1What this role really is

This isn't just about research; it's about shaping the entire company's future. As VP of Global Marketing Intelligence, you'll be the eyes and ears of the organisation, spotting shifts in the market, predicting customer needs, and giving the C-suite the intelligence they need to make multi-million pound decisions. You're the strategic brain behind our market moves, translating complex data into clear, actionable strategies that drive enterprise growth and cement our market position. Frankly, you're the one who tells us what's coming next, and why it matters.

2What you'd actually use

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

Qualtrics XM (Enterprise Management)Strategic

Overseeing the enterprise license, defining global data governance policies, and ensuring seamless integration of Qualtrics data with our CRM (Salesforce) and data warehouses (Snowflake) for a unified view of customer experience and market insights. You're not programming surveys, but you're ensuring the platform serves our global strategic needs.

R / Python (Advanced Statistical Ecosystem)Architect

Championing the adoption of advanced statistical methods and custom analytical solutions across the global team. You'll oversee the development of proprietary R/Python packages for complex modelling, ensuring our analytical capabilities remain cutting-edge and scalable. You'll understand the output and direct its application, rather than writing the code yourself.

Tableau / Power BI (Enterprise Visualisation)Strategic

Defining enterprise-wide data visualisation standards, championing data storytelling at the executive and Board level, and ensuring our insights dashboards provide clear, actionable intelligence for strategic decision-makers across the organisation. You'll manage the overall platform strategy and governance.

Microsoft Excel (Data Integrity & Governance)Strategic

Ensuring the integrity and flow of critical market data from various source systems into Excel and other analytics tools for your team. Your focus is on data governance, security, and ensuring that Excel, where still used, is part of a robust, auditable data ecosystem, not on individual spreadsheet creation.

Asana / Jira (Global Programme Management)Strategic

Implementing and optimising Asana (or similar tools) across the entire global insights function, integrating it with other departmental tools (e.g., Salesforce, Slack, Workday) to ensure seamless cross-functional workflows and strategic project oversight. You're managing the system that manages the work.

NVivo (Qualitative Intelligence Strategy)Strategic

Championing the integration of qualitative and quantitative data streams at a strategic level, advocating for mixed-methods research approaches that provide richer, more nuanced insights into complex consumer behaviours and market dynamics. You'll ensure the 'why' is always understood alongside the 'what'.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

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.

Strategic Plan Adoption Rate

Percentage of key market intelligence recommendations formally integrated into the annual corporate strategic plan and subsequent business unit objectives.

Target · >80% of top-tier recommendations adopted

Your team's analysis identifies a £50M market opportunity in emerging economies. The board then allocates significant investment, with clear KPIs, to pursue this within the next 12 months, directly citing your insights.

Revenue / Profit Contribution from Insights-Driven Initiatives

Attributable revenue growth or cost savings directly linked to strategic decisions informed by your global intelligence function.

Target · Attribute >£10M in annual incremental revenue or cost savings

Following your team's deep dive into consumer behaviour shifts, a new product line is launched, generating £15M in new revenue in its first year, a direct result of the intelligence provided.

Market Share Growth (Influenced)

The percentage increase in market share within key strategic segments where your intelligence has guided market entry or competitive defence strategies.

Target · Achieve 2-3% market share gain in targeted segments annually

Your competitive intelligence programme identifies a weakness in a rival's distribution. Our sales strategy, informed by this, leads to a 2.5% market share increase in that specific product category.

Global Insights Budget Management

Adherence to the multi-million pound global market intelligence budget, ensuring optimal allocation of resources across primary research, secondary data, and technology.

Target · Manage budget to within ±3% of annual plan

You oversee a £5M global research budget, ensuring that spend is optimised for strategic impact, coming in at £4.9M for the year without compromising critical insights delivery.

Board & Executive Confidence

The level of trust and reliance the Board and C-suite place on the intelligence provided by your function, evidenced by proactive consultation and acceptance of findings.

