This role sits within the Installed Base department, and I managed the end to end contract process for large corporate accounts within the Technology Services Business Unit. I had responsibility for accounts such as Samsung, AON and Deloitte. These accounts have an annual value of approximately £2million.
It has been an excellent experience. I've had a thoroughly enjoyable time, whilst taking on real responsibility, and using every possible opportunity to network.

Therefore, it's important to work hard and get the work done to a high standard. This is definitely appreciated when done correctly.
I had monthly one-to-one meetings with my manager to discuss any problems or uncertainties that I may have. We'd also use this time to plan my next development steps, and find new opportunities for me within the company.
I always had something to do. Some days were busier than others, but I think that's the same with the majority of jobs. If I was quiet, I could always find something to help a colleague with.
I managed an account set which included Samsung, AON and Deloitte, with an annual value of approximately £2million.
