1What this role really is

This isn't just about crunching numbers; it's about helping us figure out where in the world we should go next. You'll be the person digging into the data, pulling together the initial research, and making sure our senior strategists have everything they need to make big decisions. Think of it as being the detective for new market opportunities, but with a spreadsheet instead of a magnifying glass. You'll learn the ropes, get a feel for how global business works, and really contribute to our growth story.

2A day in the life

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

08:45
You kick off your day by gathering raw market data from platforms like Statista Pro, ensuring you're ready for the morning check-in with your Lead Strategist.
11:30
You're deep into competitor research, summarising key players' market shares and recent activities, building profiles that will feed into larger strategic discussions.
14:00
You spend the afternoon populating financial models in Excel, double-checking data links, and ensuring everything is up-to-date for an upcoming internal review.
16:30
The day wraps up with documenting your research findings in the knowledge management system, a task you know is tedious but crucial for the team's future work.

3What you'd actually use

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

Advanced Excel (Power Query, basic formulas)Intermediate

Updating and maintaining existing financial models, performing basic data manipulation, and creating simple charts and tables for analysis.

Tableau / Power BI (Consumer)Basic

Using pre-built dashboards to extract specific insights, filter data, and create simple visualisations for presentations.

Asana / Monday.com (Task Management)User

Updating your tasks, tracking personal deliverables, and following project plans set by the senior team.

Confluence / Notion (Knowledge Management)Contributor

Documenting your research findings, adding to team knowledge bases, and finding existing information relevant to your tasks.

PitchBook / CB Insights / Statista Pro / Euromonitor PassportIntermediate

Pulling pre-defined reports, extracting specific company or market data points, and performing basic competitor lookups to inform your research.

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 Selection for a New MarketPropose potential sources to your Lead Strategist for approval, explaining why you think they're reliable. You won't make the final call.Independently select and justify primary and secondary data sources for routine market analyses, consulting with your manager on novel or high-cost sources.Define the standard data sources and methodologies for a specific market entry project, making the final call on most sources and justifying any exceptions to leadership.
Approach to Competitor AnalysisFollow the established template and methodology for competitor deep-dives. If you find something unusual, you'll flag it for your Lead Strategist.Choose the most appropriate analytical approach (e.g., SWOT, Porter's Five Forces) for a given competitor analysis, adapting it as needed for specific market nuances.Design the overall framework for competitive intelligence gathering for a new market or product category, including key metrics and reporting structure.
Prioritisation of Daily TasksPrioritise tasks based on explicit instructions from your Lead Strategist. If priorities conflict, you'll ask for guidance.Independently prioritise your daily and weekly tasks within a defined project, escalating only when there are major conflicts or unexpected urgent requests.Manage the prioritisation of tasks for your workstream, balancing multiple project demands and resource availability, with bi-weekly alignment with your Director.
Recommendation on Market Entry ModeNo authority. You'll provide the data and research that informs these recommendations, but you won't be making them.Propose and justify a recommended market entry mode (e.g., Greenfield, JV) for a specific market, based on your analysis, for review by senior strategists.Lead the analysis and present the final recommendation for market entry mode to the Director and relevant cross-functional leads, defending the business case.

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 data points, figures, and facts in your research and models that are correct and verifiable.
Target · 98%+

If you pull 100 data points for a market profile, no more than two should be incorrect or outdated when reviewed by a senior analyst.

Timeliness of Deliverables
How often you submit your assigned research, data pulls, or slide contributions by the agreed deadline.
Target · 95%+

If you're asked for a competitor deep-dive by Wednesday, you'll have it ready (or communicate a clear reason for delay) by then.

Research Efficiency
The time it takes you to complete standard research tasks, like a country-specific market profile.
Target · Reduce average time by 10-15% over 6 months

If a standard country profile takes you 5 days now, we'd expect that to be closer to 4-4.5 days in six months, as you get faster with the tools and sources.

Model Maintenance Accuracy
The accuracy of updates and maintenance performed on existing financial or market models.
Target · No critical errors (e.g., broken formulas, incorrect data links)

When you update the Q4 revenue figures in an Excel model, all dependent calculations should remain correct and the model should run without errors.

Proactive Learning & Questioning
You're not just waiting for instructions; you're asking 'why' and trying to understand the bigger picture. You're keen to learn the frameworks and methodologies we use.
  • You ask clarifying questions during briefings, suggest new data sources you've found, actively participate in team learning sessions, and seek feedback on your work to improve.
Attention to Detail
Your work is generally free from typos, formatting errors, and small mistakes that could undermine credibility. You catch the little things.
  • Your slides are well-aligned, numbers add up, sources are cited correctly, and you spot inconsistencies in data before a senior analyst points them out.
Responsiveness & Communication
You keep your team in the loop about your progress, any roadblocks you hit, or if you need help. You're easy to work with.
  • You respond to emails/messages promptly, proactively flag when a deadline might be missed, and clearly explain your thought process when presenting findings.

6Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Learning & Development

You'll be constantly exposed to new markets, new analytical techniques, and strategic frameworks. Every day is a chance to learn something new about global business and how a company grows internationally.

You'll spend your first few months diving deep into our market intelligence platforms, learning how to extract meaningful insights, and understanding the core questions we ask when evaluating a new country.

Impact & Contribution

Even at this level, your work directly feeds into significant company decisions. You're not just busywork; your research helps shape where we go next.

The country profile you put together might be the first piece of evidence that convinces a senior leader to explore a new region, eventually leading to a multi-million-pound investment.

Global Perspective

If you love thinking about different cultures, economies, and political systems, you'll thrive here. Your work will span multiple continents and give you a truly international outlook.

One week you might be researching consumer behaviour in Southeast Asia, the next you're looking at regulatory hurdles in Latin America. It's never dull.

