Start the check, free

1What this role really is

You'll be the person digging deep into what our competitors are up to, what's shifting in the market, and what all that means for our strategy. It's about turning raw, often messy, information into clear, actionable insights that our leadership team can actually use to make big decisions. You're not just reporting facts; you're telling a story that helps us stay ahead.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Market Intelligence Platforms (e.g., AlphaSense, Tegus, PitchBook)Expert

Building complex multi-source queries, vetting expert call transcripts for subtle signals, identifying non-obvious connections between competitor moves, and setting up advanced alerts for your assigned 'beats'.

Data Visualization (e.g., Tableau, Power BI)Expert

Designing complex, interactive dashboards that clearly communicate insights to senior leaders, connecting to and blending multiple data sources, and performance tuning existing visualisations to ensure they're snappy.

Advanced Excel (e.g., Power Query, VBA, Financial Modeling)Expert

Auditing complex financial models for errors, automating reporting workflows with VBA scripts, and building robust scenario analysis tools for market sizing or competitive response planning.

Financial & Scenario Planning (e.g., Anaplan, Pigment)Advanced

Modifying existing strategic models, building new modules to test specific market scenarios, and training business users on how to use the platform for their own planning needs.

Data Governance & Cataloging (e.g., Collibra, Alation)Basic

Using the data catalogue to find and understand the lineage of various internal data sources, and contributing to the definition of key intelligence metrics and data quality standards.

Internal Data Querying (e.g., SQL - PostgreSQL, Snowflake)Advanced

Writing performant SQL queries with window functions and complex joins to extract specific datasets for analysis, and creating reusable views for business users to access common intelligence data.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Research Methodology & ToolsFollows prescribed methods; uses pre-approved tools.Chooses appropriate methods and tools for routine tasks; seeks approval for new tools.Designs custom research methodologies; selects and justifies new tools within project budget; consults on broader tool strategy.
Project Scope & TimelinesEscalates all changes to supervisor.Manages minor scope adjustments; flags potential delays to manager.Proposes scope adjustments based on new insights; negotiates realistic timelines with stakeholders, consulting manager on significant shifts.
Insight DisseminationDrafts reports for review; supervisor decides audience.Identifies key stakeholders; drafts communications tailored to audience; manager reviews before broad distribution.Determines optimal format and audience for insights; crafts executive-level narratives; consults manager on highly sensitive disclosures.
External Vendor EngagementNo direct engagement.Coordinates with pre-approved vendors for specific tasks.Scopes, commissions, and manages relationships with external research vendors up to £20K per project; recommends new vendors.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Insight Adoption Rate
Number of your key insights (e.g., competitor move, market trend) formally incorporated into a business unit's quarterly or annual plan.
Target · At least 2 'non-obvious' insights per half year

Your analysis of Competitor X's patent filings led Product to prioritise a new feature, which was then added to the Q3 roadmap. That counts.

Research Project Completion Rate
Percentage of assigned intelligence projects (e.g., market sizing, competitor deep-dive) completed on time and to agreed scope.
Target · 90% on-time completion

You were given three market sizing projects for Q2; all three were delivered by the deadline with all requested components.

Data Accuracy & Source Diversity
Reliability of the data you present and how many different, credible sources you've pulled from to form your conclusions.
Target · Zero material factual errors in executive briefings; average of 5+ distinct sources per major analysis

Your competitor profile for a board meeting had no inaccuracies, and you cited sources from earnings calls, industry reports, news articles, and expert interviews.

Stakeholder Trust & Proactive Consultation
How often key internal stakeholders (like Product or Sales Leads) come to you proactively for insights or advice, rather than just waiting for your reports.
  • You're regularly invited to planning meetings, even if it's just to listen in. People ask for your opinion on early-stage ideas or 'what if' scenarios. They trust your judgement and seek you out for advice before making big calls.
Quality of Narrative Synthesis
Your ability to take disparate pieces of information and weave them into a clear, compelling, and actionable story for senior leaders, complete with a 'so what' and clear recommendations.
  • Your executive summaries are praised for their clarity and conciseness. Leaders can immediately grasp the implications of your findings. Your presentations aren't just data dumps
  • they tell a story that drives action.
Mentorship Effectiveness
The growth and development of junior analysts you're informally guiding, specifically in their analytical skills and understanding of the intelligence cycle.
  • Junior team members you've worked with show noticeable improvement in their research quality, critical thinking, and ability to structure their analysis. They feel supported and learn effectively from your guidance.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You love diving into a messy dataset or a vague market rumour and piecing together the true story. The more ambiguous the problem, the more engaged you are. You get a real kick out of uncovering something no one else saw.

Spending a whole afternoon cross-referencing a competitor's job postings with their recent product announcements to predict their next strategic move – and getting it right.

Influencing High-Stakes Decisions

You're not content with just providing data; you want your work to actually change how the business operates. You enjoy the challenge of presenting your findings to senior leaders and seeing your recommendations shape real-world outcomes.

Successfully convincing the Head of Product to pivot on a feature roadmap based on your deep-dive into customer feedback and competitor offerings.

Continuous Learning & Growth

The market, our competitors, and the tools we use are always changing. You're excited by the prospect of constantly learning new analytical techniques, understanding new industries, and adapting your approach to stay ahead. Stagnation is your enemy.

