Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Focusing on strategy development and market engagement, I work with project teams to deliver business-focused initiatives and strategic recommendations for our clients, giving them the advice, they need to grow and improve their operating performance. I also actively help support clients in putting those recommendations into practice.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given responsibility to conduct research and analysis individually within both strategy projects, whilst being guided by the team if I needed help. I was encouraged to maximise participation in meetings and share my ideas.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship within the Strategy & Technology Group (STG). I got exposure to the Insurance industry and experienced exactly what a Strategy Consultant does on a day-to-day basis. I was very much involved in project work, developed skills useful for the future, and met and socialised with interns from all over the organisation.