What frustrates people
  • The 'CEO's Pet Project': You've spent weeks building a case for one market, only for leadership to pivot to another based on a casual conversation.
  • Data Integrity Nightmares: Trying to reconcile conflicting data from multiple sources to build a coherent picture.
  • Analysis Paralysis: Sometimes, we get stuck in the weeds, over-analysing to the point where a decision never gets made.
  • The Time Zone Grind: Occasional early morning or late evening calls to align with teams across different regions.
What this role does not give you
  • Immediate decision-making authority on strategic direction.
  • A fully predictable, routine workload – priorities can shift quickly.
  • A role where you're always client-facing or leading major presentations (though you'll contribute to them).

7Who you work with

You're directly supporting the foundational research for all our international growth initiatives. Your accurate data and initial insights help shape the direction of our future market entries, protecting us from bad bets and highlighting genuine opportunities. Essentially, you're helping us make smarter, data-backed decisions about where to invest our next big chunk of capital.

Inside the business
  • Lead Global Expansion Strategists
  • Senior Global Strategy Analysts
  • Finance Business Partners
  • Data & Analytics Team
Outside the business
  • Market research vendors (e.g., Euromonitor, Statista)
  • Industry associations (indirectly, through research)

8What you need before you start

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

  • A genuine, demonstrable interest in international business and global markets – you should be able to talk about this passionately.
  • Solid analytical skills, meaning you're comfortable with numbers and can spot trends or anomalies in data.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (or Google Sheets) for data manipulation and basic modelling.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, for reports and internal discussions.
  • The ability to work independently on assigned tasks, but also know when to ask for help.

9What to practise next

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

Advanced Financial & Scenario Modelling (Excel/Anaplan)

Moving beyond just updating models, you'll need to build more complex, multi-variable financial models from scratch. This is crucial for creating robust business cases that can withstand scrutiny.

Driver-Based Modelling · Sensitivity Analysis · Scenario Planning in Models · Data Integration

  • This week: Ask your Lead Strategist for access to some of our more complex Excel models and spend time dissecting them.
  • This month: Complete an online course on advanced Excel modelling, focusing on financial functions and scenario tools.
  • Month 2: Take on a small project to build a simple financial model from scratch for a hypothetical market entry.
  • Month 3: Seek feedback on your model from a senior analyst or Finance colleague, asking them to stress-test your assumptions.

Quick win: Start using Excel's Goal Seek and Scenario Manager functions on existing models to understand their power.

Data Visualisation & Storytelling (Tableau/Power BI)

It's not enough to just have data; you need to present it in a way that's clear, compelling, and actionable for decision-makers. This means moving beyond basic charts to building interactive dashboards that tell a story.

Dashboard Design Principles · Data Storytelling · Interactivity · Choosing the Right Chart

  • This week: Explore Tableau Public or Power BI's online gallery for examples of great dashboards. Deconstruct what makes them effective.
  • This month: Complete an online tutorial on building your first interactive dashboard using Tableau or Power BI with some dummy data.
  • Month 2: Take a dataset you've used for a research task and try to build a compelling, interactive dashboard to present your findings.
  • Month 3: Present your dashboard to your team for feedback, focusing on clarity and impact.

Quick win: When preparing slides, think about how you can simplify complex data into one powerful visual, rather than a table of numbers.

10Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly read industry publications and global business news (e.g., Financial Times, The Economist, Wall Street Journal) to stay on top of market trends.
  • Attend webinars or online courses on specific market entry strategies, geopolitical analysis, or advanced Excel/BI tools.
  • Seek out mentorship opportunities within the team or wider organisation to learn from experienced strategists.
  • Actively participate in internal knowledge-sharing sessions and offer to present on research you've completed.

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 taking over the repetitive task of drafting initial research outlines and summarising news articles.

Rising: worth more because of AI

Your ability to critically assess AI-generated insights and apply them to strategic decisions becomes more valuable.

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering & AI-Assisted Research

AI tools like large language models (LLMs) are already transforming how we do research and analysis. Competitors are using them to draft reports in minutes that used to take hours. Analysts who master this will be significantly more productive.

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 Global Strategy 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.

  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 lot of the initial grunt work in global strategy – digging for data, summarising reports, even drafting basic analyses – can be a time sink. But what if you could offload a big chunk of that? We're embracing AI tools to make our team more efficient, giving you back precious hours to focus on the truly interesting, strategic thinking.

As an Associate, you'll be on the front lines of data gathering and initial analysis. AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to be your co-pilot, handling the tedious bits so you can learn faster, contribute more, and spend your time on higher-value activities. You'll be using these tools from day one, and frankly, it's how we expect you to work.

Automated Market Briefings

Imagine an AI agent scraping daily news, regulatory updates, and economic reports from 5 target countries, summarising them into a concise English brief every morning. You'll get the key headlines without wading through endless articles, freeing you up for deeper dives.

Quick-Scan Sentiment Analysis

Instead of manually sifting through thousands of local product reviews or social media posts, you'll feed them into an AI model. It'll quickly highlight key pain points, feature gaps, and cultural nuances in minutes, giving you instant insights into local market sentiment.

First-Draft PESTLE Generator

Need a quick overview of a new country's Political, Economic, Social, and Technological landscape? Use an LLM trained on business data to generate a solid 'first draft' PESTLE analysis. You then spend your time verifying, adding strategic insight, and making it truly useful, rather than starting from scratch.

Data Extraction & Summarisation

Got a huge PDF report with pages of tables and text? Use AI tools to quickly extract specific data points, summarise key sections, or even convert unstructured text into structured data for your models. This saves hours of manual copying and pasting.

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 Global Strategy 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 1 national skill standard. 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 Global Strategy 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.
