Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a Digital Content Manager in Centrica’s Customer Experience team, I managed the British Gas Business section of the website, ensuring customer journeys were clear and easy to navigate. I led competitor review projects, wrote and optimised blogs, and produced quarterly Market Insight Reports in collaboration with cross-functional teams. Using SEO tools to improve search performance and Jira agile workflows to manage projects from concept to launch, I delivered content that was on-brand, data-driven, and focused on enhancing the overall customer experience.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. I was given responsibility for managing my own projects from start to finish, making decisions, and presenting my work to stakeholders for approval. I often led meetings, coordinated with multiple teams to keep projects on track, and was trusted to suggest and implement improvements. I also took on additional initiatives outside my core role, such as delivering AI training sessions and helping run an internal campaign, which gave me the chance to develop leadership skills and make a broader impact.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes. I developed my project management skills by working within agile workflows in Jira, learned to apply SEO tools more strategically to drive traffic, and strengthened my ability to adapt content for different audiences using AI-assisted editing. I also improved my stakeholder communication skills through regular collaboration with cross-functional teams, and gained confidence in leading initiatives, from training sessions to internal campaigns.
