Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My role as a communications associate for EMEA North and South includes social media posting, event management for internal and partner events both in-person and virtually, email communications (announcements, celebration etc), podcast hosting etc. liaising with a global team.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, over time they trusted me more and more and I was able to own certain projects. I really felt valuable to my team and that I was able to leave my mark on the business.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

The programme leads were absolutely amazing. Any issue I was able to talk freely through with them and they were always available to offer advice. There’s opportunity for mentorship outside of your team as well as support from your line manager and colleagues. It’s also lovely to be a part of a large intern cohort who can also support you.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

A great culture, super friendly and work/life balance focused. Only comment would be the lack of women in leadership positions, as well as some more old fashioned thinking but that’s where the interns become more valuable in pushing a different ethos.
