8/10

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

As a client management analyst, the main role involves preparing for meeting cycles (4x annually for most clients), completing statutory returns & notices for the Regulator and dealing with any ad-hoc issues for the client such as individual member cases or complaints.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Communication, organisation & time management have been the skills most improved over the course of the Apprenticeship. Presenting at client meetings early on in the role boosted my confidence in public and professional speaking. Liaising with external teams improved my time & project management skills.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

This programme has been an enjoyable, informative experience that has opened me up to the world of Corporate management, not just in the pensions industry. It has opened many new pathways and doors to go down and increased my network of like-minded professionals.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Studying for the PMI has boosted my performance in the workplace as it gives me the knowledge to understand more about the work I'm completing, the background & the regulatory impact on the Trustees.
