    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My role is to assist my team in their larger projects whilst also leading my own. A typical day involves project meetings where I take minutes and then circulate these. I'll also have meetings with agency partners we may be working with on certain projects. The rest of the day is spent on working on my own projects.
