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 Business Impact
The documented revenue uplift or cost savings generated by strategic initiatives your team has influenced or led.
Target · Greater than £5M in documented annual revenue or cost savings.

Your team's recommendation for optimising our go-to-market strategy in APAC resulted in a £7.5M increase in regional revenue for the year.

International Market Share Growth
Contribution to a measurable increase in market share within key international markets identified as strategic priorities.
Target · A 2% gain in market share in at least one identified priority international market per year.

Following your team's deep dive into the German market, we saw our market share increase from 8% to 10% within 12 months.

Strategic Planning Maturity Score
Improvement in the organisation's internal strategic planning maturity, reflecting better processes, data quality, and decision-making.
Target · Increase our internal strategic planning maturity score by one level (e.g., from Level 2 to Level 3 on a 5-point scale).

Through your leadership, our market entry framework is now standardised, reducing time-to-decision by 30% and moving us to Level 3 maturity.

Team Performance & Retention
The overall performance of your direct reports and their retention within the team.
Target · Achieve an average 'Exceeds Expectations' rating for your team, with a retention rate of 90% or higher.

All 5 of your direct reports met or exceeded their performance goals, and none left the company during the year, showing strong team leadership.

Strategic Influence & Trusted Advisor Status
How often senior leaders (VPs, MDs) proactively seek your input on major international business decisions, and your ability to shape their thinking.
  • You're regularly invited to senior leadership planning meetings without prompting. Your opinions are sought on critical hires or resource allocation decisions. Your recommendations are frequently adopted, even when initially challenging.
Team Leadership & Development
Your effectiveness in building a high-performing, engaged, and skilled strategy team, fostering a culture of rigorous analysis and impactful delivery.
  • Your team members consistently feel supported, challenged, and see clear growth paths. They're confident presenting their work. You've successfully mentored at least one team member into a more senior role or significantly expanded their capabilities.
Clarity of Vision & Communication
Your ability to distil incredibly complex market dynamics and strategic options into clear, concise, and persuasive narratives for executive audiences.
  • Senior leaders consistently praise your presentations for their clarity and actionable insights. You can explain a multi-year strategy in a few sentences, and people 'get it' immediately. Your team's documents are known for their logical flow and strong storytelling.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Shaping the Future

You get a real buzz from seeing your team's strategic recommendations directly influence where the company invests its resources and how it competes globally. You're excited by the idea of leaving a lasting mark on the business's trajectory.

Leading the project that results in a successful new market entry, knowing your team's analysis directly led to that decision and its subsequent £10M revenue impact.

Leading and Developing Talent

You genuinely enjoy coaching, mentoring, and seeing your team members grow. You're motivated by building a high-performing team and helping individuals achieve their full potential, both within your team and beyond.

One of your Senior Strategists gets promoted to Lead Strategist, directly attributing their growth to your guidance and the challenging projects you assigned.

Solving Complex, Ambiguous Problems

The more unstructured and challenging the international business problem, the more engaged you become. You thrive on taking a vague executive question and leading your team to break it down, analyse it, and present a clear path forward.

Tackling a project to understand how geopolitical shifts in Eastern Europe might impact our supply chain and developing a resilient strategy to mitigate risks.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with the 'Ivory Tower' stigma from operational teams who think your team doesn't understand the 'real' business.
  • Watching your bold, clear strategic recommendations get diluted into risk-averse compromises by various committees.
  • Experiencing 'analysis paralysis' where project scopes continually expand, and your team spends months analysing without a decision.
  • The constant struggle to get critical data from internal 'gatekeepers' who view your team's requests as low priority.
  • Having a brilliant strategic plan approved, but then seeing zero funding or resources allocated to actually execute it.
  • The 'urgent' CEO fire drill that completely derails your team's planned work for a week or more.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, routine work schedule – expect urgent requests and shifting priorities.
  • Full control over execution – your role is to set the strategy, not necessarily to implement every detail.
  • Guaranteed immediate gratification – strategic impact often takes months or years to materialise.
  • A quiet, solitary analytical role – you'll be leading people and influencing others constantly.

6Who you work with

You'll directly shape the strategic direction and capabilities of our International Business Global function. This means influencing where we invest, which markets we enter, and how we compete globally. Your team's output will directly impact our international market share, revenue growth, and overall long-term profitability. Honestly, your decisions here can mean the difference between a successful new market entry and a costly failure.

