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.

Learning Platform Adoption Rate
The percentage of eligible employees actively using the main learning platform (LMS/LXP) each quarter.
Target · Achieve a 15% year-on-year increase in active learners, defined as logging in and completing at least one learning activity.

If we had 10,000 active learners last year, we'd aim for 11,500 this year. You'd track this through LMS reporting and user activity logs.

Cost-per-Learner Efficiency
The total annual cost of all learning technology (licences, support, integrations) divided by the number of active learners.
Target · Reduce the cost-per-learner by 10% annually through vendor negotiation, platform optimisation, or consolidation.

If our tech costs £500,000 and we have 50,000 active learners, that's £10 per learner. You'd look for ways to get that down to £9.

Team Ticket Resolution SLA Adherence
The percentage of support tickets resolved by your team within the agreed Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for different priority levels.
Target · Maintain >95% adherence for P1 (critical) and P2 (high) tickets, and >85% for P3 (medium) tickets.

If your team gets 100 P1 tickets in a month, you'd expect to resolve at least 95 of them within the agreed 2-hour window. This shows your team's efficiency and responsiveness.

LMS Uptime & Performance
The percentage of time our primary Learning Management System is fully operational and accessible to learners.
Target · Maintain a minimum of 99.9% LMS uptime, excluding planned maintenance windows.

This means less than 8 hours of unplanned downtime per year. If the system goes down during a critical compliance training window, that's a big problem you're accountable for.

Strategic Alignment of Learning Tech Roadmap
How well the planned evolution of our learning technology stack supports the broader L&D and business objectives.
  • Your platform roadmap is regularly reviewed and approved by the Director of L&D Operations. You proactively propose technology solutions that address upcoming business needs (e.g., new hire growth, specific skill gaps). Feedback from L&D Business Partners confirms the tech strategy helps them deliver their programmes effectively.
Team Development & Engagement
The growth and satisfaction of your direct reports.
  • Each team member has a clear development plan, and you can point to specific examples of their skill growth. Team members feel supported and valued, reflected in engagement surveys or 1:1 feedback. You're seen as a fair and effective leader who helps people unstick problems and learn new things.
Vendor Relationship Health
The quality and effectiveness of our relationships with key learning technology vendors.
  • Vendors are responsive, proactive in offering solutions, and see you as a trusted partner. Contract renewals are smooth, and you're able to negotiate favourable terms. Issues are resolved collaboratively, not just escalated.
Stakeholder Satisfaction with Learning Technology
How happy L&D Business Partners and senior leaders are with the overall performance and support of our learning platforms.
  • You receive positive, unsolicited feedback from L&D colleagues and business leaders about the reliability and usability of the platforms. You're regularly consulted on new learning initiatives, and your advice is valued. There are fewer complaints about technical issues impacting programme delivery.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Building and Leading a High-Performing Team

You'll spend a good chunk of your week coaching your team, helping them solve tricky problems, and celebrating their successes. You'll get a real buzz from seeing them grow and take on more complex challenges.

A junior specialist cracks a particularly stubborn SCORM issue, and you feel a genuine sense of pride in their development, knowing you helped guide them.

Shaping the Future of Learning Technology

You'll be researching new tools, evaluating emerging trends like LXPs or AI in learning, and putting together proposals for how we can improve our tech stack. You'll love seeing your strategic plans come to life.

Successfully championing the migration to a new LMS that significantly improves user experience and offers better analytics, seeing your vision become a reality.

Making a Tangible Impact on Thousands of Learners

While you're not directly supporting learners day-to-day, your decisions about platform stability, usability, and new features directly affect their ability to learn. You'll feel good knowing your work enables others' growth.

Receiving feedback from L&D Business Partners about how much easier it is to launch programmes now, or seeing adoption rates climb because the platform just *works*.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with legacy systems that are clunky and hard to integrate, despite your best efforts to modernise.
  • Budget constraints that limit your ability to implement your ideal technology roadmap.
  • Organisational resistance to change when trying to introduce new tools or processes.
  • Juggling urgent, reactive issues (like a system outage) with proactive strategic planning.
  • Vendor support that's slow or unhelpful, leaving you to chase solutions.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely technical individual contributor path—you'll be leading people.
  • A role where you're solely focused on course content creation.
  • Complete autonomy without needing to justify decisions or manage budgets.
  • A quiet, predictable environment; expect regular interruptions and shifting priorities.

6Who you work with

You'll directly influence the learning experience for thousands of employees across the organisation. A well-managed learning tech stack means higher engagement, faster skill development, and a more efficient L&D function. Get it wrong, and you'll create significant friction for learners and the L&D team, potentially hindering critical business initiatives.

