Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Join Penta Group’s Intelligence division as a full-time, paid Media Monitoring Intern and become the eyes and ears for Fortune-500 clients navigating the 24/7 global news cycle. You will sit at the intersection of journalism, data science, and strategic communications, powering a next-generation monitoring service that delivers real-time alerts straight to the inboxes of public-affairs and communications leaders.
• Every morning you will fire up industry-leading aggregation platforms to scan thousands of print, digital, television, radio, and social sources across the Asia-Pacific and U.S. time zones. Your mission: spot the stories that matter, verify facts, and package concise, actionable briefings before your clients’ first coffee.
• You will collaborate with a tight-knit team of seasoned analysts in New York, London, and Singapore, learning how to triage breaking news, flag disinformation, and contextualize coverage for technology, financial-services, energy, and healthcare giants. Daily stand-ups at 8 am HST keep the global workflow synchronized and give you direct access to mentors who have shaped narratives on Capitol Hill and in global boardrooms.
• Beyond headlines, you will build data sets that fuel quarterly sentiment reports and long-range scenario planning. Think Excel pivot tables, Boolean queries, and lightweight Python scripts that turn raw feeds into executive-ready charts—skills that will turbo-charge your résumé for analyst or account-executive roles.
• You will own discrete research sprints—tracking everything from ESG controversies to merger speculation—then present findings to senior staff in weekly “Insight Labs.” These sessions double as coaching clinics where you’ll sharpen storytelling, slide design, and client-presentation skills under the guidance of former journalists and ex-diplomats.
• The internship is deliberately structured for growth: week one is immersive tool training; week two pairs you with a buddy analyst; by week four you are the primary author of at least one client alert per day. Mid-program you will pitch and execute a capstone project—perhaps a TikTok trend analysis for a pharma launch or a broadcast-coverage heat map for a climate summit—earning a portfolio piece you can showcase to future employers.
• Expect a fast-paced, mission-driven culture that celebrates curiosity. Slack channels buzz with geopolitical memes and data-viz tips; virtual trivia nights span five time zones; and every intern is invited to Penta’s monthly “Global Briefing” where C-suite leaders dissect real client crises. You will leave with a network that spans four continents and a reference letter that opens doors.
• This six-month, 40-hour-per-week program runs October 2025 – March 2026, fully remote from Hawaii. The morning shift (8 am–4 pm HST) aligns with New York afternoon and London evening, ensuring you experience the cadence of a global newsroom without leaving home. All you need is reliable internet, a quiet workspace, and the hunger to turn information into influence.

🎯 Requirements

• Undergraduate coursework or completed bachelor’s degree in communications, journalism, government, economics, or a related field
• Demonstrated English fluency with excellent writing, grammar, and organizational skills; ability to distill complex stories into 150-word briefs
• Meticulous attention to detail—spotting a misspelled ticker symbol or misattributed quote is second nature
• Access to a personal computer with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and reliable high-speed internet
• Collaborative mindset and comfort working in a fully remote, multicultural team across multiple time zones
• Preferred: prior experience with media-monitoring tools (e.g., Meltwater, Cision, TVEyes) or familiarity with Boolean search logic

🏖️ Benefits

• $20 per hour, non-exempt, with time-and-a-half overtime for any pre-approved hours beyond 40 per week
• Six months of immersive, paid training in cutting-edge media-intelligence technology and analytic methodologies
• One-on-one mentoring from senior analysts and former journalists to craft a personalized career roadmap
• Dynamic, inclusive culture with virtual social events, global “Insight Labs,” and direct exposure to C-suite leaders
