Overview
The role normally involves answering prospective proposals and engaging with people across the business to answer specific questions. If this successfully goes to pitch, you work with the team to produce a pitch deck, give feedback and make any adjustments. In quieter periods I get involved in other projects to improve relationships with existing clients and/or drive new business.
Skills
Developed communication and organisation skills as well as those with more technical aspects.
Responsibilities
Given lots of responsibility! Responsible developing written answers, modelling portfolios, modelling risk and fees levels that were submitted to clients as well as for all our quarterly and monthly reporting. Worked on pitch proposals and was able to suggest ideas to put forwards. Also given the opportunity to attend a couple of client meetings.
Support & Guidance
Lots of support and guidance. Everyone very happy to help on things I got stuck on, even if having to explain things a couple of times/ways until you understand. Regular meetings with managers and the team really helped this.
Culture
Good culture, very friendly and everyone keen to help where they can.
Your Impressions
Thoroughly enjoyed my placement! Met some amazing people and developed not only technical skills, but softer skills too.
Yes
Ensure you are proactive and show how your experience is relevant - even if you have no experience in investment or pensions, they can teach you all this. Your personal experience and softer skills are more what they are after.
