Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
There are two seperate overviews of my role I must give. One as a Business Analyst, one as a Degree Apprentice. I have had no similar job for more than 6 months at a time due to a changing placement structure, but I have seen so much of the business in such a short time already. As a Business Analyst, you are to understand core technical and business environments for a variety of reasons that enable key development projects. You are a median between the technical and business functions and build realistic, cost-effective solutions that support both appropriately.
As a degree apprentice, you must be able to effectively balance work and study such that both get the appropriate focus. BAE Systems provides an incredibly strong and supportive environment to fulfil this.
