Overview
My role is to support the Commercial Planning & Planning manager to support sales growth and drive business development in our Fleet customer portfolios. This involves conducting data collation, interrogation and analysis of different channels of the Fleet business. I also complete testing, auditing and reconciling processes owned by the Commercial Planning & Pricing team.
Skills
I have learnt a lot both in hard and soft skills. In terms of hard skills, my data analysis, problem-solving and the ability to multi-task have significantly improved with how big the car financing industry is. In terms of soft skills, I have learnt a lot more about excel skills, working in a team and collaborating with different functions of the business.
Responsibilities
I was surprised by how much responsibilities I was given as an undergraduate. I was given multiple tasks that I solely own. This has given me room to improve the existing procedures for better efficiency. I also have to complete a lot of ad hoc reporting on the profitability and performance of different areas of the Fleet business.
Support & Guidance
My line manager was very caring and taught me a lot. VWFS has also provided me with plenty of eLearning resources to have a better understanding of the business such as different product types and how the business function as a whole. Moreover, VWFS organized multiple life skill sessions including excel, tax codes, Linkedin etc.
Culture
The company culture was so sociable and inclusive. There are regular team and company-wide events.
Your Impressions
I definitely enjoyed my placement at VWFS to a great extent. I have learned a lot of both in hard and soft skills. I loved the company culture and it was a pleasure to work in the team. I believe this will play a significant role for the rest of my career.
