1What this role really is

This role is all about digging deep into our markets and competitors. You'll be the person who figures out what's really happening out there, giving our strategy team the solid facts they need to make big decisions. It's not just about pulling data; it's about making sense of it and telling a clear story. You'll work closely with the team, but most of your day-to-day analysis will be yours to own, from start to finish.

2What 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)Intermediate

Running complex Boolean searches to track specific companies or market trends, setting up custom alerts, and pulling specific company filings or earnings call transcripts on demand.

Crayon / Kompyte (Competitive Intelligence Platform)Intermediate

Monitoring assigned competitors, tagging updates (e.g., pricing changes, new messaging), populating fields in 'battlecards,' and configuring basic automated reports.

Tableau / Power BI (Data Visualisation)Advanced

Building complex, interactive dashboards from scratch. This includes blending multiple data sources (e.g., Salesforce + market data) and using advanced functions to create compelling visualisations for stakeholders.

Python (pandas, BeautifulSoup, scikit-learn)Intermediate

Writing scripts to clean and merge CSVs, using BeautifulSoup for basic web scraping of structured sites, and performing exploratory data analysis in a Jupyter Notebook to uncover initial insights.

Qualtrics / SurveyMonkey (Primary Research)Intermediate

Drafting simple surveys from a template, distributing them to target audiences, and exporting raw results for analysis. You'll be able to set up basic branching logic.

Confluence / Notion (Knowledge Management)Advanced

Creating and updating pages with detailed research findings, following existing information architecture. You'll also be designing and owning sections of the knowledge base, ensuring insights are captured systematically.

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.

Competitor Profile Accuracy
How up-to-date and correct our competitor 'battlecards' and profiles are.
Target · Maintain >95% accuracy on all Tier 1 competitor data points (e.g., pricing, features, messaging).

If a competitor changes their pricing model, you've updated our internal battlecard within 48 hours, and the sales team confirms it's correct.

Market Sizing & Forecast Variance
How close your market size estimates and segment forecasts are to actual market performance or internal sales results.
Target · Achieve a +/- 10% variance on quarterly market segment forecasts against actual revenue/market data.

Your Q3 forecast for the 'SME FinTech' segment was £12M, and the actual market size reported was £11.5M, which is a 4.2% variance – well within target.

Research Project Timeliness
Delivering assigned market intelligence projects and reports within agreed-upon deadlines.
Target · Complete 90% of assigned research projects on or before the agreed deadline.

You were asked to deliver a deep-dive on 'Emerging Payments in Europe' by 15th March, and you delivered it on 14th March.

Win/Loss Interview Completion Rate
The number of win/loss interviews you successfully conduct with customers and prospects.
Target · Conduct at least 5 win/loss interviews per month, with a minimum of 2 'loss' interviews.

In April, you completed 6 interviews: 4 with won customers and 2 with lost prospects, providing valuable feedback to Product and Sales.

Actionable Insights Delivered
How often your analysis leads directly to a change in strategy, product development, or sales approach.
  • Stakeholders explicitly reference your work in strategic discussions, product feature prioritisation meetings, or sales training. You'll see your recommendations turn into actual decisions and actions, not just sit on a shelf. People will say, 'Remember that report [Your Name] did? That's why we're doing X.'
Clarity of Communication
How well you can distill complex market data into clear, concise, and compelling narratives for different audiences.
  • Your presentations are understood quickly by non-experts. Executives don't ask for clarification on your core message. Your written reports are easy to read and get straight to the point. You'll hear comments like, 'That was really clear, thanks for cutting through the noise.'
Proactive Issue Identification
Your ability to spot emerging market trends or competitive threats before they become major problems for the business.
  • You flag potential issues (e.g., a new competitor gaining traction, a shift in customer sentiment) that weren't on anyone else's radar. You bring these to your manager with initial data and a proposed next step. You're not just reacting
  • you're anticipating.
Stakeholder Engagement & Trust
The level of trust and confidence internal teams place in your analysis and recommendations.
  • Teams come to you proactively for market context before starting new projects. They ask for your opinion in informal chats, not just formal meetings. They trust your data and your interpretation, even when it's not what they want to hear. You're seen as a reliable, objective source of truth.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You love the challenge of taking disparate pieces of information – a news article here, a financial report there, a customer interview – and fitting them together to form a coherent picture. It's like being a detective, but for business strategy.

Spending a day piecing together a competitor's unannounced product strategy from patent filings, LinkedIn profiles, and obscure industry forum posts.

Direct Business Impact

You get a real buzz from knowing your work directly influences significant business decisions. You want to see your analysis lead to tangible changes in strategy, product development, or how we approach sales.

Seeing a product feature you identified as a market gap get prioritised and developed, then watching it succeed in the market.

Continuous Learning & Discovery

The market is always changing, and you thrive on that. You're excited by the prospect of constantly learning about new technologies, new competitors, and evolving customer behaviours. Every day brings a new discovery.

