1What this role really is

You're the person who makes sure our internal teams have the right information, right when they need it. Think of yourself as a detective and a storyteller rolled into one. You'll dig out crucial 'how-to' knowledge from our experts and then turn it into clear, easy-to-find guides and articles. This isn't just about tidying up; it's about making our colleagues more effective and less frustrated. You'll own specific chunks of our knowledge base, keeping them fresh, accurate, and genuinely useful for everyone in your region.

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

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.

Content Usage & Engagement
How often your owned content is viewed and interacted with by users.
Target · Achieve a 15% quarter-on-quarter increase in views for owned content areas and maintain an average 'Was this helpful?' score of 85% or higher.

If your 'Onboarding for New Sales Reps' section had 500 views last quarter, we'd aim for 575+ this quarter, with at least 85% positive feedback.

Content Freshness & Accuracy
Ensuring the information you manage is always up-to-date and correct.
Target · Maintain a 95% accuracy rate for all owned content, with no more than 5% of articles exceeding their scheduled review date.

You've got 100 articles in your domain; only 5 should be past their review date, and 95 must reflect current processes/products.

Search Success Rate (for owned content)
How often users find what they're looking for when searching within your content areas.
Target · Improve the ratio of successful searches (leading to content view) to total searches by 5% quarter-on-quarter.

If 70% of searches for 'CRM setup' currently lead to a relevant article, you'd aim for 73.5% next quarter by improving tags or content clarity.

SME Contribution & Responsiveness
How effectively you get subject matter experts to contribute and review content.
Target · Achieve an average SME review turnaround time of 3 working days for new content or updates, and increase the number of SME-initiated content submissions by 10% annually.

You send an article to a Product Manager for review on Monday; it should be back by Thursday. Plus, you'd want to see more experts proactively suggesting new articles.

Stakeholder Feedback & Trust
How much your internal clients (e.g., Sales, Support) rely on and value your knowledge content.
  • You'll know you're doing well when team leads proactively ask for your input on new initiatives, or when you get unsolicited positive feedback about how a guide you wrote saved someone a lot of time. They'll see you as the 'go-to' person for reliable information in your domain.
Proactive Content Identification
Your ability to spot knowledge gaps before they become major problems.
  • This looks like you identifying a need for a new guide based on recurring questions in Teams, or spotting a trend in support tickets, then taking the initiative to create that content without being asked. It's about being ahead of the curve, not just reactive.
Clarity & Accessibility of Content
How easy your content is to understand and navigate for a diverse audience.
  • When new hires tell you the onboarding materials were genuinely helpful, or when a non-technical sales person can easily understand a complex product feature explanation you've written. It's about breaking down jargon and making information digestible for everyone.
Adherence to Governance Standards
How well you follow our established rules for content creation, review, and archiving.
  • Your content consistently uses the correct templates, follows our style guide, has proper metadata, and is archived promptly when outdated. It shows you respect the system and contribute to its overall health.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Difference

You'll get a real kick out of seeing your content being used and knowing it's directly helping someone solve a problem or learn something new. That 'aha!' moment for a colleague, thanks to your work, is what drives you.

Getting an email from a sales rep saying, 'That new pricing guide you wrote saved me an hour today, thanks!'

Solving Puzzles & Organising Chaos

You enjoy the challenge of taking messy, unorganised information and turning it into something structured, logical, and easy to navigate. It's like being a librarian for the digital age, but with more detective work.

Successfully categorising a complex product update across multiple dimensions so everyone can find exactly what they need, whether they're in sales, support, or product.

Continuous Learning & Growth

You'll constantly be learning about different parts of our business, our products, and our processes as you capture knowledge from various experts. If you love variety and expanding your own understanding, you'll thrive.

Spending a morning interviewing a new product manager about an upcoming feature, then an afternoon with a support lead discussing common customer pain points – always learning something new.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Librarian' Stereotype: Constantly fighting the perception that you're just a wiki janitor, not a strategic partner.
  • SME Apathy: Your biggest challenge. Busy experts often prioritise other tasks over documenting their knowledge.
  • The Black Hole of Local Drives: Discovering brilliant knowledge hidden away on private drives or chat channels.
  • Proving ROI: It's genuinely hard to draw a straight line from 'updated article' to '£500,000 saved', even when you know it's true.
  • The 'I'll Document It Later' Culture: People promise, but rarely deliver after the crisis passes.
  • Conflicting Taxonomies: Departments insisting on different, incompatible ways of organising information.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, solitary role: You'll be talking to people constantly.
  • Immediate, dramatic results: Knowledge sharing is a long game, built on consistent effort.
  • Full control over content creation: You're often dependent on others to provide the core information.
  • A strictly defined, unchanging routine: You'll need to adapt to new priorities and information needs.

