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.

Store-Level Sales Growth

Year-over-year increase in sales for locations that are actively supported by your field marketing programmes.

Target · Achieve a 5% year-over-year increase in sales for marketing-supported locations.

If a region's sales were £10M last year, your programmes should contribute to it reaching £10.5M this year.

Regional Market Share Increase

The percentage increase in our company's share of the total market within specific target regions.

Target · Increase market share in target regions by 2% annually.

Moving from 15% to 17% market share in the South East region over a 12-month period.

Blended Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)

The average cost to acquire a new customer across all local marketing channels, including digital, events, and partnerships.

Target · Reduce the blended CPA for local marketing channels by 15% through optimisation and efficiency gains.

If our average CPA was £50, we'd aim to bring it down to £42.50 by refining our strategies and tech use.

Field Marketing Budget ROI

The return on investment generated from the overall field and local marketing budget.

Target · Deliver a minimum 4:1 return on investment for the entire field marketing budget.

For every £1M spent on field marketing, we expect to see at least £4M in attributable revenue.

Franchisee/Manager Satisfaction (NPS)

How satisfied our local operators (franchisees, store managers) are with the marketing support and programmes they receive from your team.

Improve the marketing satisfaction score (measured via an internal NPS survey) from local operators by 10 points within 12 months. Evidence includes increased adoption of national programmes, positive feedback in regional meetings, and fewer escalations regarding marketing support.

Brand Consistency & Adherence

The degree to which local marketing efforts align with national brand guidelines and messaging.

Achieve a 'green' rating in quarterly brand audits across 90% of locations. Evidence includes reduced instances of 'rogue operator' marketing, consistent use of approved assets, and positive feedback from the central brand team on local executions. You'll be the one ensuring everyone's singing from the same hymn sheet.

Strategic Influence & Thought Leadership

Your ability to shape the broader marketing strategy and be recognised as an expert in local market dynamics.

Regularly invited to C-suite and Board-level strategic planning sessions, proactively sought for input on market expansion or new product launches, and recognised as an industry voice in local marketing forums or publications. You're not just executing
you're defining the 'what' and 'why'.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Building & Scaling a Function

You'll spend time designing new processes, selecting technology platforms, and structuring your team to achieve maximum efficiency and impact. This means less 'doing' and more 'enabling' others to do great work at scale.

Implementing a new national local marketing playbook that standardises best practices across all regions, leading to a 20% increase in campaign effectiveness.

Driving Tangible Business Impact

You'll be constantly looking at the big picture – how your team's efforts translate into increased sales, market share, and brand equity. You'll present these results to the C-suite and board, seeing your strategic decisions directly influence the company's trajectory.

Leading a market expansion initiative that results in a 10% increase in sales in new regions within the first year.

Developing & Mentoring Talent

A significant part of your role will be coaching and guiding your direct reports, helping them grow into future leaders. You'll take pride in seeing your team members succeed and advance their careers under your mentorship.

Mentoring a Regional Marketing Manager (L5) who then gets promoted to a Director-level role within 18 months.

What frustrates people

Dealing with legacy systems or processes that hinder innovation at scale.

The constant challenge of balancing national brand consistency with the unique demands of diverse local markets.
Managing significant budgets and being under intense scrutiny to prove ROI on every penny.
Recruiting and retaining top talent in a competitive market while also developing your existing team.

What this role does not give you

Daily, hands-on campaign execution.
A quiet, predictable work environment with minimal stakeholder interaction.
Complete autonomy without the need for C-suite or board alignment.
A role where you don't have to manage people or complex budgets.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to grow market share in existing and new regions, influences national brand perception at a grassroots level, and is accountable for a significant portion of the marketing budget. You'll drive the strategic direction for how we acquire and retain customers through local engagement, making decisions that affect millions in revenue and brand equity.

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

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 Director of Field & Local Marketing 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

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

As a Director, your time is precious, and every hour counts towards strategic impact. Imagine cutting down on tedious data synthesis, policy audits, and initial research, freeing you up to focus on high-level strategy, team development, and board-level presentations. AI isn't just for junior roles; it's a powerful co-pilot for leaders like you.

We're not just talking about automating simple tasks. We're talking about using AI to gain deeper insights, streamline complex workflows, and make more informed strategic decisions at a national scale. Think of it as having an army of highly efficient, tireless assistants working for you 24/7, allowing you to amplify your leadership and drive unprecedented growth.

National Performance Synthesis

Use AI to aggregate, summarise, and identify key trends and outliers from performance data across hundreds of locations. Instead of manually sifting through dozens of regional reports, AI can highlight which programmes are excelling, which regions need attention, and what the overall national picture looks like for your executive reviews. This means faster, more accurate insights for strategic adjustments.

Strategic Content Outlines & Playbooks

Leverage AI to generate comprehensive outlines for national local marketing playbooks, brand guideline updates, and executive presentations. Provide the AI with your strategic objectives and key messages, and it can structure compelling narratives, ensuring consistent messaging and a solid framework for your team and stakeholders. This drastically cuts down on initial drafting time for critical documents.

Automated Policy Compliance Audits

Implement AI-powered tools to automatically scan local marketing assets (like local website pages, social media profiles, or digital ads) for brand guideline adherence. The AI can flag non-compliant content at scale, identifying 'rogue operator' marketing or outdated messaging, allowing your team to proactively address issues and maintain brand consistency across all locations without manual, painstaking checks.

Market Opportunity Identification

Utilise AI to analyse vast datasets, including demographic shifts, competitor activity, local economic indicators, and community event calendars, to identify new market expansion opportunities or strategic partnership targets. Prompt the AI for a comprehensive report on 'untapped growth areas in the UK' or 'potential strategic partners for our brand in the North West', giving you a data-driven edge in your growth strategy.

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 Director of Field & Local Marketing, 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 3 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 Director of Field & Local Marketing: 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 at Level 7

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

Other roles in Marketing

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

If you leave this industry

Your experience as a Director of Field & Local Marketing is highly transferable. You could move into similar leadership roles within other multi-location businesses (retail, hospitality, financial services), franchise organisations, or even scale-ups looking to establish a strong local presence. The skills in strategic leadership, P&L management, and team development are universally valued.
