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

I create marketing campaigns and send these to current customers. I work with various teams throughout the company to work towards commercial targets. Daily there is a lot of collaboration across teams to discuss campaigns and how to optimise these as well as planning for future campaigns.

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

I have learnt how to execute marketing campaigns and how to work with stakeholders to plan and produce these campaigns. I have also learned more about marketing through the apprenticeship

7/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy my programme, there is enough time and support for the apprenticeship but also a chance to work with colleagues to execute campaigns and get hands on experience

7/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The apprenticeship side is well organised by the college, with teaching sessions and extra support available. The role includes work with lots of people to gain experience and isnt always completely organised but over time there are opportunities to have more control

7/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I receive a lot of support if I request it. I am able to ask to work on what I am interested in and there is the chance to get experience in different areas.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

There are revision sessions and calls every month or so with them. There is also training to do on the side and they ask us to log our off the job learning hours and keep on top of this to make sure we are getting the chance to have this learning time

8/10

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

The role directly links to the apprenticeship so it definitely helps. You write a mock essay in the first few months and this is on a project you are working on in your daily role so this helps

7/10

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Our teams do offsites where we collaborate together and get the chance to know eachother better. There are many sports teams at Sage created by colleagues. Social activities also happen within teams. It's a social place to work

8/10

9a. Would you recommend Sage to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Because it is a great company with very friendly staff, supportive colleagues and lots of opportunities. A lot of people in Sage have been here many years and move around the company into different roles. Growth is supported and encouraged.

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

Go for it and focus on what you bring to the table as Sage isn't all about qualifications but about you as a person and what you can bring to Sage
