    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Category management role. Day-to-day tasks involve updating KPI dashboards and sending out share notes both internally and externally with the latest data. Competitor analysis and market research are also prevalent, working on projects both on a long term and ad hoc basis.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • Developed my presentation skills as a result of exposure in smaller settings which then progressed to larger scale, higher pressure presentations as my skills progressed. Technically, I've become competent on numerous data platforms, providing training sessions to new starters.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given a good amount of responsibility. Towards the back end of my placement I had autonomy over many tasks and felt more than comfortable approaching my line manager about any areas of work I was interested in delving further into. It was a good balance, with managers also checking work before it was sent externally for example.
