Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is to support the strategic growth of Lifestyle and Collection brands within EMEA. While also working as key stakeholders in setting the brand standards and programs for the hotels both operationally and strategically. The role varies day-to-day due to the project dependent nature which is based on business needs. For example, in a week I could have several projects ranging from competitor research to changing brand standards.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I have been given a good level of responsibility during my placement through ownership of projects and assisting my team on various pieces of work.

Furthermore, over the year I have expanded my commercial knowledge in regards to the hospitality industry and developed soft skills such as prioritisation and time management.