You're consistently invited to present at Board meetings on market trends. The CEO and CMO regularly seek your counsel on strategic dilemmas. Your insights are rarely challenged on methodology, but rather on their implications. You're seen as the 'go-to' for market truth.

Strategic Influence & Thought Leadership

Your ability to shape the company's long-term thinking and external perception through compelling, data-driven narratives and proactive identification of future market shifts.

Your team's research is frequently cited in investor calls, annual reports, and major press releases. You're asked to speak at industry conferences, representing the company's forward-thinking approach to market intelligence. You're driving the internal conversation on future market opportunities, not just reacting.

Talent Development & Functional Excellence

The success in building, retaining, and developing a high-performing global insights team, fostering a culture of rigorous methodology and strategic thinking.

Your direct reports consistently progress into more senior roles within the company or industry. Your team has a low attrition rate for high performers. Internal surveys show high engagement and satisfaction within the insights function. You've established clear career paths and development programmes for your people.

M&A Due Diligence Impact

The critical role your intelligence plays in informing potential mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, providing robust market assessments and risk analyses.

You're brought into M&A discussions at the earliest stages. Your market assessments are a core component of investment committee presentations. Your team's insights have either validated successful acquisitions or, crucially, identified risks that led to avoiding poor investments.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Shaping Enterprise Strategy

You'll spend your days engaging with the CEO and Board, presenting insights that directly influence multi-year strategic plans, market entry decisions, and major investments. You're not just contributing; you're driving the core direction of the company.

Leading the strategic review that results in a major pivot into a new geographic market, directly based on your team's foresight into emerging consumer demand.

Building a World-Class Global Function

A significant part of your role involves recruiting top-tier talent, mentoring future leaders, and building the operational frameworks that allow a global team of hundreds to deliver consistent, high-impact intelligence. You're a builder of people and processes.

Establishing a new global insights hub in a key market, hiring the leadership team, and seeing them deliver critical intelligence that informs regional strategy.

Driving Market-Level Change

Your intelligence won't just inform internal decisions; it will help us anticipate and respond to market shifts, sometimes even creating new market categories. You'll be at the forefront of understanding and influencing consumer behaviour on a massive scale.

Identifying a disruptive technology trend early, then guiding the company's R&D and marketing efforts to launch a product that redefines the industry landscape.

What frustrates people

Having to repeatedly justify the investment in foundational research when short-term tactical wins are prioritised.
Navigating internal politics when insights challenge a senior leader's long-held beliefs or pet projects.
The sheer volume and complexity of global data, often from disparate sources, requiring constant harmonisation.
Ensuring consistent quality and methodology across a large, geographically dispersed insights team.
The slow pace of change in large organisations, even with compelling data, can be frustrating.

What this role does not give you

A purely hands-on analytical role—you'll be leading, not always doing the individual analysis.
A predictable, routine work schedule; strategic challenges are often urgent and unexpected.
A role where you can avoid internal politics; influencing at this level is inherently political.
A role without significant pressure; the stakes are incredibly high.

6Who you work with

This role directly guides our multi-year corporate strategy, influences our market positioning, and is absolutely critical for maintaining our competitive edge. You'll be the definitive voice on market realities, ensuring every major decision is grounded in robust intelligence. If you get it right, we lead the market. If you don't, we risk significant strategic missteps and lost opportunities.

Extensive experience in M&A due diligence from an insights perspective, providing critical market assessments for high-stakes transactions.

Experience building and scaling global teams, including talent acquisition, development, and organisational design across different geographies and cultures.

8What to practise next

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

Quantum Computing for Hyper-Complex Market Simulation

Traditional computing struggles with truly massive, multi-variable market simulations. Quantum computing offers the potential to model hyper-complex scenarios, predict nuanced consumer reactions, and optimise strategic decisions with unprecedented accuracy and speed, giving us a significant competitive edge.

