We see you

You wonder if AI will overshadow your role, but deep down, you know that understanding human complexities can't be automated. There's an art to seeing the bigger picture that AI just can't replicate.

1What this role really is

This role is all about getting stuck into how our business actually works, spotting where things are going wrong, and figuring out how to make them better. You'll be the person on the ground, mapping out messy 'as-is' processes and helping design cleaner, more efficient 'to-be' versions. It's not just about drawing diagrams; it's about making a tangible difference to how our teams operate every single day. You'll be working with different departments, trying to understand their world and then helping them see a clearer, faster path forward. Think of yourself as a detective and a problem-solver, all rolled into one.

2A day in the life

Not a job advert. A real day, built from what this role actually holds.

08:45
You start your day reviewing the 'as-is' process maps you created yesterday, ensuring every detail is captured accurately before your meeting.
11:00
During a breakout session, you engage with an operational team, drawing out their insights to refine your process improvement proposals.
14:30
You dive into spreadsheets, analysing error rates and cycle times, looking for patterns that could lead to efficiency gains.
16:00
With a junior analyst at your side, you review their initial process map, offering guidance and encouragement as they hone their skills.

3What you'd actually use

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

Process Mining & Modelling (Celonis, Signavio, ARIS)Intermediate

Connecting to data sources, building basic process explorers to visualise 'as-is' flows, and documenting current state processes with guidance.

Collaboration & Whiteboarding (Miro, Mural)Intermediate

Setting up virtual whiteboards from templates, facilitating small breakout sessions during online workshops, and capturing ideas collaboratively.

Data Visualisation (Tableau, Power BI)Intermediate

Building dashboards from clean data sets to track project KPIs, visualise process metrics (e.g., cycle times), and present findings clearly.

Advanced Excel (Power Query, VBA, Financial Modelling)Advanced

Using Power Query for data cleaning and transformation, building complex pivot tables and charts for analysis, and debugging simple macros to automate tasks.

Strategic & Financial Planning (Anaplan, Pigment)Basic

Navigating existing models to pull relevant data for analysis and understanding how redesign initiatives might impact the corporate financial plan.

Enterprise Architecture (LeanIX, Orbus iServer)Awareness

Knowing how to find information in the EA repository to see which applications support a given process or business capability.

4What 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
Process Design Changes (within assigned workstream)Propose changes, seek full approval from supervisor.Propose and make routine changes within agreed parameters; consult manager for significant deviations.Lead design decisions, get sign-off from business owners, inform Director.
Data Analysis MethodologyFollow established methodologies; seek guidance for any variations.Choose appropriate methodology for routine problems; consult manager for novel data challenges.Define and refine methodologies for complex analysis; set standards for the team.
Project Timeline Adjustments (minor)Inform supervisor immediately of any potential delays.Adjust minor task-level timelines (e.g., shifting a meeting by a day) within your workstream; inform manager.Negotiate and agree on workstream timeline adjustments with stakeholders; inform Director.

5How 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.

Process Documentation Completion Rate
The percentage of assigned 'as-is' and 'to-be' process maps completed and signed off within agreed project timelines.
Target · 95%+ on-time completion

If you're given 5 sub-processes to map for the Q2 project, you'd aim to have 5 maps completed and validated by the relevant business owners by the deadline.

Data Accuracy & Consistency
The error rate in the data you collect and use for baseline analysis, process metrics (like cycle times), and business case inputs.
Target · <2% error rate in key data points

When calculating the average time for a customer complaint resolution, your data should accurately reflect the system logs, not have manual transcription errors or missing entries.

Identified Waste & Inefficiency (Value Stream)
The number or estimated value of non-value-added steps, bottlenecks, or rework loops you identify within the processes you analyse.
Target · Identify 3-5 significant improvement opportunities per major process analysed

During the invoice processing analysis, you identify three steps where the invoice sits idle for more than 2 days, representing £10K in potential annual savings from reduced processing time.

Stakeholder Feedback Score (Peer & Internal Client)
Feedback from your project manager, cross-functional peers, and the operational teams you're working with on your collaboration, communication, and contribution.
Target · Average score of 4 out of 5 on project feedback forms

After a workshop, the Head of Sales Operations comments that your facilitation was clear and you really helped their team articulate their pain points, leading to a high feedback score.

