    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Worked on a range of projects with/for different members of the team. Longer term projects (i.e. deals) were done as part of a team working predominantly alongside analysts to produce marketing materials. Other projects included ad hoc requests from members of the team, such as finding numbers for a chart or making marketing slides. Overall, the role entails a great deal of responsibility from a very early stage.
