    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • The purpose is to facilitate strong relationships with customers hence communication with different teams + clients because relationship managers are the first point of interaction.

There was the opportunity to understand how financial modelling works and the pricing model used.
