1What this role really is

This role is all about running our internal executive coaching function. You'll be the one making sure our leaders get the support they need to really grow, from setting up the programmes to managing the coaches themselves. It's a blend of strategy, people management, and making sure we're getting real value from our coaching investment.

2What you'd actually use

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

Assessment Platforms (e.g., Hogan, LCP, CliftonStrengths)Strategic

You'll be evaluating and selecting assessment platforms for enterprise-wide use, making sure they integrate with our talent strategy. You'll also be using aggregate assessment data to build business cases for L&D investment and report ROI to the executive team.

Coaching Management Platforms (e.g., CoachLogix, Satori)Architect

You'll lead the implementation and configuration of our coaching management platform. This means using aggregate platform data to build business cases for L&D investment, report ROI to the executive team, and ensure it supports efficient programme delivery.

Collaboration Tools (e.g., Miro, Notion)Strategic

You'll establish best practices and templates for the entire coaching function using these tools. You'll also integrate them into the broader L&D workflow, for example, linking Notion to our Learning Management System for resource sharing.

Scheduling Automation (e.g., Calendly, Acuity)Strategic

You'll manage scheduling for your entire team of coaches, ensuring optimal utilisation and load balancing across all programmes. This means setting up complex workflows to ensure smooth client and coach experience.

HRIS / Talent Management Systems (e.g., Workday HCM, SAP SuccessFactors)Advanced

You'll actively use the HRIS to track the progression of leaders who've been coached, link coaching outcomes to performance ratings, and identify high-potential talent for future coaching programmes. This is about connecting coaching to real talent outcomes.

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
Programme Design & LaunchN/AN/AN/A
Budget Allocation (within function)N/AN/AFull authority up to £500K; consult Director for £500K-£2M; align with C-suite for anything above that.
Hiring & Performance Management (internal coaches)N/AN/AFull authority for your direct reports (3-8 coaches). This includes hiring, performance reviews, and any necessary disciplinary actions.
Vendor Selection & ContractingN/AN/AFull authority for vendor selection and contract negotiation up to £100K per vendor. Over £100K requires Director review, and over £250K needs C-suite approval.
Strategic Direction of Coaching FunctionN/AN/ASet vision and strategy, but align with Director, Leadership Development, and broader Talent Management strategy. Present to C-suite for major shifts.

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.

Leadership Bench Strength Improvement
Increase the percentage of 'ready now' internal candidates for critical leadership roles.
Target · 15% increase year-over-year

If we had 10 'ready now' candidates for VP roles last year, you'd aim for 11-12 this year, directly linking to leaders who've been through your coaching programmes.

Voluntary Turnover of Coached Leaders
Reduce the voluntary turnover rate among senior leaders who participate in executive coaching programmes.
Target · 10% lower than the company average for similar levels

If the overall senior leader turnover is 15%, you'd want to see it at 13.5% or less for those in your programmes. It shows they're feeling invested in.

Coaching Programme Utilisation & Efficiency
Track the percentage of allocated coaching hours that are actually delivered, and the cost-per-coachee.
Target · 90%+ utilisation; maintain or reduce cost-per-coachee by 5%

If you've budgeted for 1,000 coaching hours, you'd want to see at least 900 delivered. You'd also keep an eye on if you're spending £5,000 per coachee this year versus £5,250 last year.

Coaching Programme NPS (Net Promoter Score)
Measure overall satisfaction and likelihood to recommend the executive coaching programme.
Target · NPS of 60+ (Excellent)

An NPS of 65 means a strong majority of your coachees are enthusiastic advocates, which is a great sign of programme quality and impact.

Strategic Business Objective Alignment
Demonstrate how leadership development initiatives, including coaching, directly support 2-3 key strategic business objectives.
  • Regular reporting to the Director of L&D and senior leadership showing direct links between coaching goals and business outcomes (e.g., 'Coaching for X leader contributed to Y project's success'). This means you're not just running programmes, you're helping the business hit its goals.
HRBP & Sponsor Feedback
Positive, unsolicited feedback from HR Business Partners and sponsoring managers on the perceived impact of coaching on their leaders.
  • HRBPs proactively reach out to praise coaching outcomes, seek advice on new coaching engagements, and refer more leaders. Sponsoring managers report observable positive behavioural changes in their direct reports. They'll tell you 'John is actually delegating now!' or 'Sarah's presentations are much clearer'.
Internal Coach Development & Retention
The growth and engagement of your internal coaching team, and their ability to effectively deliver high-quality coaching.
  • Low turnover within your internal coaching team, positive feedback from coaches on their development opportunities, and their consistent ability to meet programme standards and client satisfaction targets. You'll see them actively seeking out new certifications and sharing best practices.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Building and Scaling Impactful Programmes

You'll get a real buzz from designing a new coaching offering, seeing it launch, and then watching the data come in that shows it's actually helping people and the business. This means refining processes, selecting the right coaches, and constantly looking for ways to improve.

You might spend a week designing a new 'onboarding coaching' programme for new VPs, then get stuck into selecting the coaches, and then eagerly await the first feedback surveys.

Developing Other Coaches

You'll enjoy mentoring your internal team, helping them refine their craft, solve tricky client situations, and grow their own coaching skills. Seeing your coaches thrive and deliver excellent results will be a big win for you.

This could look like regular 1:1s with your coaches, running group supervision sessions, or bringing in external experts for their development.

Strategic Influence & Business Impact

You're driven by the idea that your work directly contributes to the company's strategic goals. You'll enjoy presenting to senior leaders, making a case for coaching investment, and seeing your programmes directly support key business initiatives.

