Start the check, free

1What this role really is

This isn't just about crafting a strategy; it's about owning the entire annual strategic planning cycle for a significant part of our business, or even the whole company. You'll lead a team of strategists, making sure our big-picture goals actually turn into actionable plans that get results. Think of yourself as the architect and general contractor for our future direction, not just the blueprint designer.

2What you'd actually use

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

Microsoft ExcelStrategic

You won't be building every model from scratch, but you'll be reviewing, pressure-testing, and setting the standards for complex 3-statement models and sensitivity analyses built by your team. You'll spot the logical flaws and ensure robustness.

Presentation Software (PowerPoint)Strategic

You'll define the narrative and storyboarding for executive-ready 'decks', often presenting them directly to the C-suite and Board. Your focus is on the 'so what?' and ensuring maximum impact, not just pretty slides.

BI & Visualization (Tableau, Power BI)Architect

You'll define the enterprise BI strategy for strategic reporting, commissioning new dashboards and ensuring data integrity for executive-level consumption. You'll ensure the right KPIs are tracked effectively.

Collaboration & Ideation (Miro, MURAL)Strategic

You'll use these tools to design and facilitate complex strategic workshops (e.g., business model canvas, strategic alignment sessions) for cross-functional executive teams, synthesising outputs into actionable strategic options.

Enterprise Planning (Anaplan, Workday Adaptive Planning)Advanced/Strategic

You'll own or co-own the platform for long-range planning, running sophisticated scenario analyses that directly link strategic options to financial outcomes and operational plans.

Data Querying (SQL - PostgreSQL, Snowflake)Strategic

You'll understand data architecture and work closely with data engineering teams to define requirements for strategic data marts, ensuring your team has access to the right data for complex analyses. You won't be writing daily queries, but you'll know what's possible.

Board Reporting (Diligent, Nasdaq Boardvantage)Advanced

You'll manage the preparation and secure distribution of all strategic materials for Board of Directors meetings, ensuring accuracy, confidentiality, and timely delivery. This is a critical, high-stakes responsibility.

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 choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Strategic Direction for a Business Unit	No involvement beyond data gathering.	Contributes analysis to support options.	Recommends strategic options to leadership.
Departmental Budget Allocation	No budget authority.	No budget authority.	Proposes budget for specific projects (up to £10K).
Team Hiring & Structure	No involvement.	Participates in interviews.	Interviews and provides recommendations for junior roles.

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.

Strategic Initiative ROI

Return on Investment for major strategic programmes you've led or overseen.

Target · Minimum 15% ROI within 18-24 months of initiative launch.

A new market entry strategy you championed generated £2.5M in new revenue against a £1M investment in its first year, showing a 150% ROI.

Annual Revenue Forecast Accuracy

How close our annual revenue predictions are to actual results, based on your team's strategic inputs.

Target · Within a +/- 5% variance band for the overall company forecast.

If the annual forecast was £100M, actual revenue hitting between £95M and £105M would meet the target.

Strategic Project Delivery Rate

The percentage of key strategic projects, led by your team, that are delivered on time and within budget.

Target · 90% of strategic projects delivered as planned.

Out of 10 major strategic initiatives in a quarter, 9 were completed by their original deadline and budget.

Team Retention & Development

How well you retain your top talent and develop your team members for future growth.

Target · Voluntary attrition below 10%; 2-3 team members promoted or moved to more senior roles annually.

Last year, only 1 person left your team voluntarily, and 3 people were promoted to Manager or Senior Manager roles.

Executive Buy-in & Sponsorship

The extent to which senior leadership actively supports and champions the strategic plans developed by your team.

Senior leaders regularly reference your team's work in public forums, actively participate in strategic steering committees, and allocate resources based on your recommendations. You're seen as a trusted advisor, not just a data provider.

Clarity of Strategic Narrative

How effectively your team translates complex strategic analysis into a clear, compelling story that resonates across all levels of the organisation.

