Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Identifying opportunities to introduce new propositions to create new revenue streams while providing a luxurious experience to the clients. Day-to-day work involves collaborating with global markets to understand the requirements and viability of potential propositions along with forecasting the financial implications of said propositions.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Within the first few weeks, I was trusted to own a proposition which at first seemed daunting but made me feel confident that I had the opportunity to make a difference. I was also given a chance by my team to present my work in front of board members and show the progress we had made.

I have understood how to navigate situations that are dependent on other teams and what actions to take.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Although it was a business environment, everyone was extremely close with each other and treated each as a family rather than just work colleagues.
