We see you

You sometimes wonder if AI will make your role less relevant, but you also see its potential to free you from the mundane tasks. It's a mix of excitement and trepidation as you navigate this evolving landscape.

1What this role really is

This role is all about getting your hands dirty with market data. You'll be the person digging through reports, tracking competitor moves, and helping the team build a clear picture of what's happening out there. It's a foundational role, meaning you'll learn the ropes from the ground up, working closely with more experienced analysts. Think of it as being the eyes and ears for the strategy team, gathering the raw ingredients for our big decisions.

2A day in the life

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

08:45
You grab your coffee and log into AlphaSense, setting up your first search of the day to catch any overnight industry news.
11:00
You update competitor profiles in Crayon, making sure the sales team has the freshest insights at their fingertips.
14:30
You clean up a messy CSV file using Python scripts, preparing the data for deeper analysis by your senior colleagues.
16:15
You draft a quick survey in SurveyMonkey, aiming to capture fresh customer feedback for the next strategy meeting.

3What you'd actually use

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

AlphaSense / Factiva (Market & News Aggregation)Basic

Running pre-set searches, exporting data, creating simple alerts for specific companies or keywords. Pulling specific company filings and earnings call transcripts on demand for senior analysts.

Crayon / Kompyte (Competitive Intelligence Platform)Basic

Monitoring assigned competitors for updates (e.g., pricing changes, new messaging), tagging updates, and populating fields in 'battlecards' for the sales team.

Tableau / Power BI (Data Visualization)Basic

Using existing templates to create standard weekly/monthly reports. Connecting to clean, pre-prepared data sources to refresh dashboards and extract basic data views.

Writing simple scripts to clean and merge CSVs. Using BeautifulSoup for basic web scraping of structured websites to collect publicly available data. Performing exploratory data analysis in a Jupyter Notebook under guidance.

Qualtrics / SurveyMonkey (Primary Research)Basic

Drafting simple surveys from a template, distributing them to target audiences, and exporting raw results for analysis by senior team members.

Confluence / Notion (Knowledge Management)Intermediate

Creating and updating pages with research findings, ensuring they follow existing information architecture and tagging conventions to keep our knowledge base organised.

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
Data Source SelectionFollows prescribed sources; escalates if a required source is unavailable or unclear.Selects appropriate sources for routine tasks; proposes new sources for manager approval.Evaluates and recommends new data sources; makes decisions on primary/secondary mix for projects.
Methodology for Data CollectionUses established procedures and templates; seeks guidance for deviations.Adapts standard approaches for varied situations; proposes minor methodological adjustments.Designs and implements new data collection methodologies for complex problems.
Prioritisation of TasksWorks on tasks assigned by manager; flags conflicting priorities to manager.Manages own task queue for assigned projects; negotiates minor priority shifts with stakeholders, informing manager.Sets priorities for own workstream; influences broader team priorities with manager's input.

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.

Data Accuracy
The percentage of market data points you collect or update that are free from errors.
Target · >98% accuracy

If you update 50 competitor pricing points, we'd expect no more than one to be incorrect when cross-referenced with the source.

Timeliness of Ad-Hoc Requests
How quickly you turn around specific data requests from the team.
Target · 95% of requests fulfilled within 48 hours

A senior analyst asks for Q3 earnings call transcripts for three specific competitors on Monday, you'd have them ready by Wednesday morning.

Competitor Profile Coverage
Ensuring all assigned Tier 1 competitor profiles are updated with the latest information.
Target · 100% of assigned profiles updated quarterly

You're responsible for keeping 5 competitor profiles current; all 5 should reflect recent product launches, funding rounds, or strategic shifts by the end of each quarter.

Proactive Information Sharing
How often you spot something interesting or important and share it with the team without being asked.
  • You'll be flagging articles, press releases, or social media chatter that seems relevant to our strategy. We'll see you posting in our team Slack channel with 'FYI, noticed X from Competitor Y'. It shows you're actually thinking about what you're seeing, not just ticking boxes.
Understanding of Market Context
Your growing ability to understand why certain pieces of information are important to our business.
  • When you present data, you're starting to connect the dots a bit: 'This new product launch from Competitor A seems to target our Z segment.' You're asking thoughtful questions about the 'why' behind the data, not just the 'what'. Your manager will notice you're picking up on the bigger picture.
Documentation Quality
How well you document your work, making it easy for others to understand and use.
  • Your notes on data sources are clear. Your process for pulling a specific report is written down so someone else could follow it. Essentially, if you were off sick, someone could easily pick up where you left off without having to guess. This is super important for an entry-level role.

6Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Learning and Growth

You'll be excited by the sheer volume of new information you're exposed to daily. You'll see every data request as a chance to learn about a new market, competitor, or analytical technique. You'll actively ask for feedback and seek out opportunities to expand your skills, perhaps by asking to shadow a senior analyst on a tricky project.

You might ask your manager, 'Could I spend an hour next week learning how to use the advanced search features in AlphaSense? I think it could help me find better data for X project.'

Contributing to the Big Picture

Even though you're at an entry level, you'll get a kick out of knowing that the data you're pulling is directly feeding into important strategic decisions. You'll feel a sense of purpose knowing your accurate work helps guide the company. You'll probably follow up on how your data was used, keen to see its impact.

