Strategy and Commercial Intern Review

As a Strategy& Commercial Intern working with the Business Operations team across EMEA Networks and Hayu, I help to manage key reports, monitor relevant market trends, consumer insights and industry news, as well as, support on analysis and presentations for the wider team/ business. Additionally, I help support the SVP and Business Operations team on multiple tasks for strategic projects.

During my time here I have developed both personally and professionally. My Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills have improved noticeably and I have grown more confident in presenting to employees of all levels of seniority. Additionally, I have learnt how to collect and collate research efficiently as well as work with different teams to do so when appropriate.

I have been fortunate enough to have had a very hands on role during my time at NBCUniversal and have felt like and important and integral member of the team. From being in charge of collating and sharing reports to the wider business, to pulling together slides for important business decks, I have appreciated the responsibility that I have been given and feel as though it has been pivotal in my development whilst on placement.

My team are very supportive and have always taken the time to help answer any questions. Additionally, they are very proactive in supporting my development and explaining new terms when required.

NBCUniversal endorses a great work life balance, with core office hours and a hybrid working scheme allowing for a flexible working day and lots of events throughout the year to look forward to. Additionally, it is a fun, friendly and exciting industry and environment to work in with plenty of opportunities to network and grow.

I have loved my time at NBCUniversal and would love to come back after gaining more industry exposure. I think they are a great company to work as a result of both the people you work with and for, as well as the environment and overall balance.

Yes

I would recommend that they research the brand and take an interest. To get the most out of their placement they should not be afraid to network, make connections with those inside and outside of your team, and explore the business as much as they can to help uncover any interests. Additionally, it is important to be open and exploratory when trying new things, and do not be afraid to ask. Lastly, positive or negative, take it as a valuable learning experience, they should enjoy their time, as they are here to learn.