Problem Identification & Solution Proposal
Your ability to not just spot a problem, but to dig into its root cause and then come up with practical, well-reasoned suggestions for how to fix it. We're looking for more than just 'this is broken'; we want 'this is broken because X, and here are two ways we could fix it'.
  • You're regularly bringing forward issues your manager hadn't seen yet. Your recommendations are considered viable and often adopted. You're able to articulate the 'why' behind a problem, not just the 'what'.
Collaboration Effectiveness & Team Contribution
How well you work with others, both within the Corporate Strategy team and with the business units you're supporting. This means being a good listener, sharing your insights clearly, and being easy to work with, even when things get a bit stressful.
  • Peers actively seek your input on their work. Business stakeholders feel heard and understood during workshops you run. You contribute constructively to team discussions and help unstick others when they're stuck.
Adaptability & Resilience to Change
Let's be real, projects rarely go exactly to plan. This metric is about how you handle it when requirements shift, data is messier than expected, or a key stakeholder changes their mind. It's about rolling with the punches and staying focused on the end goal.
  • You quickly adjust your approach when new information comes to light without getting flustered. You maintain a positive attitude even when faced with setbacks or resistance. You can pivot your analysis or documentation without significant rework delays.
Quality of Deliverables & Attention to Detail
The accuracy, clarity, and completeness of your outputs—whether it's a process map, a data analysis, or a presentation. We need you to catch the small errors before they become big problems and present information in a way that's easy for anyone to understand.
  • Your documents rarely need significant edits from your manager for factual errors or clarity. Your data visualisations are easy to interpret and tell a clear story. You consistently meet internal quality standards for documentation and analysis.

6Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You get a real buzz from taking a tangled, inefficient process, breaking it down, and figuring out how all the pieces *should* fit together. It's like a giant Rubik's Cube for the business.

Spending hours digging through system logs and interviewing users to uncover why a customer onboarding process takes 3 weeks instead of 3 days, and then sketching out a faster, cleaner path.

Making a Tangible Difference

You want to see your work actually change things for the better. It's not enough to produce a report; you want to see your recommendations implemented and making a real impact on how people work.

Hearing from the Operations team that the new process you helped design has cut their manual data entry by 50%, freeing them up for more valuable work.

Continuous Learning & Growth

You're always keen to learn new methodologies, tools, and ways of thinking about business problems. You enjoy diving into different parts of the business and understanding how they tick.

Volunteering to learn a new process mining tool or taking an online course in advanced Lean Six Sigma techniques to expand your toolkit.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Watermelon Project': Everything looks green on the status reports until the last minute when it suddenly turns red and explodes. You're left trying to figure out what went wrong.
  • Passive-Aggressive Resistance: Stakeholders who nod and agree to everything in your workshop, then send emails to their manager explaining why your plan will never work.
  • Discovering the 'Spreadsheet of Truth': Finding the critical, undocumented Excel sheet on someone's hard drive that's actually running an entire department, completely derailing your new system design.
  • The Re-Org Shuffle: Your key business contact gets moved to another division halfway through your project, and their replacement wants to 're-evaluate all current initiatives' (read: start from scratch).
  • Being the Scapegoat: When the messy reality of implementation hits and things break, everyone conveniently forgets the broken 'as-is' process and blames the new design (and, by extension, you).
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, unchanging daily routine.
  • Direct people management responsibilities (at this level).
  • The sole authority to make major strategic decisions for the business.
  • A guarantee that every single recommendation you make will be implemented.

7Who you work with

Your work directly contributes to the efficiency and effectiveness of our core business processes. Every process you help streamline means less waste, fewer errors, and a better experience for both our employees and our customers. You're essentially helping to build the operational backbone that supports our company's growth and strategic goals. Get it right, and you're making life easier for hundreds of people. Get it wrong, and you could introduce new bottlenecks or create more work for everyone.

Inside the business
  • Your immediate project manager (Senior Consultant or Lead Architect)
  • Operational team leads (e.g., Head of Customer Service, Finance Operations Manager)
  • Cross-functional peers (e.g., Marketing specialists, Product Managers)
  • IT Business Partners (for system changes)
Outside the business
  • Software vendors (occasionally, for understanding tool capabilities)
  • External consulting partners (when we bring in extra hands for big programmes)

8What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (2-5 years) in a business analysis, process improvement, or junior consulting role, where you've actively mapped processes and analysed data.
  • Demonstrable experience with at least one process modelling tool (e.g., Visio, Lucidchart, or ideally Signavio/Celonis).
  • Strong analytical skills, including experience with data manipulation and visualisation in Excel or a BI tool.
  • A track record of working effectively in project-based environments, often with cross-functional teams.
  • The ability to communicate clearly and confidently with stakeholders at various levels, both verbally and in writing.

