Overview of Role

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

I work a lot with external suppliers, managing any changes which could have a quality impact. I work on calculating and presenting KPIs, I help organise meetings and workshops with cross functional teams. I lead meetings, including a triage weekly which has 30 (approx.) attendees.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes lots of responsibility. You get out what you put in at GSK. I have responsibility to manage changes with external suppliers, facilitate workshops and lead meetings.
