The people behind the platform
A Sydney-based team that's spent two decades close to the news industry, building tools we'd want to use ourselves. Come build the next chapter with us.
The people behind the platform
Who we are
We're a small, senior team that sits unusually close to the people who use our product, journalists, communicators and experts, and that proximity shapes everything we build.
Influencing is built and run from Sydney as part of the MediaConnect Group. Some of us have spent years inside newsrooms and comms teams; others come from product and engineering. What we share is a belief that good tools should get out of the way and let good work happen.

How we work
The values we hire and build by
Ambition
We aim higher than “good enough”, for our product, our customers and the industry we serve.
Relentless
We don't stop at the first version. We keep pushing until the work genuinely helps the people using it.
Trust
We do what we say, with each other and with the people who rely on us. It's earned daily, never assumed.
Ingenuity
We find smarter, simpler ways through, especially when the obvious path doesn't exist yet.
Care
We sweat the details and look after people, customers, colleagues and the craft itself.
Learning
We stay curious, ask the awkward questions and treat everything we ship as a chance to get better.
Energy
We bring momentum. Good work should feel alive, and so should the team doing it.
