Global assistant brand manager Review

My role involves building Cif's global strategy (specifically focused on Cif's purpose and our brand key) and then collaborating with other functions to ensure we see this executed in markets. I have also done some work on clean future which is all about driving better environmental practises within Cif and our products. The most recent work I am doing on this is biodegradable fragrances.

Yes, I was given a high amount of responsibility and am often reminded by my line manager that someone of my status wouldn't usually be given a job that is so influential on the brand - this being strategy. In addition, I have spent the last 4 months without a direct LM meaning I have had full responsibility over the work I have been doing

I have learnt key skills in collaboration and communication as this is integral when working with so many functions holding different opinions. Increased skills in organisation, specifically when I had to plan a 3 day workshop. Increased powerpoint skills due to the amount of presentations I've had to put together.

My line manager was highly supportive throughout my placement, but also encouraged wanted me to try and figure things out on my own before coming to her for advice. I also had a highly supportive team who I knew I could ask any question whenever I needed to

Company culture is really welcoming and you are never left to feel unwanted or like the work you are doing is invaluable. It's very friendly and there is no hierarchal feel to the organisation (e.g., not once have I been made to feel like the youngest/that I am inferior to others)

I have really enjoyed it - the work I have done and the people I have been doing it with. There were times where I found I was lacking in work but that is because my team was undergoing a restructuring. I also found I enjoyed work much more when we started going into office again as I could build better bonds with my team
