Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Interned in the Investment Optimisation team.
Involved completing a project on Small Business Card Acquisitions.
Most days would consist of a review with my hiring leader on the project progress. This is followed by the requirements of the project. Some days would be full of data analysis, other days would involve speaking to other teams (e.g. markets, strategy teams, etc.). Finally, the day would also consist of networking with individuals in other teams.
