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.

System Uptime & Stability
Ensuring our core learning platforms (LMS, DAP) are available and functioning correctly for all users.
Target · 99.9% uptime for critical learning platforms during business hours.

In Q2, the LMS had 2 hours of unplanned downtime across 500 business hours, resulting in 99.6% uptime. Your goal is to keep this above 99.9%.

Complex Ticket Resolution Time
How quickly you resolve escalated technical support tickets that junior admins can't handle.
Target · Resolve 90% of escalated Tier 2/3 tickets within 8 business hours.

Last month, you closed 27 out of 30 escalated tickets within the 8-hour target, which is 90%.

Automation & Process Efficiency Gains
The measurable reduction in manual effort due to automation rules or process improvements you implement.
Target · Reduce manual administrative tasks by 15% across the L&D team annually.

Automating the new hire enrolment process saved the team roughly 5 hours per week, totalling 250 hours annually, contributing to the 15% target.

Learning Data Accuracy & Reporting Reliability
The consistency and trustworthiness of the data coming out of our learning systems, especially for key business reports.
Target · Achieve less than 2% error rate in critical monthly and quarterly learning reports.

After implementing new data validation rules, the Q3 compliance report showed only 1 discrepancy in 500 records, a 0.2% error rate.

Proactive Problem Identification & Prevention
You're not just fixing problems, you're spotting trends and preventing future issues before they blow up.
  • You'll regularly present root cause analyses for recurring issues, propose and implement preventative measures, and identify potential system conflicts during upgrades. Your manager and colleagues will often say, 'Good catch, I didn't even see that coming.'
Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing
How well you support and upskill junior members of the team, helping them grow their technical capabilities.
  • Junior admins will regularly come to you for advice. You'll lead training sessions on new features or complex troubleshooting. Your code reviews will be constructive and helpful. Feedback from your manager will highlight your positive impact on team capability.
Stakeholder Trust & Collaboration
How effectively you work with IT, HR, and business leads, building trust and getting everyone on the same page.
  • IT will proactively involve you in system discussions. HR will rely on your expertise for data mapping. Business leaders will appreciate your clear explanations of technical limitations and solutions. You'll be seen as a reliable, expert partner, not just a ticket resolver.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You'll get a real kick out of diagnosing a tricky LMS integration error or figuring out why a specific report isn't pulling the right data. It's like being a detective for our learning systems, and you love finding the culprit.

Spending an afternoon debugging an xAPI statement that wasn't correctly recording completion for a specific course, then implementing a fix that prevents it for all future content.

Creating Order from Chaos

You'll genuinely enjoy tidying up messy data, streamlining a clunky process, or implementing a new naming convention that makes everything clearer and more efficient. You like seeing things organised and working smoothly.

Developing a new, standardised process for course archiving and deletion, then rolling it out to the team, resulting in a cleaner, faster LMS.

Empowering Others Through Technology

You'll feel rewarded when you help a colleague finally get their report to work, or when you build an automation that saves the L&D team hours of manual work. Seeing your technical solutions directly improve someone's day is a big win for you.

Building an interactive Power BI dashboard that allows programme managers to self-serve their learning data, freeing them from waiting for manual reports.

What frustrates people
  • Inheriting a messy, decade-old LMS with no consistent naming conventions and thousands of 'zombie' courses.
  • Being the default 'IT Helpdesk' for the L&D department, getting blamed for everything from a slow network to a user forgetting their password.
  • The constant battle between IT Security's 'lock everything down' mandate and L&D's need for flexible, engaging tools that often live in the cloud.
  • Manually enrolling and tracking 5,000 employees for mandatory compliance training because the one-off requirements don't fit the system's automation rules.
  • Explaining to a senior leader for the fifth time why their 'simple request' for a report requires a complex data query that will take two days, not two hours.
  • Chasing instructional designers for their final, tested SCORM packages the day before a major programme launch.
  • Discovering that the 'clean' data from the HRIS feed is missing critical information (like department or manager) for half the new hires.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely strategic role with no hands-on technical work.
  • A role where you're always building new content from scratch.
  • A completely predictable day-to-day routine; urgent issues will pop up.
  • A role where you won't have to deal with legacy systems or imperfect data.

