Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves a day to day task analysing how any new quotes have changed from the previous day to help identify any issues and raise these.
I help to handle queries in the team inbox which involves gathering remittance advices and commission statements from various dealerships.
Often my day-to-day work will change to meet the needs of the team and go from analysing vehicle future prices to competitor lender rates etc.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes - In my placement i was given lots of opportunities to work with other teams as well as responsibility with some tasks that were shared externally.
I was invited to various committee meetings where slides I made presented in this committee were analysed and reviewed in detail by Head of Finance and even Operations Director in some cases.
