Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Many different tasks from creating and analysing tests to working across multiple teams. Communicating with product managers to identify areas of improvement in the company and how we can achieve this.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Working with my manger and other members of the team allowed me to understand what the role requires and pick up on any of the technical skills required. My manager gave me multiple opportunities to work and showcase some of the skills required and handed my responsibilities of carrying out analysis by myself. This was extremely useful in my career growth.