Business unit leaders can articulate the 'why' behind strategic shifts. Employees understand how their work contributes to the bigger picture. Your 'decks' are praised for their clarity and impact, not just their data.

Organisational Agility & Adaptability

Your team's ability to quickly adjust strategic plans in response to market shifts, competitive moves, or new opportunities.

We can pivot our strategic direction within weeks, not months, when a major market event occurs. Your team proactively identifies emerging threats and opportunities, presenting options to leadership before they become crises.

Cross-Functional Collaboration Quality

How well your team works with other departments to gather input, build consensus, and ensure strategic plans are implementable.

Other department heads consistently praise your team's collaborative approach. Strategic initiatives launch with strong cross-functional alignment, meaning fewer roadblocks down the line. You're seen as a partner, not just a 'strategy police'.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Shaping the Future

You'll spend your days defining the strategic roadmap, identifying new market opportunities, and making decisions that directly influence where the company goes next. It's about painting the big picture and then making sure we have the right brushstrokes to fill it in.

Leading the team that identifies and recommends our next major market expansion, seeing that decision get approved, and then watching the business unit execute it.

Leading & Developing Talent

A big part of your role is building, mentoring, and guiding a high-performing team of strategists. You'll get satisfaction from seeing your team members grow, take on bigger challenges, and deliver exceptional work. It's about empowering others to shine.

Coaching a manager on your team through a tricky stakeholder negotiation, then seeing them successfully close the deal and grow in confidence.

Solving Complex Problems

You'll be tackling the most ambiguous, high-stakes business challenges our company faces. This means constantly breaking down complex issues, running scenarios, and finding innovative solutions that genuinely create competitive advantage.

Being tasked with figuring out how to respond to a disruptive new competitor, and leading the team to develop a winning counter-strategy.

What frustrates people

The 'Strategy-Execution Gap': Your brilliant plans hitting a wall during implementation.
Data Scavenger Hunts: Wasting time on inconsistent, siloed data.
Death by a Thousand Edits: Your carefully crafted presentations getting diluted by endless feedback.
The 'HiPPO' Effect: Data-driven insights being overruled by executive intuition.
The Urgent Fire Drill: Your team's roadmap constantly getting derailed by ad-hoc, 'urgent' requests.
Corporate Politics: Navigating competing departmental agendas and turf wars.

What this role does not give you

A predictable, routine work schedule with no surprises.
Guaranteed implementation of every single strategic recommendation.
A clean, perfectly organised data environment where all information is readily available.
Complete autonomy without the need for significant stakeholder alignment and buy-in.
A role focused solely on individual contribution without team leadership responsibilities.

6Who you work with

This role directly shapes our organisational strategy and capability. You're not just advising; you're driving the process that defines our market position, allocates significant capital, and ultimately determines our long-term success. Your decisions here can mean the difference between hitting ambitious growth targets or stagnating in a competitive market. You'll be making calls that affect millions of pounds and thousands of jobs, so the stakes are pretty high.

Inside the business

SVP and Executive Peers (e.g., SVP Product, CFO, COO)
Business Unit Leaders (MDs, GMs)
Finance Leadership (for budget and P&L alignment)
Product & Engineering Leadership (for roadmap alignment)
Sales & Marketing Leadership (for GTM strategy)

Outside the business

Industry Bodies and Associations
Key Strategic Partners (for joint ventures, major alliances)
Consulting Firms (managing external strategic engagements)
Investors (indirectly, through strategic performance)

7What you need before you start

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

Proven track record of leading complex strategic projects from inception to recommendation.
Demonstrable experience managing and developing a team of strategic analysts or consultants (minimum 3-5 direct reports).
Expertise in building and defending comprehensive financial models and business cases.
Significant experience presenting to and influencing senior executive teams.
A deep understanding of the Technology/SaaS or FinTech industry, including key trends and competitive dynamics.

8What to practise next

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

Cloud Data Architecture & Governance

Our strategic insights are only as good as our data. As we move more data to the cloud (Snowflake, AWS, Azure), understanding how data is stored, accessed, and governed becomes critical for ensuring data quality and enabling advanced analytics for your team.

