1What this role really is

This isn't just about crunching numbers; it's about figuring out where our next big opportunity lies. You'll be the person digging into markets, competitors, and our own data to spot patterns and suggest where we should focus our efforts to grow. Think of it as being a detective for business expansion, but with spreadsheets and presentations instead of a magnifying glass. You'll often be working on specific parts of bigger strategic puzzles, making sure your piece of the analysis is spot on.

2What you'd actually use

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

TableauIntermediate

Building standard dashboards from clean data sources, interpreting existing reports, and creating visualisations for your analyses. You'll be making data pretty and understandable.

SQL (PostgreSQL)Basic

Writing `SELECT`, `WHERE`, and `JOIN` queries to pull specific datasets from our databases. You'll be getting the raw ingredients for your analysis.

Running pre-written scripts for data manipulation or statistical analysis when Excel just isn't cutting it. You won't be writing complex scripts from scratch, but you'll know how to use them.

SalesforceIntermediate

Building standard reports and dashboards on sales pipeline, win/loss rates, and sales activity to get a pulse on our revenue-generating efforts.

AnaplanBasic

Inputting data and running scenarios within existing financial models. You'll be a user, not necessarily a builder, of the core strategic model.

PitchBookIntermediate

Pulling company profiles, funding rounds, and basic competitor lists to inform your market and competitive analyses.

MiroIntermediate

Contributing to existing strategy boards, mapping out flows, and organising ideas during collaborative brainstorming sessions. It's a key tool for visual collaboration.

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
Data Source SelectionFollows explicit instructions from supervisor; asks before using new sources.Chooses appropriate internal data sources for routine analysis; consults manager for external data or novel sources.Defines preferred data sources for entire workstreams; vets new external data providers.
Analytical MethodologyApplies specified methodology; asks for guidance on variations.Selects and applies standard analytical methodologies independently; proposes adaptations for slightly varied problems, with manager input.Designs and implements new analytical methodologies for complex problems; makes recommendations on best practices.
Project Prioritisation (within your scope)Priorities set by supervisor; executes tasks as assigned.Manages own task prioritisation within a defined project; flags potential conflicts or missed deadlines to manager.Negotiates project priorities with stakeholders; re-allocates resources within their workstream to meet objectives.
Recommendations to StakeholdersContributes data to recommendations drafted by supervisor.Drafts initial recommendations for specific project segments, reviewed by manager before wider sharing.Presents and defends strategic recommendations directly to cross-functional leads and senior management.

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.

Data Accuracy
The precision and correctness of the data you pull and the calculations you make in your analyses.
Target · <2% error rate in data pulls and calculations

You're asked to pull customer churn data for Q2. If your report shows 10% churn but a later audit finds it was actually 12% due to a mis-filtered dataset, that's an error. We're aiming for your numbers to be spot on, or very, very close.

On-Time Delivery
Completing your analytical tasks and project segments by the agreed-upon deadlines.
Target · 95% of analysis requests completed by deadline

If you've committed to delivering a competitor deep-dive presentation by Friday, we expect it in your manager's inbox on Friday. Missing deadlines consistently means other teams can't do their jobs.

Model Integrity
Ensuring any financial or business models you build or contribute to are free of errors and that their assumptions are clearly laid out and justified.
Target · Financial models are error-free and assumptions are clearly documented

You build a unit economics model for a new product. It needs to calculate LTV and CAC correctly, and every assumption (like average contract value or churn rate) should be clearly stated and sourced, not just pulled out of thin air.

Insight Actionability
How often your specific analytical findings lead to clear, practical next steps or decisions by the teams you're supporting.
Target · At least 60% of your key insights lead to a documented action or decision

Your analysis shows a specific market segment is underserved. If Product then decides to explore a feature for that segment, or Sales targets them with a new message, that's a win. We want your work to move the needle, not just sit in a deck.

