Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involves advising enterprises and helping them make the most out of Box and really transform the way that businesses work. We focus on the more technical dimensions of the Box product portfolio and bring custom technical solutions to assist customers address real business challenges. That could involve things like how to best integrate Box into their custom CRM such as integrating with Microsoft teams or Salesforce. We also work with customers in migrating their content into Box from different source systems including dropbox, GoogleDrive, OneDrive and also on-premises storage.
On a day-to-day basis, I spend most my time engaging with customers and working on several different types of projects which include customers from all across. Box offers a lot of flexibility in terms of working, which means that I can go into office or work from home, as long as I’m getting stuff done which is great.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Working at Box has definitely made me a lot more confident and independent. As soon as I started my placement, I was able to jump onto customer calls immediately and really be a key part of the team. Dealing with several meetings, sometimes even back to back, has helped me learn how to manage my time accordingly and be more effective during the day. I've also built on my technical skills whilst working here and being exposed to several different tools and technologies.
