1What this role really is

This isn't just about drawing pretty process maps; it's about getting stuck into our trickiest business problems, figuring out why things are broken, and then designing a better way. You'll be the person who helps us fundamentally rethink how we operate across the business, making things faster, cheaper, or simply better for our customers and colleagues. It's a hands-on role where your designs actually get built, not just gather dust.

2What you'd actually use

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

Celonis / Signavio (Process Mining & Modeling)Expert

Leading process discovery, building complex analyses (e.g., conformance checking), and designing 'to-be' models. You'll also be training others on how to use these tools effectively.

Miro / Mural (Collaboration & Whiteboarding)Expert

Designing and leading complex, multi-day strategic workshops. You'll create custom templates and frameworks for the team and use them to facilitate executive-level alignment sessions.

Tableau / Power BI (Data Visualisation)Advanced

Connecting to multiple, potentially messy data sources. You'll create interactive dashboards to model the impact of proposed changes and tell a compelling data story to stakeholders.

Advanced Excel (Power Query, VBA, Financial Modeling)Expert

Writing VBA to automate reporting and building complex financial models to quantify the business case for redesign (cost savings, revenue uplift). You'll be the go-to person for complex spreadsheet analysis.

Anaplan / Pigment (Strategic & Financial Planning)Advanced

Building and connecting models to simulate the P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet impact of different transformation scenarios. You'll be using these to show the financial implications of your designs.

LeanIX / Orbus iServer (Enterprise Architecture)Intermediate

Mapping 'to-be' processes to the application and technology landscape, identifying integration needs and system gaps. You'll use these to ensure your designs are technically feasible and don't create future 'organisational debt'.

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.

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.

Project Delivery Rate
Percentage of assigned business redesign projects delivered on time and within the agreed scope and budget.
Target · 90% of projects

You're leading three redesign projects this quarter. Two are on track, one is slightly delayed due to an unforeseen tech issue, but you've proactively communicated the revised timeline and impact to stakeholders.

Identified & Validated Savings
Quantifiable efficiency savings or revenue uplift identified in your business cases and subsequently validated post-implementation.
Target · £500,000+ in annualised savings per major project

Your redesign of the customer onboarding process resulted in a business case showing £750K in annual operational savings, which was validated by Finance six months after go-live.

Process Cycle Time Reduction
The measured percentage reduction in the end-to-end time taken to complete a redesigned process, compared to the 'as-is' baseline.
Target · 20%+ reduction for key processes

The 'Order-to-Cash' process, which used to take 15 days, now completes in 11 days, thanks to your redesign efforts—that's a 26% reduction.

Mentee Development & Progression
The growth and success of junior analysts you're mentoring, evidenced by their performance and career progression.
Target · At least one L1/L2 mentee promoted or receiving a top performance rating annually

Your mentee, a Business Process Analyst, was promoted to Business Redesign Consultant this year, with their manager specifically citing your guidance and support.

Stakeholder Buy-in & Collaboration
How effectively you get key business leaders and teams on board with your proposed changes, fostering a collaborative environment rather than resistance.
  • You're proactively sought out for input on strategic initiatives. Your proposed solutions are adopted without major resistance or passive-aggressive pushback. People actually *want* to work with you on change projects. Feedback from project sponsors consistently highlights your ability to build consensus.
Solution Quality & Practicality
The extent to which your 'to-be' designs are not just theoretically sound but genuinely practical, implementable, and sustainable in the real world.
  • Your designs require minimal rework post-implementation. The operational teams find your solutions easy to follow and adopt. You've thought through the edge cases, not just the 'happy path'. Feedback from implementation teams confirms your designs are robust.
Knowledge Transfer & Documentation
How well you ensure that the knowledge gained during redesign projects is captured, shared, and understood across the team and with operational stakeholders.
  • Junior team members can easily pick up and understand your project documentation. Your process maps and design documents are clear, concise, and actually used by others. You actively contribute to and improve our internal knowledge base, making it easier for everyone to learn.
Proactive Problem Solving
Your ability to anticipate potential roadblocks, identify issues early, and propose effective solutions before they become major problems.
  • You're often the first to spot a potential issue in a project plan or design. You come to your manager with solutions, not just problems. You've successfully navigated complex inter-departmental conflicts without needing significant intervention from senior leadership.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You love digging into a convoluted process, unpicking all the dependencies, and figuring out how the pieces *should* fit together. The messier the problem, the more engaged you are.

