Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My primary responsibilities include, managing timesheets and liaising with the delivery team to ensure their accuracy, as well as performing the Contract Change Notes analysis across the entire programme. Additionally, I refreshed and updated the SOW plans weekly to ensure these are all up to date. I also assisted with managing the security clearance and onboarding processes for new resources to the account. Throughout my placement I also supported all the invoicing processes in the account.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I have been given much responsibility as I have owned processes on my own that are crucial for the client to save millions of pounds.

I have further developed my presentation and communication skills by presenting in the WTC Townhall. I have also learnt about Agile, Garage, Enterprise Design Thinking and Consulting by doing the IBM badges.
