1What this role really is

You'll be the person digging into the 'why' behind our marketing performance, figuring out what's working and what's not. This isn't just about pulling reports; it's about making sense of the numbers and turning them into clear recommendations. You'll work closely with the Senior Strategist to shape how we approach new markets or launch our next big product. Honestly, it's a role where your analytical brain gets a proper workout, and you see your insights actually influence decisions.

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
Analytical Methodology (e.g., segmentation approach)Propose options, seek approval from Senior Strategist.Independently choose and execute, inform Senior Strategist. Consult on novel approaches.Define and implement, inform Director. Mentor others on best practices.

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.

Data Accuracy
The precision and correctness of data used in your analyses and reports.
Target · Less than 2% error rate in all reports and analyses

If you analyse campaign performance data, we'd expect any discrepancies or miscalculations to be caught and corrected before the report is shared, leading to zero errors in the final output.

On-Time Delivery
Completing assigned tasks, analyses, and reports by agreed-upon deadlines.
Target · 95%+ of assigned tasks and reports delivered by deadline

If a market segmentation analysis is due on Friday, it's submitted on Friday. If there's a blocker, you've flagged it well in advance, not at the last minute.

Insight Quality
Identifying non-obvious, actionable findings from your analyses that genuinely challenge or refine our existing marketing assumptions.
Target · At least 1 scorable 'insight' (a non-obvious finding) identified in analysis per quarter

Instead of just reporting that 'Campaign X performed well,' you might uncover that 'Campaign X's success was driven almost entirely by a previously overlooked micro-segment in the North East, suggesting a new targeting approach for future campaigns.'

Competitive Analysis Depth
The thoroughness and strategic relevance of your competitive research, providing clear implications for our strategy.
Target · Regularly identify 2-3 significant competitor strategy shifts or new product launches per quarter with clear implications

You present that a key competitor has shifted their messaging to focus on sustainability, providing evidence from their recent campaigns and suggesting how we might need to adapt our own brand narrative to stay relevant.

Clarity of Recommendations
How well you translate complex data and analyses into clear, concise, and actionable recommendations for the team.
  • Your presentations are easy to understand, even for non-technical audiences. Campaign managers can immediately see what they need to do differently based on your input. You get fewer follow-up questions asking 'what does this actually mean?'
Proactive Problem Identification
Your ability to spot potential issues or opportunities in the data before they become major problems or are explicitly asked for.
  • You're flagging a dip in lead quality before Sales complains. You're suggesting a new market segment to explore, not just reacting to a request. You bring solutions, not just problems, to your Senior Strategist.
Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration
How effectively you work with internal teams (Product Marketing, Campaign Managers) to gather information, share insights, and ensure your recommendations are understood and considered.
  • You're seen as a helpful resource by other teams. They come to you for data and insights. You actively participate in cross-functional meetings, offering valuable input rather than just sitting quietly.
Strategic Storytelling
Your skill in weaving data points into a compelling narrative that persuades and informs, rather than just presenting raw numbers.
  • Your presentations are engaging and memorable. People remember your key takeaways. You can explain complex concepts simply, making them relevant to the audience's goals. You're not just showing charts
  • you're telling us what the charts mean for our business.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You'll spend your days untangling messy data, figuring out why a campaign underperformed, or identifying the optimal market segment. It's like being a detective, constantly looking for clues and piecing together the bigger picture.

You're handed a dataset with inconsistent regional sales figures and asked to find out why our Q2 market share dipped. You'll love the challenge of cleaning the data and uncovering the root cause.

Seeing Your Insights Drive Action

Your analyses aren't just academic exercises; they directly inform campaign adjustments, product positioning, or new market entries. You'll get a real kick out of seeing your recommendations implemented and making a tangible difference.

You recommend a specific targeting change for an upcoming campaign based on your segmentation analysis, and when the campaign launches, you see a significant uplift in conversion rates.

Continuous Learning & Growth

The marketing landscape changes constantly, and you'll always be learning new tools, new analytical techniques, and new market dynamics. You'll be encouraged to explore new data sources and methodologies.

You're given time to research and present on the latest attribution models or a new competitive intelligence platform, helping the team stay ahead of the curve.

What frustrates people
  • Wrangling inconsistent data from different sources (CRM, analytics platforms, spreadsheets) before you can even start your analysis.
  • Getting pushback on your data-backed recommendations from teams who prefer to go with 'gut feel' or anecdotal evidence.
  • The 'urgent' request that takes up half your week, only to be deprioritised or forgotten a few days later.
  • Building a detailed analysis that gets presented, but then you don't see the recommended actions actually happen.
  • Having to constantly justify the value of strategic thinking against short-term, tactical wins.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely creative role with no data analysis or number crunching.
  • A role where you directly manage a large team from day one.
  • A predictable, unchanging routine; priorities shift constantly.
  • A guarantee that every single one of your recommendations will be implemented exactly as you propose.

