We see you

You sometimes wonder if AI will make your role less hands-on, but deep down, you know that human insight can't be replaced by algorithms. The tools may change, but your knack for connecting the dots remains invaluable.

1What this role really is

This role is all about getting stuck into the nuts and bolts of how our company defines what skills people need to do their jobs well. You'll be the person helping to build and keep track of our 'skills map' – basically, a big catalogue of all the important abilities our teams use. It's a foundational role, meaning you'll learn the ropes from the ground up, supporting the team that makes sure everyone knows what good looks like and how to get better.

2A day in the life

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

08:45

You start your day by gathering job descriptions and training materials, setting the stage for updating the skills map.

11:30

Mid-morning, you input new skill definitions into the HRIS, ensuring everything aligns with the latest standards.

14:00

After lunch, you run a basic report to pull current employee profiles, helping the team assess our organisational capabilities.

16:15

You wrap up the day by preparing materials for tomorrow's stakeholder interview, making sure you've got all the right questions.

3What you'd actually use

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

HRIS (Workday HCM / SAP SuccessFactors)Basic

Pulling basic reports, navigating employee profiles, entering data related to skills or learning assignments, understanding the basic structure of skills data.

Talent Intelligence Platform (Eightfold AI / Gloat)Basic

Searching for internal candidates based on skills, navigating the platform to view existing skill profiles, understanding how the platform uses skill data.

Data Visualization (Tableau / Power BI)Intermediate

Interpreting and filtering pre-built dashboards to answer specific questions about capability distribution or learning engagement. You won't be building them yet, but you'll use them.

Survey & Assessment Tools (Qualtrics / SurveyMonkey Enterprise)Intermediate

Deploying pre-designed surveys to specific groups, managing distribution lists, and exporting raw data for analysis by senior team members.

Collaboration & Mapping Tools (Miro / Lucidchart)Expert

Using these tools to document, update, and iterate on framework designs, often based on instructions from senior team members. You'll be moving virtual sticky notes around and connecting ideas.

LMS / LXP (Cornerstone OnDemand / Degreed)Basic

Tagging and mapping learning content (courses, articles) to the corresponding capabilities in our framework, ensuring our learning resources are discoverable and relevant.

Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)Intermediate

Organising data in Excel, drafting documents in Word, and helping to prepare simple slides in PowerPoint for internal team updates.

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 choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Framework Definition Changes	Escalate to Senior Specialist for review and approval.	Propose changes to Senior Specialist, get sign-off from relevant leads.	Make technical decisions within project scope, consult Director on strategic impact.
Content Mapping Decisions	Follow established guidelines; escalate unclear cases to Senior Specialist.	Make routine mapping decisions; propose new mapping rules for review.	Define content mapping standards and approve exceptions.
Data Reporting & Extraction	Execute specific report requests; flag any data anomalies to supervisor.	Independently run standard reports; propose new report formats.	Design and build complex dashboards; define key reporting metrics.
Process Improvement Suggestions	Suggest ideas to supervisor; participate in team discussions.	Propose and document minor process improvements for team review.	Lead process improvement initiatives for specific workstreams.

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 Entry Accuracy

How accurately you input data into our skills management systems (e.g., mapping learning content, updating skill definitions).

Target · 98% accuracy rate

If you're mapping 100 learning courses to skills, we'd expect no more than 2 errors in how they're tagged or described.

Documentation Completion & Timeliness

Completing assigned documentation tasks (e.g., updating framework guides, meeting notes) on time.

Target · 100% of assigned documentation completed by deadline

If you're asked to summarise notes from a stakeholder interview and upload them by Friday, we expect that to be done.

Learning Content Mapping Volume

The number of learning assets (courses, articles) you successfully map to our capability framework each week.

Target · Map 20-30 learning assets per week, depending on complexity

Successfully tagging 25 online courses with their relevant skills and proficiency levels in Degreed by end of week.

Reporting & Data Extraction Accuracy

How accurately you pull basic reports from our HR or talent systems when asked.

Target · Zero errors in data extracted for routine requests

When asked to pull a list of all employees with 'Project Management' skill, the list should be complete and accurate.

Proactive Learning & Engagement

How much you actively try to understand the capability framework, ask questions, and seek out learning opportunities.

Asking thoughtful questions during team meetings, completing suggested training modules, bringing up ideas for process improvements, actively participating in discussions about framework design.

Attention to Detail

Your ability to spot small inconsistencies or errors in data, definitions, or documentation before they become bigger problems.

Catching a typo in a skill definition, noticing a discrepancy in a report, flagging an outdated piece of information in a framework document, consistently producing clean and accurate work.

Collaboration & Team Support

How well you work with others in the team, offering help and being responsive to requests.

Volunteering to help a colleague with a task, responding promptly to team messages, providing clear updates on your work, being open to feedback and suggestions from others.

Following Processes & Guidelines

Your ability to stick to the established ways of working and framework standards.

Consistently using the correct templates for documentation, adhering to data entry protocols, following the defined steps for content mapping, asking for clarification when unsure about a process.

6Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Learning & Development

You'll be surrounded by people who are experts in L&D and capability frameworks, and you'll get to learn directly from them every day. There's always something new to understand about how businesses work and how people learn.

You'll be excited to attend team training sessions, ask your manager about the 'why' behind a framework decision, or spend time exploring new features in our talent intelligence platform.

Making an Impact (indirectly)

While you won't be leading big projects, your accurate data entry, clear documentation, and diligent content mapping directly enable the team to deliver better programmes and insights. You're building the foundations for success.

