I had responsibility for the Systems team, who designed, created and implemented operational systems across a large diversified media group in London and its subsidiary hotel and leisure groups in Bristol and Hay-on-Wye. I addition, I was responsible for managing performance across these businesses, using the outputs of my systems as a mechanism for change.I worked directly with the CEO, Finance Director and the managing directors of the individual businesses, and I led the Systems team, the HR department and managed Open Gallery, a video art gallery. I was required to understand the daily workings of each business in detail, and then make judgements on how best to tackle a managerial or operational problem. I understood, mapped and streamlined process, before creating systemic solutions that ensured processes happened as it should have. I had direct managerial responsibility for ten staff members across the group.An equally important part of my role was communicating and training colleagues on the changes in process and systemic infrastructure, ensuring a smooth transition from old to new. Working with the large amounts of data across Excel, Access, Project, Google Analytics, and issue trackers, and then manipulating that data utilising complex Excel formulae, Pivot Tables, VBA, Python and SQL, I worked with large data sets, and handled it adeptly to problem-solve, clarify, and then affect real change.My job necessitated working across many media agency sectors, the arts, pharmaceutical, information tech and leisure industries, from post-production, digital marketing, and medical communications to restaurants, bars and hotels, and allowed me to work with a huge range of people doing a variety of interesting things.