6Who you work with

Your work directly informs how we spend our marketing budget and where we focus our efforts. Get it right, and we grow faster and more profitably. Get it wrong, and we could miss market shifts or launch products to the wrong audience, costing us time and money. You're helping ensure our marketing isn't just busy, but actually effective.

Inside the business
  • Senior Marketing Strategist (your direct manager)
  • Product Marketing Managers
  • Campaign Managers
  • Sales Leads (for lead quality feedback)
  • Data & Analytics Team (for data access and validation)
Outside the business
  • Market Research Agencies (reviewing their outputs)
  • Competitive Intelligence Vendors
  • Creative Agencies (briefing on strategic insights)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (2-5 years) in a marketing analytics, market research, or junior strategy role, where you regularly analysed data and made recommendations.
  • Demonstrable experience with data visualisation tools (Tableau, Power BI) and strong analytical skills, including working with large datasets.
  • A solid understanding of core marketing principles, including segmentation, targeting, and campaign measurement.
  • Experience presenting findings and recommendations to internal stakeholders, even if it was just to your immediate team or manager.
  • A genuine curiosity about customer behaviour and market dynamics – you're always asking 'why?'

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) Interpretation & Application

Proving marketing ROI is becoming more complex as channels fragment. You'll need to go beyond basic attribution and understand how MMM can truly quantify the incremental impact of each channel, allowing for smarter budget allocation. This is important within 12-18 months.

Incremental vs. Attributed Impact · Model Limitations & Assumptions · Scenario Planning with MMM · Data Inputs & Quality for MMM

  • This week: Find a good online course or article explaining MMM in detail (e.g., from Google or Meta's marketing science teams).
  • This month: Shadow your Senior Strategist or a data scientist who works with MMM. Ask lots of questions.
  • Month 2: Propose a small-scale MMM experiment or data collection effort for a specific campaign.
  • Month 3: Present a summary of MMM best practices and how we could apply them more effectively.

Quick win: Start asking 'what's the incremental impact?' in every campaign review. Challenge assumptions about channel effectiveness based on simple last-click data.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly reading industry publications and thought leadership (e.g., Marketing Week, Harvard Business Review, Warc) to stay on top of trends.
  • Attending webinars or online courses on advanced analytics, data visualisation, or specific marketing strategy frameworks.
  • Participating in industry meetups or online communities to network and learn from peers.
  • Taking on stretch projects that push you into new areas of marketing strategy or data analysis.

11Where this role leads

The long view:Your journey here as a Marketing Strategist is just the beginning. We're looking for someone who sees this role not just as a job, but as a launchpad for a significant career in shaping how businesses grow and connect with their customers. We'll support you every step of the way.

Pay & demand

The figure is the median for full-time employees in the ONS occupation this job title codes to (Marketing associate professionals), from the April 2025 survey — about six months old when published, as ASHE always is. It is that occupation's middle, not this role's. Half earn more.

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 Marketing Strategist 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 big chunk of a Marketing Strategist's time can be spent on repetitive tasks, data wrangling, and sifting through mountains of information. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work to AI, freeing you up for the truly strategic, creative thinking? That's exactly what we're doing here at Zavmo.

We're not just talking about using AI for content generation (though that's part of it!). We're integrating intelligent tools into our daily workflow to automate competitive analysis, predict market shifts, and even draft initial strategic plans. This isn't about replacing your job; it's about making you a far more powerful and effective strategist, focusing your brainpower on the insights only a human can provide.

Competitive Intelligence Auto-Briefing

Imagine an AI agent constantly scanning the market for you. It scrapes competitor press releases, earnings call transcripts, product updates, and social media sentiment. Then, it synthesises all that into a concise daily or weekly executive summary, highlighting key threats and opportunities specifically tailored to our business. You'll get a head start on understanding market shifts without spending hours manually digging.

Predictive Segmentation & CLV

Forget weeks of manual data crunching to find customer segments. We use machine learning models to analyse vast customer datasets – from CRM to web behaviour and support tickets – uncovering non-obvious micro-segments and predicting future Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). This means you can target campaigns with surgical precision and justify investments in retention, all with insights impossible for humans to find manually.

Market Research Synthesis

Drowning in lengthy market research reports from Gartner or Forrester? Feed them into a generative AI model. Ask it to produce a concise summary of key trends, statistics, and strategic implications relevant to your specific business objectives. You'll get to the 'so what?' much faster, letting you focus on applying the insights, not just reading them.

Strategic Plan First Draft

Think of generative AI as your strategic thought partner. Provide it with your core data, objectives, and frameworks (like SWOT or STP), and have it generate a structured first draft of a strategic plan or a section of a board presentation. This gives you a solid starting point, letting you refine, elevate, and add your unique strategic flair, rather than staring at a blank page.

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 Marketing Strategist, 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 14 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 Marketing Strategist: 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.

If you leave this industry

The analytical and strategic skills you'll develop here are highly transferable. You could move into roles in management consulting, corporate strategy, product management, or even venture capital, where understanding market dynamics and growth drivers is paramount.