Data Lake vs. Data Warehouse vs. Data Mart · Data Governance Frameworks · API Integration for Data Sources · Cost Optimisation in Cloud Data

This month: Schedule a deep dive with our Head of Data Engineering to understand our current cloud architecture.
Next quarter: Review our data governance policies and identify areas for strategic improvement.
Month 4-6: Participate in a project to define requirements for a new strategic data mart.
Month 7-9: Take an online course on cloud data fundamentals (e.g., AWS Cloud Practitioner or Azure Fundamentals).

Quick win: Review the data lineage for one key strategic KPI your team uses. Can you trace it back to its source? If not, work with Data Engineering to map it out.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly reading top-tier business publications (e.g., Harvard Business Review, McKinsey Quarterly, The Economist) to stay abreast of global economic trends and strategic thinking.
Attending executive education programmes or industry conferences focused on corporate strategy, leadership, or specific industry trends (e.g., FinTech innovation).
Participating in peer groups or networks with other Strategy Directors to share insights and best practices.
Mentoring junior talent within the organisation, which helps solidify your own understanding and leadership skills.

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 Strategic Foresight

Traditional market research is slow. Competitors are already using AI to spot micro-trends, predict market shifts, and even simulate competitive responses in real-time. If you're not using these tools, you're at a disadvantage.

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

The rising capability

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 Planning 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:

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.
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

As a Strategic Planning Director Manager, your time is gold. You're leading a team, shaping vision, and influencing executives. Imagine if you could cut down on the grunt work and focus even more on high-level strategic thinking. That's exactly what AI can do for you and your team.

We're not talking about replacing human ingenuity; we're talking about augmenting it. AI tools can handle the repetitive, data-heavy, and first-draft tasks, freeing you and your team up for deeper analysis, more creative problem-solving, and more impactful stakeholder engagement. It's about working smarter, not just harder.

Automated Market Intelligence Briefings

Use AI agents to tirelessly scour the web, summarise competitor earnings calls, analyse industry reports, and flag emerging trends. You'll get a concise, daily intelligence briefing delivered straight to your inbox, ready for you to review and discuss with your team, saving hours of manual research.

Accelerated Scenario Modelling & Stress Testing

Feed AI historical data, key economic variables, and strategic assumptions to rapidly generate initial financial models for multiple future scenarios (e.g., base, upside, downside). This gives your team a robust starting point for refinement, allowing you to stress-test more possibilities in less time and present more resilient strategies.

Executive Summary & Narrative Generation

After your team has built 'the deck' with all the complex data, use generative AI to instantly draft a compelling, C-suite-ready executive summary. It translates intricate findings into high-level strategic narratives, saving precious time on crafting the perfect message and ensuring your key points land effectively with senior leaders.

Advanced Sentiment & Trend Analysis

Point AI tools at vast datasets of customer feedback, employee surveys, or social media conversations. Instantly identify emerging opportunities, potential threats, and shifts in sentiment that would take weeks for a human team to uncover. This helps you validate strategic assumptions and refine your plans with real-time insights.

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 Planning 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 6 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 Planning 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.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 6

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 strategic planning skills you'll hone here are highly transferable across industries, especially within the broader technology, finance, and professional services sectors. Your ability to break down complex problems, influence stakeholders, and drive strategic change is valuable everywhere. You could easily move into a similar leadership role in another fast-growing company or even transition into a venture capital or private equity firm.

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.

You're not behind. You're right on time. The shift is only just beginning. Your role won't look the same in two years. Be the one who leads the change, not the one it happens to. Build my plan, free Here's the first ten minutes: a 2-minute confidence check → your personalised roadmap → meet the tutors matched to you. No card, cancel any time. No card. Build your plan, see your roadmap and meet the twelve tutors matched to you. All free. When you're ready to start learning, it's £70 a month, billed monthly. Cancel any time and billing stops.
