Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In my role, I support the development and maintenance of key dashboards ensuring data is accurate, reliable and accessible for stakeholders. Day-to-day, this involves problem-solving, responding to business requests and working closely with different teams to understand their data needs. I also contribute to analysis projects and help improve reporting processes across the function.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given a good level of responsibility from early on. I took ownership of key dashboards, resolved recurring data issues and supported important projects like Prime Day analysis. I was trusted to manage tasks independently, contribute to team decisions, and communicate with stakeholders — all of which helped me grow in confidence and accountability.
