Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Daily I complete sales reports and fulfill stock requests for various teams or agencies. My role also centres heavily around supporting the Senior Marketing Manager with his projects
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I own the sample stock programme and am solely responsible for fulfilling stock requests for marketing projects. I also manage the sales reports for the category and distribute to senior members globally. Overtime I was given more responsibility and managed projects on behalf of my manager
