1What this role really is

This role is all about getting stuck into the detail of strategic initiatives. You'll be the person who pulls the data, builds the models, and drafts the slides that help our senior leaders make big decisions. It’s a hands-on analytical role, where you'll own specific pieces of larger projects, making sure the numbers stack up and the story holds together. Think of it as being the engine room for strategic thinking – you're making sure the machinery works smoothly.

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
Analytical MethodologyFollows prescribed methods; escalates any deviation.Chooses appropriate standard methodologies for routine problems; consults manager for novel situations.Designs and adapts complex methodologies; consults Director on strategic implications.

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.

Analysis Accuracy Rate
The percentage of your analytical models and data sets that are free from errors or significant discrepancies.
Target · Less than 1% error rate on all quantitative outputs.

Your market sizing model for a new segment is reviewed by the Lead Strategist and has zero calculation errors or incorrect data references.

On-Time Task Completion
The proportion of assigned tasks and workstream deliverables completed by their agreed-upon deadlines.
Target · 95% of tasks completed on schedule.

You committed to delivering the competitor analysis slides by Tuesday EOD and they were submitted on time, ready for review.

Data Quality & Cleanliness
How well you've cleaned, structured, and validated the data used in your analysis, making it ready for use.
Target · Data sets used in models are 90%+ complete and consistent, requiring minimal rework from others.

You pulled raw sales data from three different systems, identified and resolved all inconsistencies, and presented a unified, clean dataset for the team's use.

Presentation Clarity Score
The ease with which your slides and documents convey complex information, as judged by your manager.
Target · Consistently rated 'clear and concise' by your manager in project reviews.

Your 10-slide deck explaining the implications of a new market trend was immediately understood by the project lead without needing extensive verbal explanation.

Proactive Problem Identification
Your ability to spot potential issues or roadblocks in a project before they become major problems.
  • You flag a potential data source issue to your manager before starting the analysis. You notice a logical inconsistency in a project hypothesis and raise it for discussion. You identify a missing piece of information early on that would derail the project later.
Quality of Initial Insights
How well your analysis goes beyond just presenting numbers to offering initial interpretations and implications.
  • In a project update, you don't just show the market size, but also suggest 'This implies we need to focus on X segment first.' Your manager often uses your initial insights as a starting point for their own thinking or in discussions with senior leaders.
Informal Peer Support
Your willingness and ability to help out newer or less experienced team members with practical advice or guidance.
  • A junior analyst asks you for help with an Excel formula, and you walk them through it. You offer to review a colleague's slides for clarity before a big meeting. You share a useful template or resource with the team without being asked.
Adaptability to Feedback
How effectively you take on board feedback, even if it means redoing work, and apply it to improve your outputs.
  • After a review, you quickly and accurately incorporate suggested changes into your model or presentation. You don't get defensive when your work is critiqued, but instead ask clarifying questions to understand the feedback better and apply it next time.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You'll be given ambiguous business questions and asked to figure out the best way to answer them using data. This means structuring problems, finding the right information, and building models to test hypotheses.

Being asked 'Should we enter the German market?' and then designing the research plan, building the market model, and identifying the key success factors.

Direct Impact on Big Decisions

Your analysis and insights will be presented to senior leadership and directly influence significant company-wide strategic choices, from market entry to investment priorities.

Seeing your financial model for a potential acquisition used in the final board presentation, leading to a multi-million pound investment decision.

Continuous Learning & Growth

Every project brings a new industry, a new business problem, or a new analytical challenge. You'll constantly be learning new frameworks, data sources, and ways of thinking.

Moving from a project on supply chain optimisation to one on digital marketing strategy within a few months, forcing you to quickly learn new domain knowledge.

What frustrates people
  • Spending 80% of your time cleaning up messy, inconsistent data from various internal systems.
  • Working on a detailed analysis only for the core assumptions to change at the last minute.
  • Watching a clear, data-driven recommendation get watered down to a bland compromise to please everyone.
  • The 'fire drill' request that drops late on a Friday, demanding weekend work for a meeting that might get cancelled.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, highly structured work routine with minimal ambiguity.
  • Direct people management responsibilities (at this level).
  • A guarantee that every piece of your analysis will be implemented.
  • Complete autonomy over project direction – you're supporting, not leading, the strategy.

6Who you work with

Your reliable delivery of accurate analysis and clear insights directly supports the Corporate Strategy team's ability to provide credible recommendations to senior leadership. You're essentially building the foundational blocks for major strategic decisions, helping to ensure they're well-informed and data-driven. Get it right, and the company moves in the right direction; get it wrong, and we could be making expensive mistakes.