9What to practise next

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

Process Simulation & Digital Twin Concepts

Moving beyond static process maps, businesses are increasingly using simulation to test 'what if' scenarios and predict the impact of changes before they're implemented. Understanding this will be crucial for designing truly optimised 'to-be' processes.

Discrete Event Simulation (DES) principles · Input variables and probability distributions in p · Interpreting simulation outputs (e.g., bottleneck · Connecting process models to real-time data for 'd · Scenario planning and sensitivity analysis using s

  • This week: Read an introductory article or watch a video on process simulation using tools like Arena or AnyLogic (even if we don't use them directly).
  • This month: Identify one process you've mapped that would benefit most from simulation; outline the key variables you'd need to model.
  • Month 2: Explore basic simulation capabilities within our existing process mining tools (e.g., Celonis Process Simulation).
  • Month 3: Present a simple 'what if' scenario using a rudimentary simulation model (even if it's just in Excel) to your team.

Quick win: For your next process analysis, try to estimate the impact of a 10% increase in volume or a 20% reduction in processing time on a key bottleneck, even if it's just a back-of-the-envelope calculation.

Low-Code/No-Code Automation for Process Improvement

The ability to quickly build simple automation solutions (e.g., workflow apps, RPA bots) without needing full software development skills is becoming a game-changer. It means you can prototype and deliver quick wins much faster.

Understanding Robotic Process Automation (RPA) pri · Workflow automation platforms (e.g., Microsoft Pow · Citizen development best practices and governance · Identifying suitable processes for automation (rep · Integrating low-code apps with existing systems vi

  • This week: Explore Microsoft Power Automate or a similar tool; try to automate a simple personal task (e.g., saving email attachments).
  • This month: Identify a small, repetitive task within one of our business processes that could be automated with a low-code tool.
  • Month 2: Build a simple proof-of-concept automation for that task and demonstrate it to your team.
  • Month 3: Document the potential time savings and benefits of your low-code automation for a small business problem.

Quick win: Look for any repetitive data entry or copy-pasting tasks you do regularly. Can you find a free online tool or a simple Excel macro to automate just one step?

10Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attend industry webinars and conferences on process excellence, business transformation, or operational efficiency to stay current with best practices.
  • Participate in internal company training programmes related to our specific business units, products, or core systems to deepen your organisational knowledge.
  • Seek out opportunities to shadow colleagues in different departments to gain a first-hand understanding of their daily processes and challenges.
  • Engage in online courses or certifications in areas like advanced data visualisation, process mining software, or low-code automation platforms.

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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a big chunk of process redesign work can be pretty time-consuming. Think about all those hours spent manually mapping processes, sifting through documents for pain points, or drafting endless communication plans. What if you could cut that time in half, or even more?

We're not just talking about buzzwords here. We're actively integrating AI tools into how we do things in Corporate Strategy. As a Business Redesign Consultant, you'll have access to these tools from day one. This isn't about replacing your brain; it's about giving you superpowers to get through the tedious stuff faster, so you can focus on the really interesting, high-value problem-solving and creative design work.

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 you can bypass weeks of manual interviews and workshops just to figure out what's actually happening, letting you jump straight to analysis and design. It's like having a super-fast, tireless detective on your team.

Friction Point Analysis

Instead of manually reading through thousands of customer support tickets, employee survey comments, or call transcripts, feed them into an NLP (Natural Language Processing) model. This AI can instantly identify and categorise the biggest points of friction and frustration in current processes, giving you a clear, data-driven view of where the real problems lie, much faster than any human could.

Best-Practice Research Assistant

Deploy an AI agent to quickly research and synthesise best-in-class Target Operating Models, industry benchmarks, and case studies for a specific function (e.g., 'Summarise three different TOMs for a digital-first HR function'). This cuts down on hours of web searching and reading, giving you a concise summary of what good looks like, so you can focus on adapting it to our context.

Change Management Comms Drafts

Use a Generative AI assistant to create the first draft of all your change management communications – think stakeholder updates, training guides, FAQs, or even internal emails – based on the approved 'to-be' process design and a defined audience persona. You'll still need to review and refine, but it gets you 80% of the way there in minutes, not hours.

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 Business Redesign Consultant, 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.

Other roles in Corporate Strategy

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here – process analysis, strategic thinking, change management, and data-driven problem-solving – are highly transferable. You could move into operational leadership, product management, internal consulting roles in other industries (e.g., FinTech, Manufacturing), or even external management consulting.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.
