This placement's key responsibilities were informing of competitor price changes, running and improving the operational processes related to tariff closures, tariff launches and the 'Blue Alert' offer to inform customers of tariffs cheaper than the one they were on. My achievements included: - The significant reduction in workload required to inform of competitor price changes - working with key stakeholders to understand their needs and creating a range of VBA tools to validate data coming from our external partners. - Building an in-depth understanding of tariff structure and customer bills to be able to test if the correct savings messages were displayed on correspondence. - Supplying the B2C Commercial Director with analysis to inform Standard Variable and Fixed tariff decisions and to better understand the market. Including creating new slides for meetings of the Customers leadership team.