Clarity of Communication
How effectively you present complex data and insights, making them easy for non-technical audiences to understand and act on.
  • Your presentations are clear and concise
  • stakeholders often say 'that makes sense' or 'I understand the recommendation'. You explain your methodology without getting bogged down in jargon. People don't need to ask for clarification repeatedly.
Collaboration & Peer Feedback
How well you work with other teams and how positively your colleagues perceive your contributions and willingness to help.
  • You're seen as a helpful team member
  • Product or Sales folks proactively reach out to you for input. Your manager and peers give positive feedback on your collaborative behaviour. You offer to help junior analysts when they're stuck.
Proactive Problem Identification
Your ability to spot potential issues or opportunities in data or market trends before being explicitly asked to investigate them.
  • You bring up a potential dip in a key metric before your manager notices it. You suggest a new angle for competitor analysis that wasn't on the original brief. You flag a data quality issue that could impact future reports.
Adaptability to Change
How you handle shifting priorities, new information, or changes to project scope without getting flustered.
  • When a project's direction changes, you quickly re-scope your work rather than sticking rigidly to the old plan. You take feedback on your analysis and adjust it without taking it personally. You're comfortable with the 'urgent' request that messes up your day.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You'll spend hours happily digging through datasets, trying to figure out why a particular trend is happening or how different variables connect. It's like being given a really tough Sudoku every day, but with real business impact.

Being asked to figure out why customer acquisition costs have suddenly spiked in a particular region, requiring you to pull data from multiple sources and interview local sales teams.

Seeing Your Work Make a Difference

You get a real buzz from knowing your analysis directly contributed to a decision that changed the company's direction or improved a product. You want your work to have tangible outcomes, not just sit in a folder.

Your market sizing analysis helps the Product team decide to build a new feature, and you see that feature launch and start generating revenue months later.

Continuous Learning & Growth

You're always keen to pick up a new analytical technique, learn about a different market, or understand a new business model. The idea of staying stagnant in your knowledge is a real turn-off.

Taking the initiative to learn a new SQL function to extract data more efficiently, or researching a new competitive intelligence tool to improve your market analysis.

What frustrates people
  • Spending 40% of your time cleaning up messy, inconsistent data from different systems.
  • Getting an 'urgent' request on a Thursday that completely derails your plans, only for it to be deprioritised on Friday.
  • Developing a solid analysis, only to have stakeholders change the core question halfway through.
  • The 'ivory tower' stigma – fighting the perception that your work isn't connected to the day-to-day realities of the business.
  • Building a beautiful model that never gets fully deployed because the business moved on or lost interest.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, unchanging routine – expect constant shifts in focus.
  • Complete autonomy over strategic direction – you'll contribute, but not dictate.
  • Immediate, always visible impact for every single piece of work you do.
  • A role where you only deal with clean, perfectly structured data.

6Who you work with

Your work directly feeds into the strategic planning process, helping us decide where to put our bets. You'll influence specific product roadmaps, sales strategies, and market entry plans. Essentially, you're giving the business the data-backed clarity it needs to make confident moves, which directly impacts our revenue growth and market position.

Inside the business
  • Your Manager (Lead Growth Strategist)
  • Product Management (for new feature ideas and market fit)
  • Sales Leadership (for understanding market needs and GTM strategies)
  • Marketing Team (for market positioning and customer insights)
  • Finance Team (for business case validation and financial modelling inputs)
Outside the business
  • Market Research Vendors (for data and reports)
  • Industry Analysts (for market trends and competitive intel)

7What you need before you start

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

  • A proven track record of 2-5 years in an analytical, business intelligence, or junior strategy role, where you regularly worked with complex datasets.
  • Solid experience in building clear, data-driven presentations that tell a story, not just dump numbers.
  • Demonstrable experience with at least one data visualisation tool (like Tableau) and one data querying language (like SQL).
  • A genuine curiosity about how businesses grow and a knack for spotting opportunities in the details.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced SQL for Data Preparation

As our datasets grow and become more complex, you'll need to do more sophisticated data cleaning and transformation directly in SQL. This saves time and ensures consistency before you even pull data into other tools.

