Overview
I spent my placement year working closely with the Business Partner Ecosystem and Sales Execution Support Channel for the CSI (Customer System Integrators) and PCR team. My role entailed creating weekly reports consisting of pipelines for the Client Executives on live deals. Each week, Grant and I would discuss progress on the current deals with the Client Executives, before consolidating all that was discussed in our meeting review, which enabled us to update the forecast budgets. I was fortunate to work with eight different Client Executives, which provided me with a wide range of experience as each Executive was responsible for different external clients.

A lot - they provide you with a foundation manager who is their for you whenever you need. You can talk about all sorts. The foundation manager is different from your Task manager.
