    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • No day was the same for me. My manager truly tailored the role to my goals and aspirations and it kept moving from one project to another. Below are some of the activities that I engaged with throughout my placement. Analysed voluminous data to create a monthly metrics report, entailing performance insights on marketing channels for regular senior leadership team reviews. Delivered high-value email-campaigns under tight deadlines whilst working with cross-functional teams such as my alliance partners, creative agencies, medical team and other external stakeholders. Used A/B testing to select an optimal marketing channel mix for providing national visibility to sales representative led meetings, thus exceeding local benchmarks by 220%. Designed a brand website by learning new software tools and implementing an engaging UX journey whilst delivering this global project within 20 days. Led on a project to increase Pfizer sign-ups to company's email newsletters and embedded track links for effective mapping of success KPIs. Successfully contributed to closing the Gender Pay Gap by 5% through brainstorming on ideas and implementing them with the Diversity and Inclusion team.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Yes tons! Whilst I have worked extensively across projects my manager made sure to ease me into this high level of responsibility over a period of time. This is why I never felt I was thrown into the deep end and was able to gradually build my skills and confidence to lead on projects such as running email campaigns, building a global website, creating metrics dashboards, etc. With my placement nearing to an end my manager is nervous with the amount of projects that I have led on which will be going over to him!
