Overview
I mainly supported the cross-sector risk team where I took ownership of producing multiple reports & financial metrics for all sector risk teams; and also had ownership of certain management systems, facilitating reviews for complex UKI accounts. In parallel, I worked on an architecture delivery team where I had the responsibility for multiple client dashboards. My day started with both of my daily stand-ups and then working on the work I had been assigned.
Skills
I have a learnt a lot of new skills in my job including how to properly use: Excel, internal management systems & PowerBI to produce dashboards. I have also learnt many soft skills including: bettered problem solving abilities, being able to quickly integrate with a new team, running meetings with sector leads and partners and in general just how the workplace operates.
Responsibilities
Yes, I was given a lot of responsibility, for many deliverables in both roles, where I owned the process.
Support & Guidance
I was luck enough to have a great mentor when I joined and she taught me everything I know: ranging from how the organisation works to how to use Excel and IBM systems.
Culture
The culture here is one of my favourite aspects of the company. It is quite relaxed and everyone is willing to speak to you, and help, no matter who they are and where they sit in the organisation.
Your Impressions
I throughly enjoyed my placement here and couldn't have imagined a better place to spend my year. I appreciate all the opportunities that were provided to me, the people I worked with, and all the friends I made along the way.
Yes
Be open to all opportunities that come before you and talk to whoever you can!