You might be preparing a presentation for the executive team, showing how coaching has reduced attrition in a critical department, leading to a new budget allocation for your programmes.

What frustrates people
  • Justifying the qualitative impact of coaching with hard numbers to a sceptical finance team.
  • Dealing with internal politics when allocating coaching resources or selecting coachees.
  • Managing external vendors who don't always meet expectations or adhere to our standards.
  • The sheer administrative load of running multiple coaching programmes simultaneously.
  • Getting buy-in from busy senior leaders for new programme initiatives or process changes.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely client-facing coaching role (you'll do some, but it's not the primary focus).
  • A role where you don't have to think about budgets or contracts.
  • A 'set it and forget it' kind of job – you'll be constantly optimising and adapting.
  • A quiet, predictable environment; you'll be juggling multiple priorities and stakeholders.

6Who you work with

This role directly influences the growth and retention of our senior leadership talent. By ensuring high-quality coaching, you'll help build a stronger leadership bench, improve decision-making at the executive level, and ultimately contribute to the company's strategic objectives and long-term success. You're essentially building the capability for future leadership.

Inside the business
  • Director, Leadership Development
  • HR Business Partners (HRBPs) for various departments
  • Senior Leaders and Executives (coachees)
  • Talent Management team
  • Finance (for budget alignment)
Outside the business
  • External coaching vendors and their coaches
  • Assessment platform providers
  • Industry coaching bodies (e.g., ICF, EMCC)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Extensive experience (10+ years) as an Executive Coach, ideally coaching at VP/SVP level, or equivalent experience managing a significant L&D function.
  • Proven track record of designing, implementing, and managing successful leadership development or coaching programmes.
  • Demonstrable experience managing budgets of at least £250K and overseeing vendor relationships.
  • Experience leading and developing a small team, ideally other coaches or L&D professionals.
  • Strong analytical skills to interpret programme data and demonstrate ROI, or equivalent experience.
  • Professional coaching certification from a recognised body (e.g., ICF PCC/MCC, EMCC Senior Practitioner/Master Practitioner) or equivalent deep experience.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Data Analytics & Visualisation for L&D

Moving beyond basic metrics, the expectation is to link coaching impact to broader business data. This means being able to pull, analyse, and visualise data from multiple sources (HRIS, performance reviews, engagement surveys) to tell a compelling story about coaching ROI. Simple spreadsheets won't cut it anymore.

Correlation vs. causation in L&D data · Longitudinal study design for coaching impact · HRIS data extraction and integration (APIs) · Dashboard design principles for executive audience · Basic statistical analysis for programme evaluatio

  • This month: Refresh your skills in a data visualisation tool (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) by completing an online course.
  • Next quarter: Work with an HRIS expert to understand how to extract relevant talent data for your programmes.
  • Month 4-6: Design and implement one new, integrated dashboard for a key coaching programme, linking to business metrics.
  • Month 7-9: Present your data-driven insights to senior leadership, clearly demonstrating coaching impact.

Quick win: Identify one key business metric (e.g., project completion rate) and brainstorm how coaching *could* impact it, then start tracking it in parallel with your coaching data.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regular participation in coaching supervision, both for your own practice and to inform your team's development.
  • Attending industry conferences and workshops on leadership development, organisational psychology, and coaching trends.
  • Engaging in continuous learning around AI in HR/L&D and neuroscience of leadership.
  • Networking with other Heads of Coaching/L&D to share best practices and challenges.

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: AI-Enhanced Coaching Programme Design

AI isn't just for individual coaches anymore; it's starting to reshape how we design and manage entire programmes. Competitors are already using AI to personalise learning paths, identify coaching needs at scale, and even provide 'AI coaching' companions. We need to understand how to thoughtfully integrate AI to make our programmes more effective and efficient, not just bolt it on.

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 Manager, Executive Coaching 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.

  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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, managing an executive coaching function is a lot of work. From programme design to coach development, budget tracking to stakeholder reporting, there's always more to do than hours in the day. That's where AI comes in. It's not about replacing you, but about taking the grunt work off your plate so you can focus on the strategic stuff that really matters.

We're not just talking about theory here. Our AI Productivity Hub is packed with tools and workflows specifically designed for roles like yours. Imagine cutting down on admin, getting faster insights, and having more time to actually build incredible coaching programmes. This isn't just about efficiency; it's about elevating your impact.

Automated Session Summaries & Insights

Use AI to transcribe coaching sessions (with full consent, obviously) and instantly generate summaries, action items, and identify recurring themes across your entire coaching cohort. This means less time on admin and more time on strategic analysis of what's really going on with our leaders.

Programme Performance Dashboards

Feed your coaching platform data into AI tools to automatically generate insightful dashboards on utilisation, client satisfaction, and even early indicators of programme impact. You'll spot trends and areas for improvement much faster, without needing a data analyst.

Curated Resource Generation

A coach needs a resource on 'leading through ambiguity' for a client? Use AI to instantly pull relevant articles, frameworks, and case studies from our internal knowledge base and external sources. This saves your coaches hours of research and ensures they have the best tools at their fingertips.

Smart Communication & Reporting

Let AI draft your regular updates to HRBPs, programme reports for senior leadership, or even initial outreach emails to potential coachees. Just give it the key points, and it'll produce professional, on-brand communications, freeing you up for more strategic conversations.

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 Manager, Executive Coaching, 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 Manager, Executive Coaching: 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.

Other roles at Level 6

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 – strategic programme design, people leadership, vendor management, and demonstrating ROI for human capital initiatives – are highly transferable. You could easily move into similar leadership roles within other large organisations, consultancies specialising in talent, or even broader HR leadership positions across sectors like professional services, tech, or finance.