6Who you work with

Your work directly impacts colleague productivity, compliance adherence, and the overall effectiveness of our learning programmes. A well-optimised learning ecosystem means colleagues can access essential training without friction, leading to faster skill development and better business outcomes. Conversely, system failures or poor data can lead to significant operational disruptions, compliance risks, and a frustrated workforce.

Inside the business
  • Learning & Development Team (Instructional Designers, Programme Managers)
  • IT Security & Infrastructure Teams
  • HR Operations & People Analytics
  • Department Heads (e.g., Sales, Product, Engineering)
  • Senior Leaders who need critical reports
Outside the business
  • LMS/LXP Vendor Support Teams
  • Digital Adoption Platform Vendor Support Teams
  • Content Providers (e.g., LinkedIn Learning, external courseware vendors)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (5+ years) in a dedicated learning technology or L&D operations role, with a strong focus on system administration and support.
  • Demonstrable experience leading UAT cycles for system upgrades or new feature implementations.
  • Solid track record of designing and implementing automation rules within an LMS or similar platform.
  • Experience mentoring junior team members or providing informal guidance.
  • A strong understanding of data structures and experience building reports/dashboards from complex datasets.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced LMS/LXP API Integration & Scripting

Many routine tasks and complex data flows can't be handled by out-of-the-box automation. Understanding how to use APIs and write custom scripts (e.g., Python, PowerShell) to connect our LMS with other systems, automate complex user provisioning, or extract specific data will become crucial for truly optimising our ecosystem.

RESTful API Principles · JSON Data Structures · Basic Scripting (Python/PowerShell) · Error Handling & Logging · OAuth 2.0 & API Security

  • This week: Identify one simple, repetitive manual task in the LMS that *could* be automated via API (e.g., updating user profiles).
  • This month: Complete an online 'Python for Beginners' or 'PowerShell Scripting' course, focusing on API interactions.
  • Month 2: Using the LMS API documentation, attempt to write a simple script to perform your identified task (e.g., retrieve a user's profile).
  • Month 3: Work with your manager to identify a low-risk, high-reward automation project using API scripting and get it implemented.

Quick win: Explore the LMS vendor's API documentation. Just understanding what's possible will open up new ideas for automation, even if you don't write code yet.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry conferences or webinars focused on learning technologies (e.g., Learning Technologies UK, DevLearn).
  • Participating in online communities or forums for LMS administrators and learning technologists.
  • Completing advanced courses on data analytics, business intelligence tools (Power BI, Tableau), or basic scripting (Python/SQL).
  • Seeking out opportunities to lead small, internal projects focused on system improvements or automation.
  • Mentoring a junior colleague, even informally, to solidify your own understanding and leadership 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 Senior Performance Support Administrator 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:

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, a lot of the 'admin' in Performance Support can be a drag. But what if you could offload some of that repetitive work to smart AI tools? We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you a superpower. Imagine spending less time on manual tasks and more time on the really interesting stuff – like solving complex system problems or designing clever automations. That's what AI can do for you here.

Our team is actively exploring and integrating AI tools to make our work more efficient and impactful. As a Senior Performance Support Administrator, you'll be at the forefront of using these technologies to streamline operations, provide better support, and gain deeper insights from our learning data. We've even got an internal AI Productivity Hub with guides and tools to get you started.

Intelligent Ticket Triage & Resolution

AI can analyse incoming support emails and tickets, categorising issues (like 'login problem' or 'course access error') and even drafting instant replies with links to relevant knowledge base articles. This could deflect up to 40% of those common, repetitive Tier 1 tickets, freeing you up for the trickier stuff.

Predictive Learning Analytics

Move beyond just reporting what happened. AI can help identify 'at-risk' learners who might drop out of a programme based on their engagement patterns. It can then suggest automated, personalised nudges to help them get back on track, giving you a massive head start on programme effectiveness.

Smart Content Curation

Imagine an AI assistant that scans our internal documents (Confluence, SharePoint) and external sources (articles, videos) to suggest relevant, up-to-date content for learning pathways. It can also flag outdated materials for your review, saving you hours of manual searching and content auditing.

Automated User Communications

Need to draft a system announcement, an outage notification, or a guide for a new feature? AI can generate clear, friendly drafts in minutes. Just give it a few bullet points, and it'll produce an email that's ready for a quick human review, saving you significant writing time.

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 Senior Performance Support Administrator, 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 10 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 Senior Performance Support Administrator: 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.
