1What this role really is

This role is all about keeping the gears turning in our global innovation programmes. You'll be the person making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, helping our intrapreneurs get their ideas off the ground. Think of yourself as the central nervous system for our early-stage ventures, making sure the right information gets to the right people at the right time. It's a fantastic spot to learn the ropes of corporate innovation.

2What you'd actually use

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

Idea Management Platform (e.g., IdeaScale, Brightidea)Intermediate

Launching pre-defined campaigns, moderating idea submissions, pulling standard engagement reports, and guiding users through the platform's basic functions.

Collaboration Suite (e.g., Miro, Mural, Notion)Intermediate

Setting up boards from templates for workshops, documenting meeting outputs, and managing permissions for project spaces to keep things organised.

Project/Task Management (e.g., Asana, Jira, Monday.com)Intermediate

Connecting to pre-cleaned data sources (like Excel or Google Sheets) and building simple charts or dashboards from existing templates to show basic programme metrics.

Communication Platform (e.g., Slack, MS Teams)Intermediate

Managing channels, using basic integrations (like polls), and ensuring clear communication within project teams and the wider innovation community.

Financial Planning & Reporting (e.g., Excel/Sheets)Basic

Tracking small team budgets in spreadsheets and assisting with expense reporting for programme activities. You'll be making sure the numbers add up.

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
Platform Configuration (e.g., new campaign setup)Execute setup using existing templates, all changes reviewed by manager.Independently configure standard campaigns, consult manager on new features or complex workflows.Design and implement complex platform workflows, define best practices, approve configurations.
Communication with IntrapreneursRespond to basic 'how-to' questions, escalate anything complex or sensitive to manager.Independently address most intrapreneur queries, provide guidance on programme processes.Develop communication strategies, handle sensitive feedback, represent the programme to teams.
Process ImprovementIdentify potential inefficiencies and suggest improvements to manager.Propose and implement minor process improvements within own scope, get manager approval for significant changes.Design and implement major process overhauls, lead working groups for process optimisation.

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.

Platform Data Accuracy
Ensuring all idea submissions, team details, and project statuses are correctly entered and updated in our idea management platform.
Target · 99% accuracy across all entries

If 100 new ideas are submitted, you'll ensure only one (or fewer) has incorrect tagging or missing information after your review.

Timely Task Completion
Completing assigned administrative and support tasks (e.g., scheduling, report compilation) by agreed deadlines.
Target · 95% of tasks completed on time

If you're asked to compile a weekly activity report by end-of-day Friday, you'll have it ready before then, most of the time.

Workshop & Meeting Logistics
Successfully organising the practical elements for innovation workshops and team meetings, from room bookings to sending out invites.
Target · Zero logistical issues for organised events

Booking a room for a workshop, making sure the projector works, and sending out calendar invites with the correct links – all without a hitch.

Adherence to Process & Guidelines
Following established procedures and templates for all tasks, ensuring consistency and quality across our programmes.
  • Your work consistently follows our documented processes. You'll use the right templates for reports and communications. Your manager won't need to remind you about standard operating procedures.
Proactive Learning & Asking Questions
Actively seeking to understand our innovation methodologies and asking clarifying questions when unsure, rather than making assumptions.
  • You'll ask 'why' questions about processes. You'll bring up potential issues before they become problems. You'll be taking notes during training and applying what you've learned.
Helpfulness & Team Support
Being a reliable and approachable point of contact for intrapreneurs and colleagues, offering practical assistance where needed.
  • Teams will come to you with basic platform questions. Colleagues will say you're easy to work with. You'll offer to help with small tasks when you have capacity.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Learning & Growth

You'll be constantly exposed to new ideas, methodologies, and technologies. You'll get to see how a large organisation fosters innovation from the inside, which is a rare opportunity.

Spending time shadowing a senior colleague during a strategy session, or taking an online course on Design Thinking in your own time because you're genuinely interested.

Contributing to Something New

You'll be directly supporting teams who are building the next big thing for our company. Even small tasks you do contribute to bringing those ideas to life.

Seeing an idea you helped track from submission get funding and move to the next stage, knowing your accurate data helped make that decision possible.

Being Part of a Supportive Team

Our innovation team is collaborative and keen to help each other succeed. You'll have plenty of guidance and support as you learn the ropes.

Your manager regularly checks in with you, and colleagues are always happy to answer your questions or help you out when you're stuck.

