Always doing new things, never boring
Mixture of financial analysis, research and meeting with key stakeholders. As a graduate, much of the work is assisting others in the team.
Work plans typically follow an annual cycle of expected activities and then other ad-hoc activities or 'project' type activities (typically on a volunteer/EOI basis). Day-to-day revolves around these 3 types of activities, and includes document review, drafting lines of questions in preparation for meetings, making judgements on the adequacy of risk management etc.