Knowing that the accurate content mapping you did means someone can easily find the right course to develop a skill they need for a promotion.

Order & Structure

If you enjoy taking messy information and making it organised, this role will give you plenty of opportunities. You'll be working to create clear taxonomies and structured data.

You'll find satisfaction in categorising a large batch of skills, ensuring all definitions follow a consistent format, or tidying up an old spreadsheet of learning resources.

What frustrates people

Dealing with inconsistent data from different sources – it's often a bit messy.
The sheer volume of information that needs to be organised and categorised.
Sometimes, it feels like you're doing a lot of 'housekeeping' work for the framework.
Having to follow strict guidelines and templates, even if you think there's a 'better' way (at least initially).

What this role does not give you

Immediate strategic decision-making authority or leadership of large projects.
A role where you're constantly presenting to senior executives (not yet, anyway).
A 'wild west' environment where you can invent your own processes every day.
A job where you never have to deal with spreadsheets or detailed documentation.

7Who you work with

This role directly supports the creation of a clear, consistent language for skills across the company. It means we can better understand what skills we have, what we need, and how to get there. Essentially, you're helping us build a solid foundation for all our talent decisions, from hiring to promotions to what training we offer. Get it right, and people feel clearer about their career paths; get it wrong, and it's a bit of a mess.

Inside the business

Learning & Development Team (especially Programme Managers)
HR Business Partners (HRBPs)
Talent Acquisition Team
Departmental Managers (for data collection)

Outside the business

Learning content providers (for mapping existing content)
HRIS/Talent platform vendors (for basic support queries)

8What you need before you start

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

Demonstrable experience with data entry and maintaining organised records, perhaps from a previous administrative role or academic project.
Proven ability to follow detailed instructions and adhere to established processes.
A genuine interest in learning about how organisations define and develop skills, or how people learn and grow in their careers.
Strong written communication skills, shown through academic work, personal projects, or previous roles.
Basic proficiency with Microsoft Excel (or Google Sheets) for data organisation.
A collaborative mindset, happy to work as part of a team and contribute where needed.

9What to practise next

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

Advanced HRIS/Talent Platform Configuration

As you get more familiar with Workday or Eightfold, you'll need to understand how to do more than just pull reports. You'll need to help configure skill taxonomies, manage data fields, and troubleshoot basic issues.

Data Field Management · Taxonomy Configuration · Basic Troubleshooting · User Permissions

This quarter: Ask your supervisor to walk you through the admin side of Workday or Eightfold for 30 minutes, focusing on skill-related settings.
Next quarter: Take an online course or tutorial on basic configuration for our primary HRIS/Talent platform.
Month 6: Volunteer to help with a small configuration task, under close supervision, like adding a new skill category.
Ongoing: Regularly explore the platform's help documentation and support forums to deepen your knowledge.

Quick win: Ask your manager for read-only access to the admin side of our HRIS or talent platform. Just poking around and seeing how things are set up will teach you loads.

10Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Join relevant online communities or forums for L&D professionals to learn from others and stay updated on trends.
Attend webinars or virtual conferences on talent management, skills taxonomies, or learning technologies.
Read industry blogs and articles from thought leaders in the capability space (e.g., Josh Bersin, David Green).
Seek out internal mentorship opportunities with more senior L&D or HR professionals.
Take advantage of our internal learning platform to complete courses on data management, project support, or communication skills.

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 Capability Framework Specialist 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.

13The 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.

The Navigator

Big-picture guide

Your Navigator helps you see how each skill definition fits into the broader company strategy, guiding you to connect the dots between roles and capabilities.

The Coach

Real practice

Your Coach sets up scenarios where you refine skill definitions, offering feedback that sharpens your understanding of taxonomy design.

The Explorer

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:

Identify individual learning and development needsLevel 3

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.

Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
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.
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.
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

Let's be real, a lot of the initial work in building and maintaining a capability framework can be a bit repetitive. But here's the good news: AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to make those tedious bits faster and easier. Think of it as having a super-efficient assistant for the more manual parts of your job.

You'll learn how to use AI tools to speed up tasks like drafting skill definitions, mapping learning content, and even spotting emerging trends. This means you can spend less time on the boring stuff and more time actually learning, understanding, and contributing to the bigger picture. We'll show you how to use these tools safely and effectively.

Taxonomy Draft Assistant

Imagine feeding hundreds of job descriptions into a smart tool. It'll then give you a first draft of common skills and how they might be grouped. This saves you weeks of manual sorting at the start of a project, letting you focus on refining, not just creating from scratch.

Behavioural Anchor Wordsmith

Writing those precise descriptions of what 'Intermediate' looks like for a skill can be tricky. You can draft a rough idea, and an AI tool can instantly suggest 5-10 alternative phrasings, making them clearer, more measurable, and consistent with our style. It's like having a writing coach on demand.

Content Mapping Helper

Got a big library of online courses or articles? An AI tool can 'read' through them and suggest which capabilities from our framework each piece of content supports. This drastically cuts down the time you'd spend manually tagging everything, freeing you up for more interesting analysis.

Research & Summarisation

Need to quickly understand a new industry trend or a complex methodology? Use AI to summarise long reports or articles, pulling out the key points relevant to capability development. It's a huge time-saver for your learning and research tasks.

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 Capability Framework Specialist, 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 9 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 Capability Framework Specialist: 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.

16Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 2

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Learning and Development

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

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here—understanding how to define, measure, and develop skills—are highly valuable across almost any industry. Every company needs to understand its talent. You could move into consulting, other large corporations, or even specialise in a specific sector like tech or finance, applying your expertise in capability design.

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.
