Overview
Running weekly and monthly sales reports showcasing performance and retailer compliance insights. Helping the Sales Support with queries resolution coming from our retailer network. Many ad hoc tasks, usually involving dealing with sales data.
Skills
Absolutely. By the end of the placement you would be proficient on software like Excel, Tableau and Salesforce which are key to the role. As well, you will learn the basic corporate-job skills like time management, communication, teamwork, etc.
Responsibilities
I would get as much responsibility as I asked for. Of course there will always be a minimum as there are some tasks you would need to do as part of your role, but you could always ask for more or seek for extra opportunities yourself.
Support & Guidance
Managers are VERY supportive. Sales Department is very supportive as well and they are very easy to reach out to.
Culture
Very chill work-life balance. In most roles (not all of them) you wouldn't be expected to work unrecognised overtime.
Your Impressions
Definitely becomes better and better as time passes. Once you get the hang of what you're doing then you have much more freedom to start your own projects and initiatives, so if this is something you'd enjoy then the role is right for you.
Yes
Make sure you do research on the role you're applying for, as they massively vary and will influence the type of experience you will have. Ensure you find one that matches your expectations.