Inside the business
  • Director, Learning & Development Operations
  • L&D Business Partners (who design the learning programmes)
  • HR Information Systems (HRIS) team (for user data syncs)
  • IT Infrastructure & Security (for platform hosting and data protection)
  • Senior Business Leaders (who care about learning outcomes)
Outside the business
  • LMS vendor account managers and technical support
  • Course authoring tool vendors
  • Other learning content providers

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (at least 3-5 years) managing a technical support or learning technology team.
  • A deep, practical understanding of Learning Management Systems (LMS) at an administrative or architectural level.
  • Demonstrable experience managing vendor relationships and negotiating contracts for technology services.
  • Experience in managing budgets, ideally in the £500K+ range, and demonstrating ROI.
  • A track record of successfully leading complex technology projects (e.g., system upgrades, integrations).
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to speak to technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Data Governance & Analytics for Learning

With more data points from diverse learning systems, the ability to ensure data quality, privacy, and derive meaningful insights becomes paramount. This isn't just about pulling reports, but about building a robust data strategy.

Learning Record Store (LRS) Management · Data Lake/Warehouse Integration · Data Visualisation Tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) · Data Quality & Integrity

  • This quarter: Take an online course on advanced data analytics or visualisation (e.g., Tableau certification).
  • Next 6 months: Work with our IT data team to understand how learning data could be integrated into our broader data warehouse.
  • Next 12 months: Design and implement a new set of learning dashboards that provide more strategic insights for leadership.
  • Ongoing: Regularly review our data governance policies with legal and IT.

Quick win: Identify one key business question that learning data *could* answer but currently doesn't, and start figuring out what data points you'd need and how you'd get them.

API Integration & Automation for Learning Systems

To create seamless learning experiences and efficient operations, our systems need to talk to each other. You'll need a deeper understanding of APIs and automation to drive these integrations.

RESTful APIs · Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) · Single Sign-On (SSO) Architectures · Workflow Automation

  • This quarter: Take an introductory course on APIs and how they work (e.g., on Udemy or Coursera).
  • Next 6 months: Map out our current learning system integrations and identify areas for improvement or new automation.
  • Next 12 months: Lead a project to implement a new API integration or automation workflow that significantly improves efficiency.
  • Ongoing: Work closely with IT to understand their integration standards and best practices.

Quick win: Identify one manual, repetitive task your team does that could potentially be automated with a simple integration tool (e.g., automatically adding users to a specific course based on an HRIS field).

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attending industry conferences (e.g., Learning Technologies, DevLearn) to stay current with trends and network.
  • Participating in online communities or forums for learning technology professionals (e.g., LinkedIn groups, vendor user groups).
  • Subscribing to key industry publications and newsletters.
  • Taking advanced courses on data analytics, cloud architecture, or cybersecurity relevant to learning platforms.
  • Mentoring junior professionals in the field, which often solidifies your own understanding.

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, Learning Technology & Support 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.

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

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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, managing a learning technology stack and a support team means a lot of moving parts. From sifting through support data to drafting vendor reports, there's always more to do than hours in the day. But what if you could offload some of that heavy lifting?

Our AI Productivity Hub isn't just for individual contributors; it's a game-changer for managers like you. Imagine having an intelligent assistant that helps you spot trends, automate routine tasks, and even draft complex reports. This isn't about replacing your strategic brain; it's about freeing it up to focus on what truly matters: leading your team and shaping the future of learning.

Automated Support Trend Analysis

Instead of manually reviewing ticket data, AI can automatically categorise and analyse support tickets, identifying recurring issues, peak times, and common user pain points. You'll get instant, actionable insights to inform your team's training and knowledge base strategy.

Proactive Platform Health Monitoring

AI monitors LMS logs and performance metrics in real-time, flagging anomalies like unusual error spikes, slow loading times, or unexpected drops in user activity. You'll get early warnings about potential issues, allowing you to address them before they impact learners or escalate to critical incidents.

Intelligent Vendor Report Generation

Feed AI your internal usage data, vendor performance reports, and contract details. It can then draft comprehensive summaries for quarterly business reviews, highlighting key metrics, identifying areas for negotiation, and even suggesting strategic questions to ask your vendor account manager.

Strategic Tech Stack Research Assistant

When evaluating new learning platforms or authoring tools, AI can quickly summarise market trends, compare features, analyse user reviews, and even draft initial RFPs (Request for Proposals). This cuts down hours of research, letting you focus on the strategic fit and business case.

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, Learning Technology & Support, 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, Learning Technology & Support: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
