    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Overall a good placement, people are supportive across the business and culture is great. Matrix structured organisation is good and allows lots of connections across the business but it can take a long time to get things done. Lots of opportunity for learning and development, good opportunities to get a view of various departments within the business.
