Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is split between two teams each with slightly different responsibilities, commercial and consumer. The main focus is managing and analysing reports which provide sales info both sell-in and sell-out. Then relay and present this information to my manager and the team. I'm also responsible for stock management and helping with logistics, this is involved with delivering samples or products to events/organisations/partnerships and other business opportunities or needs.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a fair amount of responsibility, enough to make me feel valued in the organisation. These tasks were varied and gave me a good chance to work independently and provide my own outlook on how to tackle the tasks, sometimes without any guidance at all which i enjoyed a lot.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
