Overview of Role

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

I work within a Product and Services team supporting a Global Product Manager with the strategic roll out and development of network APIs. Day-to-day involves creating materials that support wider teams to streamline the rollout process.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Not particularly given ownership of high profile work, I was more predominantly given responsibility through personal projects.
