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

I work in recruitment marketing and help to manage our life@sage pages> I create most of the content that is published on these platforms and they are colleague led stories that showcase the experiences of colleagues at Sage which builds the visibility and awareness of our employer brand. I also run Glassdoor review campaigns internally to encourage review volumes and I manage our Glassdoor profile including responding to reviews.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Sage?

Be yourself and show up with your best foot forward. It does not matter if you feel like your best is not 'the best.' Sage hires people for who they believe they can become not necessarily who they are at a given point in time.
