    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • There were no two days that were the same working at Gymshark, which I think makes it exciting! Some of my responsibilities included implementing a new benefit within the Pay & Perks team, supporting training sessions within the Performance team, taking the lead in planning events for interns and implementing a new intelligent hiring platform within the Talent team. I was also involved with Diversity and Inclusion by bringing awareness on certain topics to employees!
