Graduate Finance Leadership Experience: Trade Analyst
As part of the graduate program, I rotate role every year, for 3 years. This year I am in a role where I work as Trade Analyst.
Working as trade analyst is in essence helping the business to improve relationship and performance with our customers – retailers. This includes variety of tasks and projects, so for me no two days are the same.
For example, one of the key projects I worked on this year was yearly price negotiations with retailers, where we analyzed different financial scenarios and potential trade investments.
Some more regular type of work that I do, includes analyzing sales and profitability of different brands and different customers and discussing with sales department potential opportunities or risks we might be facing.
Finally, I spend time connecting with peers from other units to learn best practices, or I am connecting with senior leaders, who give me guidance on personal development and on leadership skills, or I am simply having fun with my team.
Actually, there is one aspect of my role that is the same every day: it's never a dull moment in the office!
