully found an area that excites you and where you believe you can make the biggest impact.
