Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My role in the Incidents and Resilience Team involves completing the Outages tracker, which is a system that aims to identify and alert potential high-risk system changes and outages. The purpose of this is to mitigate the potential consequences of fraudulent activity. I am also working on a Business Project with other interns, which aims to hyper-personalise customers' experience with their finances.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given responsibility for completing the daily Outages tracker, as well as alerting certain types of changes. I was also given responsibility for presenting the weekly Outages catch-up. However, help and support were always available for any questions I had.
