Placement Year Review at PSA Peugeot Citroën

The Role

Role Description

The placement year was split into two parts, with the first six months working on improving customer satisfaction within the dealer network and the second six months collecting competitor analysis and reviewing positioning within the market.
Daily duties varied within different roles but primarily there was a lot of internal communication and independant research undertaken.
