Overview of Role

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

Supporting European content app partnerships on the Tizen OS Homescreen, by working with clients on QBRs as well as launching non-commercial marketing campaigns for them. I also strongly collaborated with European subsidiaries on local deals. Finally, I helped with Tizen Licensing (i.e. where we license the Samsung Tizen OS system to 3P manufacturers) by producing quarterly M/S OS reports and supporting the creation of a data dashboard to help with efficiency in creating these M/S reports.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes definitely, my manager did an amazing job in structuring my roles so that I would come out of the placement year with real ownership over tasks and having worked across a multitude of areas in the business.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I ultimately developed the skill of becoming a confident presenter in my placement year - I presented on client QBRs, subsidiary workshops, as well as the office townhall, where more than 100+ attendees were present. Which is something I definitely would not have experienced within my university degree. Aside from this, because my manager was supporting 3 teams, with 10+ direct reports, that I also by extension supported on a daily basis, I ended up also learning the importance of time management and collaboration.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

Although I did not have a previous placement to show me the ropes in my first few weeks of joining, I had an amazing team and manager that I could really depend on to receive guidance and support. They were a lovely group of people who I also felt comfortable asking for feedback from, which definitely helped with my overall placement year experience and growth throughout the year.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

It was amazing - I feel very lucky to have been able to spend a year here, and have had this as my first experience of corporate life. Everyone is really kind, but also great at their job, so I've definitely met a lot of role models that I hope to keep in touch and continue to learn from, post placement year.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I loved it, I definitely think this was the most transformative year throughout my university degree, and I've expressed that to both the people in my professional and personal life. I was able to target certain soft skills (e.g. presenting, collaboration etc), as well as make many connections that I am sure will help me in my future professional journey.
