We’ve invested heavily in customized software, information technology, finance and accounting, marketing, leadership development, and human resources, which can be leveraged across our portfolio companies to increase operating efficiency and generate growth.

At Meriton, we’re committed to a “buy and build” strategy of continuous investments that work to accelerate mutual long-term growth. That means we don’t make short-term bets. We make long-term commitments. At Meriton, we partner with our portfolio companies to expand their reach, amplify their voice, and grow their market share.

And just like the commitment we put into growth for our portfolio companies, we’re devoted to cultivating mutual growth with our associates. Our ongoing objective is to recognize talent, respect hard work, and reward those who understand what it means to “earn it” each and every day.

We’re always seeking top-tier talent, creative problem solvers, and forward-thinking leaders to add to our growing team. If you’re looking to join a group of people as driven as you are, let’s start a conversation at www.meriton.com.