Quantum Annealing & Optimisation · Quantum Machine Learning (QML) · Quantum-Safe Cryptography · Hybrid Quantum-Classical Architectures

This year: Sponsor internal research or academic partnerships focused on exploring quantum computing applications in market intelligence.
Next 18 months: Allocate a small R&D budget to pilot a quantum-inspired algorithm for a specific market simulation challenge.
Next 2 years: Build a small internal 'quantum insights' task force to monitor advancements and identify strategic opportunities.
Ongoing: Engage with leading quantum computing firms to understand their roadmaps and potential for future collaboration.

Quick win: Start by reading accessible whitepapers on quantum computing applications in business (not just physics) and identify one or two potential 'moonshot' projects where quantum could offer a breakthrough in market prediction.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Serving on the Board of Directors for non-profit organisations or smaller companies to gain broader governance experience.
Active participation and speaking engagements at leading global industry conferences (e.g., ESOMAR, MRS, Gartner Marketing Symposium).
Publishing thought leadership articles in reputable business journals or industry publications.
Mentoring rising talent, both internally and externally, to foster the next generation of insights leaders.
Engaging in academic collaborations or guest lecturing at universities to stay connected with cutting-edge research and talent.

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 Governance & Ethical Intelligence Leadership

As AI becomes central to data collection, analysis, and insight generation, the ethical implications—bias, privacy, transparency—are paramount. Regulators are catching up, and public trust is fragile. Leading responsibly is non-negotiable.

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 VP of Global Marketing Intelligence 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

Start free and meet yours

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:

Data Science FoundationsLevel 7

1. To enable the learner to define the scope and landscape of Data Science and differentiate the roles of Data Scientists from other IT professionals. 2. To enable the learner to evaluate key topics within Data Science, including data administration, governance, and big data sources. 3. To enable the learner to describe the architecture and core elements of Apache Hadoop. 4. To enable the learner to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of utilising Artificial Intelligence techniques in a business context. 5. To enable the learner to critically analyse the impact of Big Data on digital transformation within organisations and its effects on users. 6.

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

At the C-suite level, your time is your most valuable asset. The good news is, AI isn't just for junior analysts anymore. It's a strategic partner that can amplify your foresight, streamline your decision-making, and help you stay ahead of global market shifts.

Imagine having a strategic co-pilot that can synthesise vast amounts of global market data, identify emerging trends, and even draft initial strategic briefings for the Board. That's the power of AI in your hands. We're not talking about replacing your judgment, but augmenting it, giving you unprecedented speed and depth in your market intelligence.

AI-Driven Global Trend Spotting

Use advanced AI platforms to continuously monitor global news, social media, academic research, and competitor activities, automatically flagging nascent trends and potential disruptions across markets. This means less manual scanning and more strategic foresight.

Predictive Scenario Modelling with AI

Leverage AI-powered simulation tools to model various market scenarios (e.g., economic downturns, new competitor entry, regulatory changes) and predict their impact on our business. This helps you stress-test strategies and prepare for multiple futures.

Generative AI for Board Briefings & Whitepapers

Feed your core insights, data visualisations, and strategic recommendations into generative AI to produce first drafts of board presentations, investor relations documents, or industry whitepapers. Focus your energy on refining the narrative and strategic implications, not drafting.

AI-Enhanced Competitive Intelligence

Deploy AI tools to continuously analyse competitor product launches, marketing campaigns, and financial reports, providing real-time insights into their strategic moves. This gives you an 'always-on' competitive advantage, identifying threats and opportunities faster than ever.

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 VP of Global Marketing Intelligence, 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 17 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 VP of Global Marketing Intelligence: 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.

15Where to go from here

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 expertise in global market intelligence is highly transferable. You could move into leadership roles in almost any industry that relies heavily on understanding consumer behaviour and market dynamics, including Technology, Consumer Goods, Financial Services, Healthcare, and Consulting. The core skill of translating data into strategic action is universally valued at this level.

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.
