Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I handle a lot of Ad-Hoc requests, answering questions on Business cases, solving data hygiene issues. My main monthly responsibility is reporting on Innovations for my category, seeing which are performing well and getting the drivers behind this
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility, I joined new projects, one involving Net-Zero costing. I feel like I was given more responsibility that other placement students, I really owned Innovations for my category.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
