Tom has already hit the ground running, bringing adaptability, a love of well-organised data, and a strong appreciation for asking the right questions early. We caught up with him to hear about his transition into the role, what drives his productivity, and how building magnetic tile towers might just be his secret superpower outside of work.
It’s been a great experience so far, there are plenty of friendly faces and good working practices in place which makes the transition into any new role an easier process
A big one is adaptability, being able to juggle the required tasks and priorities without losing sight of the bigger picture. Also, a healthy appreciation for documentation and well-organised data storage practices.
Asking questions early saves time later.
I’m a big fan of a list, to-dos and plans are the cornerstone of a well-maintained and organised working week. It’s also a pretty satisfying feeling to be able to tick tasks off, the more longstanding the task, the better.
Everyone’s genuinely helpful and happy to share knowledge, it’s also helpful that the team are incredibly experienced and on average, have many more years under their belt than myself across the board.
Getting up to speed with new systems and processes is always a bit of a challenge but I think I’m slowly but surely getting there.
There’s a few interesting things in the pipeline but I can’t give much away, think streamlining and data.
I have two very small children so hobbies have taken a bit of a back seat – although I am getting very good at building things with magnetic tiles, if a role in the tech sector doesn’t work out for me I think this could be a firm back up.