What frustrates people
  • Chasing people for information or updates, even when you've sent multiple reminders.
  • Dealing with messy or incomplete data submissions that need a lot of clean-up.
  • The feeling that some projects you support might not actually go anywhere.
  • Learning new platforms and processes that aren't always perfectly intuitive.
What this role does not give you
  • High-level strategic decision-making authority.
  • Direct management of people or large budgets.
  • A completely predictable, routine day (there will be urgent requests).
  • The chance to lead your own intrapreneurial venture (not yet, anyway!).

6Who you work with

This role directly supports the smooth running of our innovation programmes. If you keep things organised and accurate, it means our intrapreneurs can focus on their ideas, and our programme leads can make better decisions. You're essentially the backbone that keeps the innovation process from falling over, ensuring that the early stages of new ventures are well-managed and set up for success.

Inside the business
  • Intrapreneurial teams (the people with the ideas)
  • Innovation Programme Leads (who design the challenges)
  • Regional Innovation Ambassadors (local champions)
  • IT Support (for platform issues)
Outside the business
  • Innovation platform vendors (e.g., IdeaScale support)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven organisational skills, perhaps from a previous administrative role or managing complex personal projects.
  • Experience using standard office software (e.g., Microsoft Office Suite or Google Workspace) for document creation, spreadsheets, and presentations.
  • A genuine interest in technology and innovation, demonstrated through personal projects, online courses, or simply a keen curiosity.
  • The ability to work effectively in a team, contributing positively and openly communicating challenges.

8What to practise next

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

Basic Data Storytelling

It's not enough to just pull data; you need to be able to explain what it means. As AI helps with data collection, your value shifts to interpreting and communicating insights clearly to different audiences.

Audience Awareness · Key Message Identification · Visualisation Best Practices

  • This month: When you compile a report, try to write a one-paragraph summary of the 'so what?' for your manager.
  • Next quarter: Ask your manager if you can present a small section of a report in a team meeting, focusing on a key insight.
  • Month 3-6: Take an online course on data visualisation or storytelling. There are plenty of free ones out there.

Quick win: For any data you present, always add a simple sentence explaining what the main point is. Don't just show the numbers.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending internal innovation workshops and webinars to learn about our methodologies firsthand.
  • Taking online courses on platforms like Coursera or edX in areas like Design Thinking or Lean Startup principles.
  • Reading books or articles on corporate innovation and intrapreneurship to deepen your understanding of the field.
  • Seeking out opportunities to shadow more senior colleagues to observe how they manage programmes and interact with stakeholders.

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 International Intrapreneurship Coordinator 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.

Where it leads

Roles this leads to

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

Start free and meet yours

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.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of the foundational work in innovation can be repetitive. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work to AI? Imagine having more time to actually learn the exciting bits of innovation, rather than just chasing data.

We're not just talking about theory here. Our team actively uses AI to make our lives easier, and you'll be trained on how to use these tools from day one. This isn't about replacing you; it's about giving you superpowers to be more effective and focus on the interesting parts of the job.

Idea Triage & Routing Assistant

During a big innovation challenge, you might get hundreds of ideas. Instead of manually reading every single one, you'll use AI to automatically tag ideas by strategic theme, spot duplicates, and route them to the right expert for a quick review. This means less sifting, more learning.

Thematic Summary Generator

Imagine needing to summarise the key trends from 50 different intrapreneurial project updates. AI can quickly analyse all that text and give you the core themes and insights, saving you hours of reading and synthesis. You'll then review and refine these summaries, learning to spot the nuances.

Basic Research Buddy

When an intrapreneur asks for quick background on a market or a competitor, you can use an AI agent to pull initial data on competitive landscapes or market sizes. It's like having a super-fast research assistant for those preliminary checks, giving you a head start.

Smart Communication Drafter

Need to send out a weekly reminder to teams to update their project status? Or perhaps draft a thank you note to workshop participants? Generative AI can help you quickly draft clear, concise emails and messages, which you'll then personalise and send. It makes routine comms a breeze.

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 International Intrapreneurship Coordinator, 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 5 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 an Associate International Intrapreneurship Coordinator: 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.

Other roles in Innovation Intrapreneurship

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here – programme coordination, stakeholder management, digital platform expertise, and an understanding of innovation methodologies – are highly transferable.
