Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day-to-day basis, I manage a variety of responsibilities that support the Residual Value (RV) function. I regularly upload monthly disposal data, ensuring the accuracy of the data used for RV reviews and daily operations. I conduct RV review cycles, including both standard and new model/trim reviews. I also handle inbox management requests in line with established procedures.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
At the beginning, I was just learning, so did not have much responsibilities, however as I grew more confident in the role I was given more tasks and even a project to lead.
