Meet Lauren, a Graduate Project Manager

undefined

Lauren Glasgow

Graduate Project Manager

Aviva

In my university days, I worked in a restaurant that was incredibly fast-paced. I had to be really well organised and juggle different priorities, which has served me well in my job as a project manager in the Change & Transformation space. I didn’t realise at the time, but it also taught me a lot about managing relationships, which has proved invaluable when it comes to engaging with colleagues, including members of the senior leadership team.

I actually studied Musical Theatre, which may not seem the most obvious path to the job I do now. But it’s certainly helped with some of the projects I’ve been involved with outside work. There are so many amazing things you can dedicate your volunteering days to. On one occasion, I was able to run a workshop, teaching young children with learning disabilities to sing and dance!