After compiling a report on a new market, you'll be keen to hear how the strategy team used that information, perhaps asking, 'Did that data on Market X help with the expansion plan?'

Problem Solving (Small Scale)

You enjoy the puzzle of finding that elusive data point or figuring out why a report isn't running correctly. You're not afraid to troubleshoot a basic script or try different search terms to get the best results. You get satisfaction from making things work smoothly.

When a search query isn't giving relevant results, you'll tinker with the keywords or filters until you find a way to get the information needed, rather than just giving up.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with messy, inconsistent data from various sources.
  • Getting vague requests for 'some market data' without clear direction.
  • Spending time on a task only for priorities to shift and the work to be put on hold.
  • The sheer volume of information to sift through – it can feel like drinking from a firehose.
  • Knowing the exact data you need is locked behind an expensive paywall you can't access.
What this role does not give you
  • Significant independent strategic decision-making (not yet, anyway).
  • Direct management of people or large projects.
  • A quiet, predictable routine every single day (there will be fire drills).
  • The ability to immediately influence C-suite strategy (you'll be supporting those who do).

7Who you work with

Your work directly supports the Market Intelligence team's ability to provide timely and accurate insights. If you're on top of things, the team can spend more time analysing and less time hunting for data. If you miss a key piece of competitor news, it could mean we're a step behind in the market. Basically, you're helping us avoid nasty surprises and spot opportunities early.

Inside the business
  • Market Intelligence Analysts and Strategists
  • Product Managers (for competitor feature tracking)
  • Sales Operations (for competitor battlecard updates)
  • Marketing Team (for market trend data)
Outside the business
  • Market research vendors (occasionally, under supervision)
  • Industry news sources

8What you need before you start

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

  • A strong academic background in a quantitative field (e.g., Economics, Business, Data Science, Statistics) or equivalent practical experience.
  • Demonstrable experience with data manipulation in Excel (e.g., VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, basic formulas).
  • Some exposure to data visualisation tools (like Tableau or Power BI) or a strong desire to learn.
  • Basic understanding of programming logic, ideally with some experience in Python, even if it's just from university projects or online courses.

9What to practise next

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

Advanced Data Manipulation (Python)

As data sources become more complex and varied, simple Excel won't cut it. You'll need to handle larger datasets, different file formats, and more sophisticated cleaning techniques using code.

Pandas DataFrames · Error Handling · API Integration (Basic)

  • This quarter: Take an online course on advanced Pandas techniques. Focus on real-world data cleaning examples.
  • Next quarter: Identify one manual data collection task you do regularly and try to automate it with a Python script.
  • Month 6: Explore how to use a simple API (e.g., a public weather API) to pull data into Python.

Quick win: Start using Python for *all* your data cleaning, even if it's small CSVs. Force yourself to move away from Excel for these tasks.

10Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Participate in webinars or online courses on market research methodologies and competitive analysis.
  • Read industry publications and stay up-to-date on market trends in our sector.
  • Join relevant professional groups on LinkedIn or attend virtual industry events.
  • Actively seek feedback from senior team members and apply it to improve your work.

11How 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:

A broad read on this kind of work, not an analysis of this job on its own. Roles that share a pattern get the same answer here.

Fading: AI does more of this

AI is starting to handle the repetitive data cleaning tasks that used to consume your mornings.

Rising: worth more because of AI

Your ability to discern the most relevant insights from AI-generated data becomes increasingly valuable.

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

Competitors are already using tools like ChatGPT and Claude to draft reports in minutes that used to take hours. Analysts who figure this out will outproduce their peers significantly. This isn't just a 'nice to have' anymore; it's becoming a core productivity skill.

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 Associate Market 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.

13The 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.

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 on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a big chunk of market intelligence work can be repetitive. Imagine having a smart assistant that handles the grunt work, freeing you up to focus on the interesting bits – the actual insights. Our team is already using AI to make our lives easier, and you'll be joining us on that journey.

At Zavmo, we're not just talking about AI; we're actively using it to boost our productivity. For an Associate Market Intelligence Analyst, this means less time on tedious tasks and more time learning and contributing. You'll be trained on how to use these tools from day one, helping you become a more efficient and impactful analyst, faster.

Earnings Call Autopilot

Use AI to transcribe and summarise competitor earnings calls in real-time. It automatically extracts key themes, management sentiment, and direct quotes relevant to our business, giving you a draft summary within minutes. You'll then verify and refine it, saving you hours of listening and note-taking.

Insight Accelerator

Feed thousands of customer reviews, forum posts, and survey verbatims into an AI model to perform topic modelling and sentiment analysis. This helps you instantly identify emerging product gaps or points of dissatisfaction that would take weeks to find manually. You'll be spotting trends faster than ever.

Competitor Profile Drafter

Use a generative AI assistant to create a 'Version 0.1' draft of a new competitor profile. Prompt it to scour the web for company history, funding, key products, and executive bios, giving you a structured starting point. You'll then verify and deepen the research, cutting down initial research time significantly.

Executive Summary Shaper

After you've compiled a detailed report, use AI to generate different executive summaries: a one-paragraph version for a quick update, or a three-bullet-point version for Slack. This helps you tailor your core message to different audiences quickly, ensuring your findings get seen and understood.

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 an Associate Market 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 10 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 an Associate Market 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.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here – data analysis, strategic thinking, understanding market dynamics, and communicating insights – are highly transferable.