Window Functions · Common Table Expressions (CTEs) · Performance Optimisation

  • This month: Focus on mastering CTEs in your daily SQL queries. Challenge yourself to refactor existing queries using them.
  • Month 2: Take an online course or work through a tutorial specifically on SQL window functions and practice them on our internal data.
  • Month 3: Ask our data engineering team for tips on writing more performant SQL queries and apply their advice to your own work.

Quick win: Next time you have a complex SQL query, try to break it down into smaller, named steps using CTEs. It'll make it much easier to read and debug.

Intermediate Python for Statistical Analysis

While you currently run pre-written scripts, the ability to independently write and modify Python code for more complex statistical analysis (beyond what Excel can easily do) will become a huge differentiator. It allows for more nuanced insights and automation.

Pandas for Data Manipulation · Basic Statistical Modelling · Data Visualisation with Matplotlib/Seaborn

  • This month: Complete a beginner-level Python for Data Analysis course focusing on pandas.
  • Month 2: Pick a small, recurring analytical task you currently do in Excel and try to automate it in Python.
  • Month 3: Work with a senior analyst to get feedback on your Python code and learn best practices for data analysis scripts.
  • Month 4: Start experimenting with basic statistical tests in Python to validate your findings from other tools.

Quick win: Find a simple data cleaning task you do regularly in Excel and try to replicate it using pandas in Python. It's a great way to start.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly reading industry publications (e.g., Harvard Business Review, McKinsey Quarterly) and tech blogs to stay on top of market trends and strategic thinking.
  • Attending webinars or virtual conferences on business strategy, data analytics, or specific industry sectors (like FinTech).
  • Participating in online courses on advanced SQL, Python for data analysis, or data storytelling to continuously sharpen your technical and communication skills.
  • Networking with other strategists or analysts, both internally and externally, to share ideas and learn from their experiences.

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 (for analysis)

Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT or Claude are changing how quickly we can process information and draft content. Competitors are already using them to summarise market research or draft initial reports in minutes, not hours. If you can use these effectively, you'll be far more productive.

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 Growth Strategist 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:

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 on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a lot of strategy work involves sifting through mountains of data, compiling reports, and drafting initial analyses. What if you could get a significant chunk of that done faster, freeing you up for the really interesting, high-impact thinking? That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about AI replacing you; we're talking about it being your incredibly efficient assistant. For a Growth Strategist, this means less time on the grunt work and more time on the 'aha!' moments. Imagine having more headspace to connect the dots, challenge assumptions, and truly innovate.

Automated Competitor Monitoring

Imagine an AI agent constantly scanning the market for you. It can scrape competitor press releases, earnings call transcripts, and product updates. Then, it summarises all that intel into a concise weekly briefing, delivered straight to your inbox. No more manual digging, just instant insights.

Accelerated Market Research

Forget spending days manually poring over customer reviews or survey responses. AI tools can analyse and synthesise thousands of data points—customer feedback, social media comments, industry reports—to quickly identify emerging trends, pain points, and untapped opportunities. You get the insights in minutes, not days.

First-Draft Narrative Generation

Once you've done your analysis and have your key data points, you can feed them into a large language model (LLM). It'll generate a coherent first draft of your PowerPoint narrative or memo. This means you spend your valuable time refining the strategic message and adding your unique perspective, rather than staring at a blank page.

Intelligent Data Anomaly Detection

Set up AI-powered monitoring on your key performance dashboards (like those in Tableau). These tools can automatically flag statistically significant anomalies in business metrics—a sudden dip in conversion, an unexpected spike in churn. This lets you investigate issues proactively, often before anyone else even notices.

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 Growth Strategist, 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 1 national skill standard. 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 Growth Strategist: 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.