Spending an afternoon mapping out a tricky cross-departmental workflow, identifying all the hand-offs and pain points, and feeling a real sense of accomplishment when you finally see a clear 'to-be' state emerge.

Seeing Tangible Impact

You're not content with just making recommendations; you want to see your designs actually implemented and delivering real value. The satisfaction comes from seeing the numbers improve or hearing positive feedback from those using the new process.

Getting an email from an operational team thanking you because the new process you designed has cut their workload by 15% and reduced errors.

Making Things Better for People

You're driven by the idea of improving the working lives of your colleagues and making things smoother for customers. You get a kick out of removing frustrations and inefficiencies that impact daily work.

Designing a new system that eliminates a tedious, manual data entry step for hundreds of employees, knowing you've freed them up for more valuable work.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Watermelon Project': Everything looks green on the status reports until the last minute when it suddenly turns red and explodes.
  • Passive-Aggressive Resistance: Stakeholders who agree to everything in your workshop and then send emails to their VP explaining why your plan will never work.
  • Discovering the 'Spreadsheet of Truth': Finding the critical, undocumented Excel sheet on someone's hard drive that runs an entire department, derailing your new system design.
  • The Re-Org Shuffle: Your key project sponsor gets moved to another division halfway through the project, and their replacement wants to 're-evaluate all current initiatives.'
  • 'Transformation' without Teeth: Being asked to lead a major transformation initiative but being given no budget, no dedicated resources, and no authority to make difficult decisions.
  • The Legacy Tech Graveyard: Your elegant 'to-be' process design is technically impossible because it relies on two legacy systems that can't communicate and the vendor went out of business in 2008.
  • Being the Scapegoat: When the messy reality of implementation hits and things break, everyone forgets the broken 'as-is' process and blames the new design (and you).
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, unchanging work routine – every project brings new challenges and new people.
  • Full control over implementation – you're influencing, not dictating, to operational teams.
  • Guaranteed immediate gratification – some changes take months or even years to fully embed.
  • A quiet, solitary work environment – you'll be interacting with people constantly.

6Who you work with

You'll directly influence the efficiency and effectiveness of core business processes, impacting our P&L through cost savings and revenue uplift, and improving customer and employee experience. Your work directly supports the strategic objectives of the organisation, helping us stay competitive and agile.

Inside the business
  • Heads of Operations
  • Product Managers
  • Finance Business Partners
  • IT Delivery Leads
  • Legal & Compliance Teams
Outside the business
  • Key Vendors (e.g., software providers)
  • Consulting Partners (occasionally)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience in leading business process improvement or re-engineering projects in a complex organisational setting.
  • Demonstrable ability to build detailed business cases and quantify financial benefits of process changes.
  • Experience in facilitating workshops and engaging diverse stakeholder groups, including senior management.
  • A strong track record of mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to team development.
  • Proficiency in at least one process mining tool (e.g., Celonis, Signavio) and one data visualisation tool (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Process Mining & Conformance

As our process mining capabilities mature, you'll need to move beyond basic 'as-is' discovery. The focus will shift to advanced conformance checking (how well processes follow rules), predictive analytics on process flows, and automated root cause analysis.

Process Drift Detection · Automated Root Cause Identification · Predictive Process Monitoring

  • This month: Explore advanced features in Celonis/Signavio, specifically around conformance and variant analysis.
  • Next quarter: Take an advanced certification course in your primary process mining tool.
  • Within 6 months: Lead a project focused solely on using process mining for compliance auditing or performance prediction.
  • Within 12 months: Train junior analysts on advanced process mining techniques.

Quick win: Set up a new dashboard in Celonis to track conformance to a specific 'to-be' process you've designed. See where the real-world deviations are happening.

Integrated Enterprise Architecture Modelling

Our business redesigns can't happen in a vacuum. You'll need to deeply understand how your process changes impact the underlying application, data, and technology architecture. This means becoming more proficient in tools that link business capabilities to IT assets.