Deep-diving into a completely new market segment you knew nothing about last week, and becoming an expert on it within a few days.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Urgent' C-Suite Fire Drill: Your carefully planned project gets instantly derailed by a CEO's 'quick question' about a competitor they just read about on a flight.
  • Being the 'Department of Bad News': Presenting a well-researched, bearish forecast on a pet project and being perceived as negative or 'not a team player' by some.
  • Sales Ignoring Your Work: Spending weeks creating perfect sales battlecards, only to find out months later that the sales team finds them 'too academic' and rarely uses them.
  • The £50k Report Problem: Knowing the exact data you need to answer a critical question is locked behind a paywall of a single, ridiculously expensive industry report that Finance won't approve.
  • Death by a Thousand Proxies: Trying to build a market size model when there's no direct data, forcing you to rely on a chain of increasingly shaky assumptions and proxy metrics.
What this role does not give you
  • A perfectly structured, predictable workload – expect curveballs.
  • Guaranteed implementation of every insight you generate – priorities shift.
  • A purely academic, hands-off research role – you're expected to form opinions and influence.
  • A direct management path in the short term – this is an individual contributor role.

6Who you work with

Your work directly informs our strategic planning, product roadmap decisions, and competitive sales strategies. Essentially, you help us see around corners, understand our competitive landscape, and quantify market opportunities, influencing decisions that could be worth millions of pounds.

Inside the business
  • Corporate Strategy Team
  • Product Management (especially product marketing)
  • Sales Leadership
  • Finance (for market sizing and forecasting)
  • Marketing (for competitive positioning)
Outside the business
  • Market research vendors (occasionally)
  • Industry analysts (for data validation)
  • Customers (through win/loss interviews)

7What you need before you start

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

  • At least 2 years of experience in a dedicated market research, business intelligence, or competitive intelligence role, or equivalent experience in a highly analytical strategy function.
  • Demonstrable experience in independently conducting research, analysing data, and presenting findings to internal stakeholders.
  • Solid understanding of core business concepts (e.g., P&L, market share, customer segmentation).
  • Proven ability to use at least one data visualisation tool (Tableau or Power BI) to build dashboards from scratch.
  • Experience with at least one programming language for data analysis (e.g., Python or R) for cleaning and manipulating data, or equivalent advanced Excel/SQL skills.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Data Engineering for MI

As our data sources multiply and get messier, the ability to build robust, repeatable data pipelines will become essential. We can't keep manually cleaning data forever; automation is key to scale.

API Integration (RESTful APIs) · Data Warehousing Basics · Orchestration Tools (e.g., Airflow basics) · Data Quality & Validation Frameworks

  • This quarter: Take an online course on Python for APIs and basic SQL for data warehousing.
  • Next quarter: Identify one manual data collection process you currently do and try to automate it using a Python script and an API.
  • Month 6: Work with our data engineering team to understand how our internal data warehouse is structured.
  • Month 9: Propose a small project to improve data quality for a specific market intelligence dataset.

Quick win: Start exploring the APIs of tools you already use (like AlphaSense or Crayon) to see what data you can pull programmatically. Even if it's just a small script, it's a start.

Basic NLP for Text Analysis

A huge amount of market intelligence is unstructured text – news articles, social media, customer reviews. Being able to extract insights from this data automatically will be a game-changer for speed and scale.

Sentiment Analysis · Topic Modelling (e.g., LDA) · Named Entity Recognition (NER) · Text Preprocessing Techniques

  • This quarter: Complete an online course on Python for NLP (e.g., using NLTK or spaCy libraries).
  • Next quarter: Apply basic sentiment analysis to a dataset of customer reviews or competitor news articles.
  • Month 6: Experiment with topic modelling on a collection of industry reports to identify key themes.
  • Month 9: Present a small project where NLP helped you uncover an insight you wouldn't have found manually.

Quick win: Use a simple Python library to count the frequency of keywords in a set of competitor press releases. It's a basic step, but it gets you started with text data.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly read industry publications and analyst reports (e.g., Gartner, Forrester, IDC) to stay on top of market trends and methodologies.
  • Attend webinars or online courses on advanced data visualisation, Python for data science, or specific market research techniques.
  • Participate in industry forums or online communities for market intelligence professionals to share knowledge and learn from peers.
  • Seek out opportunities to present your analysis to different internal teams to hone your data storytelling and presentation skills.

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 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.

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 big chunk of market intelligence work can be tedious: sifting through earnings calls, building initial competitor profiles, or trying to find themes in hundreds of customer reviews. What if you could cut that time in half, or even more? We're embracing AI to make our analysts more strategic, not just faster.

We're not just talking about buzzwords here. We're actively integrating AI tools to automate the grunt work, freeing you up to focus on the truly interesting part: finding the 'so what' in the data. Think of AI as your super-efficient research assistant, handling the initial heavy lifting so you can spend your time on deep analysis and strategic thinking.

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, creating a draft summary within minutes of the call ending. This means less time listening and note-taking, more time analysing.

Insight Accelerator

Feed thousands of customer reviews, forum posts, and survey verbatims into an AI model to perform topic modelling and sentiment analysis. You'll instantly identify emerging product gaps or points of dissatisfaction that would take weeks to find manually. This helps you spot 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, providing a structured starting point for you to verify and deepen. It's like having a research intern who never sleeps.

Executive Summary Shaper

After you've done all the detailed analysis for a 20-page report, use AI to generate three different executive summaries: a one-paragraph version for the CEO, a three-bullet-point version for Slack, and a one-page version for the sales leadership team. This ensures your core message is tailored to each audience, saving you precious time on re-writing.

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 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 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 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.

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

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 – advanced analytical thinking, data storytelling, competitive analysis, and strategic influence – are highly transferable. You could move into broader Corporate Strategy roles, Product Management, Growth Strategy, or even venture capital/private equity where market diligence is key. Your ability to quickly understand and assess new markets will make you valuable almost anywhere.
