Working with MovePlan since 2010, Katherine's role has allowed her to grow in her career, while taking on a variety of interesting projects.
Katherine’s role before joining MovePlan was in account management, focused on delivering sound editing and creative writing services, whilst tailoring these to the needs of her clients. The skills she acquired were transferable for her role at MovePlan, which she took up in 2010.
“I was approached by a recruiter who was looking for candidates for a business development role at MovePlan. I was attracted by the job description as it had a nice mix of marketing and networking elements alongside the sales activity. I felt it would be a really good role for me, not only to expand my experience, but also to give me the chance to enter the London job market. If ever there is proof of a good job choice, it is this as I’m still here more than a decade later!”
"I felt it would be a really good role for me [and it was] a good job choice - I’m still here over a decade later!"
As a smaller company, MovePlan’s size appealed to Katherine as she felt it would give her the feeling of being an individual within the team, as well as allowing her to see clear routes for progression.
The variety of work is also a key element to her job satisfaction. “The role can be varied, with many opportunities to work alongside interesting people, both internally and client-side. Being able to work flexibly, even back in 2010, was so appealing."
"MovePlan really was ahead of the curve in this respect. It’s rare to be able to experience different workplaces, working practices and styles on a daily basis. I get to understand what type of communication tools work to get people engaged, as well as learning about new best practices that allow us to always have a fresh perspective for our clients.”
Another part of the role is the internal innovation that MovePlan invests in. “We’re currently working on an IT transformation project for the business. MovePlan is always looking to improve its internal processes, particularly when it comes to increasing visibility and efficiency and help manage time and projects within and across teams."
"MovePlan continues to evolve as a business and is looking to stay ahead and be a leader in the industry. I’m pleased I joined and to be part of its journey.”
