IT Project Manager Review

As an IT Project Manager in a security team during my 12-month industrial placement at P&G, my role focused on reducing operational risk and streamlining global compliance processes. On a day-to-day basis, my responsibilities involved: developing Automation Solutions and Project Leadership

Yes, I was trusted with a high level of responsibility from an early stage, managing critical security projects with global reach and measurable business impact.

Yes, during my placement at Procter & Gamble, I significantly expanded both my technical and professional skill sets:
​
- Technical Skills & Automation: I advanced my programming and data skills by using Python and SQL to design and deploy compliance workflows and automated data export pipelines.
- ​Project Management & GRC: I developed strong capabilities in enterprise-scale Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) processes, framework alignment, and risk mitigation.
​- Cross-Functional Leadership: I built key stakeholder management skills by leading cross-functional teams to deliver objectives.

I received a fantastic balance of autonomy and structured support during my placement. The intern team and my wider department were incredibly supportive and highly involved from day one.

The company culture perfectly balanced the scale of a global enterprise with the tight-knit, welcoming feel of a regional community.
​Operating within P&G’s Newcastle hub, the atmosphere was incredibly collaborative, supportive, and inclusive. While the work itself had a massive global impact

I grew up a lot during my time at P&G and throughly enjoyed it. Being handed real ownership of global, enterprise-scale projects forced me to step out of my comfort zone and build genuine professional maturity. The structured review periods were particularly impactful the consistent, constructive feedback gave me clear benchmarks for my progress and directly pushed me to refine my skills
