Hi,
Sorry for shortchanging the profile.
Leadership opportunities taken during my career:
Before I joined my current employer, I worked at a client support center (call center). Within 9 months of working there, I was promoted to the operations leader (the person who takes the lead on all high level issues). I was the most junior person in the department to be given that as an official role. As a result, I became the general "go to guy" whenever a odd issue came about. I was there about another year before I joined my current employer.
In the first year at my current employer (the controllers group), I saw my workload more than double, and I managed and exceeded expectations as it applied to the workload. I also became the training focal point for new hires, interns and visiting joint venture employees. I also worked on projects to improve current work processes (insurance allocations, budgeting, arms length transactions between related parties, etc.). Second year was more or less the same (additional work load, more process improvements, etc.)
The next role I was only in for nine months (supply chain), but I became the six sigma analyst for the unallocated (functional) business. I was responsible for monitoring projects and ensuring recorded savings confirmed to the six sigma guidelines.
Current role is in the internal audit function, and it's more of a service function. The leadership roles in this department are very strictly defined. Some opportunities for leadership have come up, but have been very minimal.
Thanks,
Muhamad
