Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Had three rotations between the Asset Risk, Market Risk and Pricing teams. Spent time creating forecasting models, answering ad-hoc queries from other parts of the business and contributed to the quarterly pricing round to price the cars available on the scheme.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
For the most part, yes. Although naturally there were some areas of work which would be left to senior colleagues as it required experienced people to carry out the work.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Motability Operations to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Motability Operations
I would say the only problem with Motability Operations is that, in the teams I worked in at least, there is a fairly flat hierarchy, making it difficult progress quickly.
