    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My main role is to interpret existing and future regulations and assess these requirements against our current product portfolio. The work I do varies from day to day - from simple ad hoc requests to larger long term projects.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • The main skill I have developed over my year at BAT is communication. As part of compliance we have to communicate legal requirements to our stakeholders. These stakeholders usually hold no legal background, therefore, learning how to explain complex concepts in simple terms has been hugely useful.