Inside the business
  • Director of Global Strategy (your boss)
  • VPs of Business Units (e.g., Sales, Product, Operations for International)
  • Regional Managing Directors (MDs) across different countries
  • Finance leadership (CFO, Head of Commercial Finance)
  • Legal and Compliance teams (for international expansion)
Outside the business
  • External market research firms
  • Consulting partners (when we bring them in for specific projects)
  • Key industry analysts

7What you need before you start

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

  • A proven track record of 10+ years in strategy consulting (e.g., Engagement Manager or Project Leader) or in-house corporate strategy roles (e.g., Senior Strategy Manager).
  • Demonstrable experience leading complex, cross-functional strategic projects from problem definition to recommendation and influencing implementation.
  • At least 3-5 years of direct people management experience, including coaching and developing a team of strategists.
  • Exceptional executive communication and presentation skills, with a history of influencing senior leadership decisions.
  • Deep expertise in at least 3-4 of the core domain skills listed above, applied in an international business context.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Data Governance & Ethics (Global)

With increasing data volumes and international regulations, understanding how to govern data effectively and ethically across different jurisdictions is paramount. This isn't just a compliance issue; it's a strategic differentiator.

Data lineage and quality frameworks · Cross-border data transfer regulations · Ethical AI and data usage guidelines · Data sovereignty implications for cloud strategy · Building a data-driven culture within the strategy

  • This quarter: Work with our Legal team to understand the latest data regulations impacting our key international markets.

  • Month 6: Develop a 'data ethics' checklist for your team's strategic projects.
  • Month 9: Champion a project to improve data quality for one critical strategic data set.

Quick win: Ensure all your team's data sources are clearly documented, including their origin, last update, and any known limitations.

Strategic Platform & Ecosystem Architecture

Understanding how to strategically design and integrate platforms and ecosystems (both internal and external) to create competitive advantage. This moves beyond just 'using' tools to 'architecting' how they fit into our global strategy.

Microservices architecture (strategic implications · API-first strategy for partnerships · Cloud-native strategy for global scalability · Vendor lock-in risks and mitigation · Open source strategy and community engagement

  • This quarter: Spend time with our enterprise architects to understand our current and future tech stack strategy.
  • Next quarter: Identify one strategic initiative where platform thinking could unlock significant value.
  • Month 6: Lead a discussion with your team on how our technology choices impact our long-term strategic options.
  • Month 9: Propose a strategic partnership that leverages a platform approach to enter a new market.

Quick win: Familiarise yourself with the core principles of platform business models and how they create network effects.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly reading leading business publications (e.g., Harvard Business Review, The Economist, Financial Times) to stay on top of global trends.
  • Attending industry conferences or strategic leadership summits to network and gather new insights.
  • Participating in executive education programmes focused on global strategy, digital transformation, or leadership.
  • Mentoring junior talent outside your direct team, or even external to the company, to hone your coaching 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: Advanced AI for Strategic Foresight & Risk Modelling

Beyond basic AI tools, the ability to use more sophisticated AI models for predictive analytics, identifying 'black swan' events, and building complex risk models is becoming non-negotiable. Competitors are already using this to anticipate market shifts and mitigate risks faster. As a manager, you'll need to direct your team in this.

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 Global Strategy Manager 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

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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real: strategy work is demanding. It's often buried under mountains of research, data synthesis, and presentation drafting. But what if your team could reclaim a significant chunk of that time, focusing instead on deeper insights and bigger strategic moves? That's exactly what AI can do for a Global Strategy Manager and their team.

We're not talking about replacing human strategists; we're talking about giving your team superpowers. Imagine AI handling the grunt work, freeing up your Lead and Senior Strategists to tackle the truly complex, nuanced challenges that only human brains can solve. This isn't just about individual productivity; it's about elevating your entire team's strategic output and impact.

Automated Competitor Intelligence

Imagine AI agents continuously scanning competitor earnings calls, press releases, and product launches across all international markets. Your team gets a weekly, synthesised intelligence briefing, highlighting key moves and potential threats, without spending hours manually digging through reports. You'll use this to direct your team's focus.

Accelerated Market Trend Analysis

Feed thousands of international customer reviews, social media comments, and industry reports into a large language model. It'll identify emerging trends, risks, and sentiment shifts faster than any human team could. This means your team can spot the next big international opportunity or threat in days, not weeks, giving you a serious competitive edge.

Rapid Research Synthesis & Executive Summaries

Your team spends ages summarising dense, 100-page market research reports or complex international regulatory documents. With AI assistants, they can get a one-page executive summary with key data points in minutes. This frees them up to focus on the 'so what' and the strategic implications, not just the 'what'.

First-Draft Narrative Generation for Presentations

Give an AI model your key data points, charts, and the desired strategic outcome. It can generate a surprisingly good first draft of a PowerPoint presentation or strategy memo. This means your team starts with a strong foundation, allowing them to focus on refining the story, adding nuanced insights, and perfecting the executive message, rather than staring at a blank slide.

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 Global Strategy Manager, 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 3 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 Global Strategy Manager: 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

You could move into senior strategy roles in other global industries, transition into private equity or venture capital, or even start your own venture.
