Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My internal IBM responsibilities include monitoring and reporting on the internal team portfolio including the commercial process from modelling and pricing different contract options through to contract signing. On the client side I was responsible for writing and distributing different forms of communications to 9000 colleagues, presenting at live events fortnightly to over 300 people and became the teams scrum master where I faciliatied daily meetings and ensured the team was making progress.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A huge amount of responsibility. I was fully immersed in the client team and many of them would not know that I was an intern rather than a full memeber of IBM
