Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My day-to-day activities include internal and external meetings. Internally, I work with other Home & Hygiene CAMs across various retailers and collaborate with CSP, supply chain, shopper, and marketing teams to discuss incremental opportunities, supply forecasting, and in-store/online activations. Externally, I plan upcoming promotions for the products within my portfolio and discuss opportunities to align on future plans to maximise growth.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was able to lad/manage projects which gave me a purpose. I believe that not many companies offer this level of responsibility in other placement schemes.
