What does a day in the life of your role look like?
My role was a business strategy analyst, and every day looked very different because my work was project-based. I'd come into the office, and we'd have a 7 AM meeting with my assistant vice president and the team to discuss everyone's work and progress.
I would then create trackers for all the emails I received daily. My entire team and I would get 200 to 300 emails a day. I'd have to constantly review our team's cost sheets to address them.
In between, I would also work on my projects. This involved market research, conducting meetings with other teams and departments, and creating slide decks for the work I completed.
