Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a Strategy& Commercial Intern working with the Business Operations team across EMEA Networks and Hayu, I help to manage key reports, monitor relevant market trends, consumer insights and industry news, as well as, support on analysis and presentations for the wider team/ business. Additionally, I help support the SVP and Business Operations team on multiple tasks for strategic projects.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I have been fortunate enough to have had a very hands on role during my time at NBCUniversal and have felt like and important and integral member of the team. From being in charge of collating and sharing reports to the wider business, to pulling together slides for important business decks, I have appreciated the responsibility that I have been given and feel as though it has been pivotal in my development whilst on placement.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend NBCUniversal to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to NBCUniversal
I would recommend that they research the brand and take an interest. To get the most out of their placement they should not be afraid to network, make connections with those inside and outside of your team, and explore the business as much as they can to help uncover any interests. Additionally, it is important to be open and exploratory when trying new things, and do not be afraid to ask. Lastly, positive or negative, take it as a valuable learning experience, they should enjoy their time, as they are here to learn.
