Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
My role and work on a day-to-day basis varies depending on the project I am working on, as the nature of consulting is. Currently, I am working as a data/business analyst which consists of gathering, analysing and documenting data on a daily basis. It also requires working across teams to understand how my work fits into the wider solution as other teams will also have requirements that affects my work.
