Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Dealing with client queries as they arrive, attending client meetings, and working on longer-term commercial projects with Operations teams.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I dealt with large clients, £20M+ annual revenue however, my input and impact in these meetings were minimal as expected. For some smaller projects (£0 - £100K revenue clients) I was able to take the lead and feel real responsibility.
