1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Every 6 months we rotate our sections, in the last 6 months, my daily tasks included, setting up client visits, booking in engineer visits, organizing team events and running my very own project. I was responsible for all interactions with the clients involved. I would report weekly to the Senior manager of the Southern Europe region as well as the Vice President of Client Services for Visa Europe.
