I'm a senior developer for a large e-commerce provider.

Im an Business Analyst (Account Management). Basically its a job where by i sit at a desk all day long and get eye strain looking at numbers. I drown under a sea of emails, phone calls, and pieces of paper.

Im responsible for chasing our affiliates (similar to francise's, but done on license basis) for their weekly business figures, updating our sales pipelines, monitoring our spend under management and reporting actual and projected growth to our Finance and Operations Director, monitoring the whereabouts of our Account Managers, writing reports on deal progress and reporting this information to our Sales and Marketing Director. Im also responsible for monitoring the Issues Log, any issues with our Affiliates, Clients and Suppliers are directed towards me, it is then my area to handle these and monitor their resolution and ensure they are all answered within contracted times. I report this information weekly direct to our Group CEO.

We are an e-commerce service provider, specialising in e-sourcing, e-auctions (forward and reverse). We automate a Clients procurement through our E-Business to Business Market-Site technology offering financial settlement through Charge Card and Payment Gateways.

What a small world, I used to deal with you lot when I lived in Coventry just down the road from Bedworth, the place serviced most of my bikes after Frettons closed. Right up to when my CBR600FM was swiped on September 12th 1992. Back in the days when I had hair. Still hope the thieving pond life seriously hurt himself on it.

At least I'm back on a bike now.

Yup, Alfs place always seemed honest.

[northwind]

I've just taken over a technical helpdesk running the BACS service- direct debits, payrolls, that sort of thing- for Bank of Scotland customers. Bit of a backwards step career-wise but I needed out of my old scene. It's quite interesting work, by and large, and it's a good team I've inherited- total misfits but they're good. My own boss is possibly the most impressive manager I've ever worked under, a real talent, which makes a nice change from working under trained chimpanzees.

Remains to be seen what the job's actually going to be in the long run though, I took over at a bit of an odd time and the whole job's changing as fast as I can learn it.