Inside the business
  • Your Manager (Senior Strategic Projects Support / Lead Strategist)
  • Project Leads within Corporate Strategy
  • Cross-functional peers in Product, Sales, and Finance
  • Business Unit managers who are 'clients' of the strategy team
Outside the business
  • Market research providers
  • Industry experts (occasionally)

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 role, ideally within a fast-paced business environment or a consulting firm.
  • Demonstrable experience in building and working with quantitative models, particularly in Excel.
  • Experience in conducting secondary research and synthesising findings into clear outputs.
  • The ability to translate complex data into compelling visualisations and narratives.
  • Strong foundational understanding of business and financial concepts.
  • A genuine curiosity about how businesses operate and a drive to solve tricky problems.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Excel Automation & Data Modelling

As projects get more complex, manual data manipulation becomes a bottleneck and a source of errors. Automating repetitive tasks and building more robust, auditable data models in Excel (or linking it to other tools) will be crucial for efficiency and accuracy.

Power Query (M Language) · Power Pivot (DAX Language) · VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) Basics · Scenario & Sensitivity Analysis

  • This week: Watch a few YouTube tutorials on Power Query in Excel and try to apply it to one of your current data cleaning tasks.
  • This month: Build a simple Power Pivot model to analyse a dataset that's too large or complex for standard Excel formulas.
  • Month 2: Experiment with recording a basic VBA macro to automate a repetitive formatting task in one of your regular reports.
  • Month 3: Design a financial model that includes clear scenario and sensitivity analysis, allowing for easy adjustment of key variables.

Quick win: Next time you're manually cleaning data in Excel, pause and ask yourself if Power Query could do this faster and more reliably. It often can!

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly read industry publications and thought leadership from top consulting firms to stay current on strategic trends.
  • Attend webinars or online courses on advanced Excel, data visualisation, or specific strategic frameworks.
  • Seek out opportunities to present your work to different internal audiences to refine your communication skills.
  • Actively participate in internal 'lunch and learn' sessions or knowledge-sharing forums within the Strategy team.

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

Honestly, competitors are already using tools like GPT to draft reports in 10 minutes that used to take 2 hours. Analysts who figure out how to effectively use Large Language Models (LLMs) will simply outproduce their peers. It's a game-changer for speed and efficiency.

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 Strategic Projects Support 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:

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.

The career path, and where it branches

Strategic Projects Support is a start, not a ceiling. Each step below asks for new skills and hands back more autonomy.

  1. Senior Strategic Projects Support (L3)

    2-3 years in current role

    You'll move from owning specific analytical modules to leading entire workstreams within larger strategic projects. This means more responsibility for project design, stakeholder management, and mentoring junior colleagues.

    • Designing end-to-end strategic analyses, not just executing parts
    • Making recommendations to senior leadership with conviction
    • Mentoring junior analysts on technical skills and soft skills
    • More in-depth financial modelling (e.g., M&A accretion/dilution)

  2. Project Manager (Outside Strategy)

    3-4 years in current role

    If you enjoy the 'getting things done' aspect, you could transition into a dedicated Project Manager role in a business unit, focusing on execution rather than pure strategy formulation. You'd be responsible for driving specific initiatives from planning through to delivery.

    • Using formal project management software (e.g., Jira, Asana)
    • Stakeholder communication for project updates and issue resolution
    • Vendor management (if applicable to projects)
    • Change management principles for project adoption
Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of strategic analysis involves repetitive tasks, digging through mountains of text, and wrestling with first drafts. Imagine getting hours back every week to focus on the truly interesting, high-value thinking. That's exactly what AI can do for you in this role.

We're not just talking about using ChatGPT for fun. We're integrating specific AI tools and techniques directly into your workflow to automate the tedious bits, speed up your research, and help you get to insights faster. This isn't about replacing you; it's about making you a much more powerful strategist.

Automated Market Intelligence Briefings

Imagine an AI agent constantly scanning news, competitor reports, and industry trends. It then generates a daily 'what you need to know' summary, complete with sentiment analysis and key takeaways. You'll get up-to-speed faster, without sifting through endless articles. This frees you up to interpret, not just collect.

First-Draft Scenario Modeling

Need to build a 5-year DCF model from scratch? Instead of starting with a blank sheet, use an AI code interpreter to generate the basic Python or VBA skeleton based on your plain-language prompts. It'll handle the initial setup, letting you jump straight into refining assumptions and adding your strategic nuance. It's a massive head start.

Rapid Research Synthesis

Got 20 industry reports, 10 academic papers, and a pile of internal documents to digest? Feed them into a large context window AI. Ask it to identify the top 5 strategic risks, summarise key market growth drivers, or even find contradictory data points. You'll synthesise complex information in minutes, not days.

Executive Narrative & Deck Generation

Once you've got your analysis, the next step is often turning it into a compelling story. Paste your raw analytical outputs and key takeaways into an AI and prompt it to 'Write a compelling 3-page executive summary for a skeptical CFO' or 'Generate a 10-slide PowerPoint deck from this analysis, including titles and speaker notes.' It'll give you a solid first draft to polish.

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 Strategic Projects Support, 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 9 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 Strategic Projects Support: 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.