Business Capability Mapping · Application Portfolio Management · Data Flow Diagramming

  • This month: Spend time with our Enterprise Architecture team, understanding how they use LeanIX/Orbus iServer.
  • Next quarter: Take an introductory course on TOGAF or Archimate (common EA frameworks).
  • Within 6 months: For every 'to-be' process, ensure you've mapped its impact on the key applications and data flows.
  • Within 12 months: Proactively identify potential architectural debt created by proposed process changes and suggest alternatives.

Quick win: For your next project, make sure you're not just mapping the process, but also explicitly listing the applications and data sources involved at each step. It's a small step, but it builds the habit.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry conferences on business transformation or process excellence (e.g., OpEx Week, Process Mining Camp).
  • Participating in internal cross-functional projects that stretch your skills beyond your core responsibilities.
  • Taking advanced courses on specific tools (e.g., advanced Celonis analytics, Tableau certification).
  • Reading relevant books and articles on organisational change, behavioural economics, and future-of-work trends.
  • Seeking out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues and present your work to broader audiences.

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: AI-driven Process Optimisation

AI and machine learning are rapidly changing how we identify inefficiencies and design solutions. Competitors are already using AI to predict bottlenecks, automate tasks, and even suggest 'to-be' process variations. If you don't grasp this, you'll be left behind.

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

AI and machine learning are rapidly changing how we identify inefficiencies and design solutions. Competitors are already using AI to predict bottlenecks, automate tasks, and even suggest 'to-be' process variations. If you don't grasp this, you'll be left behind.

  • Predictive Process Analytics
  • Generative AI for Process Design
  • Intelligent Automation (RPA + AI)
  • Ethical AI in Process Design

Digital Twin Simulation & Optimisation

The ability to create a 'digital twin' of a business process or even an entire operating model allows us to simulate changes, test scenarios, and predict outcomes *before* we implement anything in the real world. This drastically reduces risk and speeds up decision-making.

  • Process Simulation Modelling
  • Discrete Event Simulation
  • Real-time Data Integration
  • Scenario Planning with Digital Twins

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 Business Redesign Director 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.

  1. Lead Business Redesign Architect (L4)

    3-5 years

    You'll move from leading individual projects to architecting large, complex transformation programmes. This means defining the overall approach, managing multiple workstreams, and potentially leading a small team of consultants.

    • Enterprise-level TOM Design: Architecting operating models for entire business units or the enterprise.

    • Vendor Management: Selecting and managing external consulting partners or technology vendors.
    • Transformation Roadmap Definition: Building multi-year transformation roadmaps.
Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a big chunk of business redesign work involves sifting through mountains of information, mapping out tedious 'as-is' processes, and drafting endless communications. What if you could cut that time in half? We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you superpowers.

Our AI Hub is designed to take the grunt work out of your day, freeing you up to do what you do best: strategic thinking, complex problem-solving, and actually getting people to buy into change. Imagine spending less time on manual data collection and more time on high-value design and influence.

Automated Process Discovery

Use AI-powered process mining tools like Celonis to automatically generate accurate 'as-is' process maps directly from system event logs. This means bypassing weeks of manual interviews and workshops, giving you a data-driven baseline in a fraction of the time.

Friction Point Analysis

Feed thousands of customer support tickets, employee survey comments, and call transcripts into an NLP model. It'll instantly identify and categorise the biggest points of friction and frustration in current processes, giving you a clear roadmap of where to focus your redesign efforts.

Best-Practice Research

Deploy an AI agent to research and synthesise best-in-class Target Operating Models, benchmarks, and case studies for a specific function. Instead of days trawling the internet, you'll get a concise summary of, say, 'three different TOMs for a digital-first HR function' in minutes.

Change Management Comms

Use a GenAI assistant to create the first draft of all your change management communications—stakeholder updates, training guides, FAQs, and even presentation outlines. Just give it the approved 'to-be' process design and a defined audience persona, and watch it work its magic.

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 Business Redesign Director, 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 7 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 Business Redesign Director: 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.
