Overview of Role

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

The purpose of this role to drive both enterprise accounts as well as the wider team in terms of communication and deal developments. Whether that's a workshop to help drive engagement or help the client understand the product and how it can help. My role matters within this as I help brand leads/ leadership team setup these events and drive client engagement to attend to help drive POC and RFPs. Always room to improve internal collaboration and the role of this intern is to always seek ways to make this better. As we work with the wider teams within data, automation & HW this gives a free range for the intern to explore interest within IBM technology and see what they are most interested in.