Voluntarily taking a course on advanced SQL or a new data visualisation tool because you see how it could improve your analysis and presentation.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Crystal Ball' Expectation: Being asked for definitive predictions about the future and then being held accountable for unforeseen 'black swan' events.
  • Weaponised Intelligence: Seeing your objective analysis selectively used by stakeholders to justify their pre-existing agenda or win a political battle.
  • The Action-Insight Gap: Delivering a critical, well-researched insight only to see it languish for months due to organisational inertia or risk aversion.
  • Quantifying Prevention: The immense difficulty of proving the ROI of a bad decision that was *avoided* because of your team's intelligence.
  • Last-Minute Fire Drills: The 'Can you get me everything on Company X by tomorrow morning?' request from an executive that derails the team's entire strategic work plan.
  • Data Ambiguity: The most critical strategic questions invariably rely on the least available, most incomplete, and often contradictory data.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, routine work schedule – priorities shift constantly.
  • The satisfaction of seeing every single piece of your work immediately implemented.
  • A role where you only deal with perfectly clean, structured data.
  • A low-pressure environment where mistakes have no real consequences.

6Who you work with

This role directly informs critical strategic decisions across product development, market entry, competitive positioning, and M&A screening. Your analysis helps leadership understand external risks and opportunities, shaping our long-term growth trajectory and market relevance. Get it right, and we make smart bets; get it wrong, and we could chase the wrong trends or miss crucial threats.

Inside the business
  • Head of Product
  • Head of Sales
  • CFO and Finance Leadership
  • Marketing Leadership
  • Executive Leadership Team
Outside the business
  • Market research vendors
  • Industry analysts
  • Expert network consultants

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 5 years of experience in an intelligence, strategy, or highly analytical role within a corporate or consulting environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage and deliver complex analytical projects from start to finish.
  • Strong track record of presenting insights to mid-to-senior level stakeholders and influencing decisions.
  • Proven experience mentoring junior analysts or team members, even if informally.
  • Solid understanding of core business strategy concepts and frameworks (e.g., Porter's Five Forces, SWOT, Ansoff Matrix).
  • Expert proficiency in at least one data visualisation tool (Tableau or Power BI) and Advanced Excel.
  • Intermediate to Advanced SQL skills for data extraction and manipulation.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Data Storytelling & Visualisation

As AI handles more of the raw data processing, your value shifts even more to interpretation and communication. Simply showing a chart isn't enough; you'll need to craft compelling visual narratives that immediately convey the 'so what' to time-poor executives. This is becoming important within the next 12 months.

Cognitive Load Reduction · Narrative Flow in Dashboards · Emotional Resonance in Data · Advanced Chart Types & Use Cases · Accessibility in Visualisation

  • This month: Pick one of your existing reports and completely redesign it, focusing purely on the 'story' you want to tell. Get feedback from a non-analyst.
  • Next quarter: Take an online course on advanced data visualisation principles (e.g., from Edward Tufte or Stephen Few's work).
  • Month 4-6: Experiment with new visualisation tools or libraries (e.g., D3.js if you're into coding, or advanced features in Tableau/Power BI) to push your boundaries.
  • Month 7-9: Start a 'visualisation critique' session with your peers, regularly reviewing and improving each other's work.

Quick win: Before your next presentation, spend an extra 30 minutes simplifying each slide. Remove any unnecessary text or chart elements. Ask yourself: 'What's the one thing I want them to remember from this slide?'

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attend industry conferences (e.g., SCIP International Conference, Gartner Data & Analytics Summit) to stay abreast of intelligence best practices and emerging technologies.
  • Participate in online courses or workshops focused on advanced data storytelling, executive communication, or specific analytical tools (e.g., Python for data analysis).
  • Engage with expert networks (e.g., GLG, AlphaSights) not just for research, but to understand how they operate and to build your own network of industry contacts.
  • Read widely on business strategy, economics, and cognitive psychology to deepen your understanding of decision-making and market dynamics.
  • Seek out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues, as teaching is often the best way to solidify your own understanding and leadership skills.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering & LLM Integration

Honestly, competitors are already using tools like ChatGPT and Claude to draft reports in 10 minutes that used to take 2 hours. Analysts who figure this out will outproduce their peers by a mile. It's not just a nice-to-have; it's becoming critical within the next 6 months.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Senior Intelligence Analyst is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a big chunk of intelligence work can be tedious: sifting through mountains of data, summarising reports, and drafting initial analyses. But what if you could offload a significant portion of that to AI, freeing you up for the truly strategic, high-impact work?

This role isn't about replacing your brain; it's about augmenting it. We're building an AI-first culture where you'll use cutting-edge tools to automate the grunt work, allowing you to focus on the 'human' parts of the job: critical thinking, narrative building, and influencing decisions. Think of AI as your personal research assistant, tirelessly sifting through information so you don't have to.

Automated Competitor Monitoring

Imagine an AI agent constantly scanning regulatory filings, patent databases, job postings, and news for keywords related to your Key Intelligence Questions. It delivers a summarised daily briefing, flagging only the most critical signals you need to see. You'll save hours every week that used to be spent trawling through feeds.

Accelerated Transcript Analysis

Got dozens of expert interview or earnings call transcripts? Feed them into an LLM and ask it to 'identify the top 5 strategic priorities mentioned' or 'summarise the sentiment regarding supply chain issues'. What used to take days of manual reading can now be done in minutes, letting you focus on the 'so what' rather than the 'what happened'.

Instant M&A Target Pre-Briefing

Need a quick overview of a potential acquisition target before a meeting? Use an AI tool to generate an instant 'tearsheet' – a concise summary of their latest financials, leadership changes, and strategic direction – all pulled from public sources. Get briefed in minutes, not hours.

Stakeholder-Tuned Drafts

You've got the insights, now you need to communicate them effectively. Provide an LLM with your key findings and a persona (e.g., 'a skeptical CFO focused on ROI'). Ask it to write a first draft of an executive summary tailored to that persona's likely questions and concerns. It's like having a ghostwriter who understands your audience.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Senior Intelligence Analyst, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 8 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Senior Intelligence Analyst: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.
