Rahat Syeda

Business Strategy Graduate

What was your standout moment when you joined Sky?

"The level of independence I’ve been given in my team from the get go. My sister actually joined the Cyber Security grad scheme, about four years before I joined. So I knew it was a place where I could really develop my potential and get ownership over important projects. At the time, Carbon Neutral by 2030 and Sky Ocean rescue were big things, so I knew it was somewhere that I really wanted to work."

What’s your favourite thing about working in your team?

"My manager was so well versed in how a grad might feel straight out of uni, and what knowledge gaps I might have. We had a two day workshop before even coming into the office on our first day. They do the best they can to make sure we get off to a good start. I like that Sky really invests in us because they know we’re the future of the company."

What’s one thing you’ve become better at since starting at Sky?

"My leadership skills. Initially I was thinking, can I do this? Can I actually lead a campaign? But once I jumped into it, I had all the support I needed, which was amazing. The kind of work I do and the pace we work at varies from campaign to campaign. It’s a great feeling to be able to lead and be trusted to make those decisions. It’s been great for my development."