6Who you work with

Your work directly improves operational efficiency and reduces friction for our regional teams. Better knowledge means faster problem-solving, more consistent service, and a much smoother experience for everyone. You're essentially building the intellectual infrastructure that helps the business run.

Inside the business
  • Regional Sales Teams (for sales enablement content)
  • Customer Support Teams (for internal support articles)
  • Product Teams (for product knowledge and updates)
  • Marketing Teams (for consistent messaging)
  • Learning & Development (for onboarding materials)
  • Other Knowledge Sharing Coordinators (for sharing best practices)
Outside the business
  • Rarely directly, but your work impacts our customers through better-informed frontline staff.

7What you need before you start

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

  • At least 2 years of experience in a content creation, documentation, or internal communications role, ideally within a corporate setting.
  • Demonstrable experience writing and editing clear, concise content for a varied audience.
  • Proven ability to work independently and manage multiple content projects simultaneously.
  • Experience with at least one major knowledge base platform (e.g., Confluence, SharePoint, Zendesk Guide) or similar CMS.
  • A portfolio or examples of your written work (e.g., internal guides, process documents, FAQs) would be a huge plus.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Knowledge Base Configuration

As our knowledge base grows, simply adding content isn't enough. You'll need to understand how to tweak the platform settings to improve user experience, search relevance, and content governance.

Custom Content Types · Permission Schemes · Workflow Automation · Integration Basics

  • This week: Explore the admin settings of our current Confluence/SharePoint instance (if you have access) to see what's possible.
  • This month: Take an online course on advanced Confluence administration or SharePoint site management.
  • Month 2: Propose a small improvement to our current knowledge base configuration to your manager, like a new template or a refined permission setting.
  • Month 3: Document a 'how-to' guide for other coordinators on a specific advanced configuration task.

Quick win: Familiarise yourself with all the macro options in Confluence or web parts in SharePoint. You'll be surprised what you can do with them to make content more engaging.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars or virtual conferences on Knowledge Management or Technical Communication.
  • Joining online communities or forums dedicated to Knowledge Management professionals to learn from peers.
  • Reading relevant books or articles on information architecture, content strategy, or change management.
  • Taking online courses on advanced writing, editing, or specific tools like Articulate Rise 360 (for future content creation).

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 Regional Knowledge Sharing 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.

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:

One to one, not one to many

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

Imagine having a super-smart assistant who helps you write, organise, and analyse information faster than ever before. That's what AI can do for you in this role. It's not about replacing your brain, but giving you superpowers to focus on the truly human parts of the job.

In Knowledge Management, AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a practical tool that can seriously speed up your day-to-day. You'll be using it to cut down on tedious tasks, letting you focus more on the strategic work of connecting people with the knowledge they need.

Automated Content Creation & Summarisation

Use AI to draft first versions of articles, FAQs, or process summaries from raw inputs like meeting transcripts or technical documents. It'll save you hours of staring at a blank page. You'll then refine and add the human touch.

Knowledge Gap Analysis

Instead of manually sifting through search logs and support tickets, use AI-powered text analytics to automatically spot themes and identify what users are looking for but can't find. This turns a tedious task into an automated insight report, showing you exactly where to focus your efforts.

Intelligent Tagging & Curation

Implement AI services that automatically suggest or apply metadata tags (taxonomy terms) to new content as it's created. This ensures consistency, improves findability, and means you spend less time manually categorising everything.

Semantic Search Enhancement

Work with our tech teams to use AI-powered semantic search. This helps our knowledge base understand the *intent* behind a user's query, not just keywords, giving more relevant answers to natural language questions. It's a game-changer for user experience.

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 Regional Knowledge Sharing 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 7 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 Regional Knowledge Sharing 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 Knowledge Management

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

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here—content strategy, information architecture, stakeholder engagement, and process design—are highly transferable.
