5What 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 in Where you are nowThe step above
Campaign Messaging/Copy Changes No authority. Must escalate all proposed changes to manager for review and approval. Can propose minor copy tweaks within established brand guidelines, but requires manager approval for anything significant. Can make minor copy adjustments for optimisation within approved campaign themes. Consults with copywriters for major changes.
Marketing Automation Platform Configuration (e.g., email setup) Follows templates and instructions precisely. Any deviation requires manager approval. Can independently configure standard email sends, landing pages, and basic nurtures from scratch, following established best practices. Designs and implements complex engagement programmes, including dynamic content and advanced segmentation. Approves configurations from junior team members.
Budget Allocation/Spend No authority. Reports actual spend against planned budget to manager. Can track and report on spend for assigned campaigns. Flags over/under spend to manager. No approval authority. Manages campaign-level budget up to £50K, making minor adjustments within approved parameters. Requires Director approval for significant shifts.
Vendor/Agency Selection No authority. May assist in collating information on potential vendors. Can research and present potential vendors for specific campaign needs (e.g., content creation). No approval authority. Recommends and vets vendors for specific campaign elements (e.g., paid media agency). Requires Director approval for contracts over £10K.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Task Completion Rate
Percentage of assigned campaign tasks completed on time.
Target · 95%+

If you're given 20 tasks in a week (like setting up emails or pulling reports), we'd expect you to finish at least 19 of them by their deadline. Missing one or two is okay, but consistently missing them means we need to talk.

Data Accuracy
Error rate in data entry, list uploads, and campaign member updates within our marketing automation platform.
Target · 99% accuracy

When you upload a list of 1,000 contacts for an email send, we'd expect no more than 10 errors. Getting someone's name or company wrong is a big deal, so precision really matters here.

Asset Delivery Timeliness
How quickly you get approved campaign assets (like images, copy blocks) to regional teams or into the marketing platform after they're ready.
Target · Within 24 hours of approval

If the creative team signs off on a new banner ad at 3 PM on Tuesday, we'd expect you to have it uploaded to the DAM and linked in the campaign brief by 3 PM on Wednesday, ready for everyone else to use.

Adherence to Brand Guidelines
Consistently using the correct brand voice, imagery, and messaging in all campaign materials you help prepare.
  • Your manager rarely needs to correct brand-related mistakes in your work. You'll proactively check our brand guide before asking questions, and you'll flag any inconsistencies you spot in existing materials. Essentially, you'll become a mini-brand guardian.
Proactive Learning & Questioning
Your willingness to learn new systems and processes, and to ask smart, clarifying questions rather than making assumptions.
  • You'll bring solutions or suggestions when you hit a roadblock, not just problems. You'll ask 'why' something is done a certain way to understand the bigger picture. After initial training, you'll start figuring things out for yourself, only asking for help when you're truly stuck. We'll see you taking notes and referring back to them.
Team Collaboration & Communication
How well you work with your immediate team and other departments, keeping everyone in the loop on your tasks.
  • You'll respond to messages promptly. You'll update your tasks in Asana without being chased. You'll let your manager know if you're falling behind or if something unexpected comes up. People will generally say you're easy to work with and reliable.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Learning & Skill Development

You'll be excited to learn new software, understand campaign mechanics, and get hands-on experience in a real marketing team. Every task, big or small, will feel like a step forward in your career.

Spending an afternoon learning how to segment an audience in Marketo, then immediately applying that knowledge to a real email send, would be genuinely satisfying for you.

Contributing to a Team Goal

You'll get a buzz from knowing your accurate data entry or timely asset coordination meant a campaign launched successfully. You like being a vital part of something bigger, even if you're not leading it.

Seeing a campaign you helped build go live, knowing your careful checks prevented an error, would make you feel proud of your contribution.

Structure & Clear Direction

You'll thrive with clear instructions, well-defined tasks, and regular feedback. You appreciate having a roadmap for your work and knowing exactly what's expected of you.

A detailed brief for setting up a landing page, complete with all copy and image links, would be your ideal starting point, allowing you to execute flawlessly.

What frustrates people
  • Waiting for approvals or assets from other teams, which can delay your own work.
  • Dealing with messy data that needs a lot of cleaning before you can use it.
  • Performing the same kind of task repeatedly, like setting up similar emails every week.
  • Not always understanding the 'why' behind a specific campaign decision, as you're focused on execution.
  • Having your work reviewed and sometimes corrected, even if you thought it was perfect.
What this role does not give you
  • Strategic decision-making authority on campaign direction or budget.
  • Direct management of a team or significant projects from scratch.
  • A constant stream of brand-new, never-before-seen tasks every day.
  • The ability to immediately implement your own big, creative marketing ideas.

8Who you work with

This role directly supports the smooth execution of our global marketing campaigns. Your accuracy and timeliness mean that our campaigns hit their targets, reach the right people, and ultimately help generate interest in our products. Get it right, and the whole marketing machine runs better; get it wrong, and we're scrambling to fix things, which costs time and money. It's foundational work, but it's absolutely essential for the wider team's success.

Inside the business
  • Marketing Campaign Specialists
  • Senior Marketing Campaign Managers
  • Creative Team (designers, copywriters)
  • Web Team (for landing page support)
  • Regional Marketing Teams
Outside the business
  • External agencies (for asset delivery, under supervision)

9What you need before you start

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

  • A genuine interest in marketing and how businesses attract customers.
  • Basic computer literacy, including familiarity with common software like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace.
  • A strong work ethic and a 'can-do' attitude, even for less exciting tasks.
  • The ability to follow detailed instructions and learn from feedback.
  • Excellent organisational skills – you'll be juggling a few things, even if they're small.

10What to practise next

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

Advanced Marketing Automation Platform Use

As you gain experience, you won't just be setting up emails; you'll understand how different campaign elements connect, how lead scoring works, and how to troubleshoot common issues. This will be critical for owning more complex campaign segments.

Lead Scoring Logic · Nurture Stream Design · Troubleshooting Flows

  • This quarter: Ask your manager to walk you through the logic of one of our existing nurture programmes in Marketo/HubSpot.
  • Next quarter: Volunteer to build a simple, new nurture stream from scratch, with supervision.
  • Over the next 6 months: Take the foundational certification for Marketo or HubSpot if you haven't already.

Quick win: When you're setting up an email, try to predict what might go wrong and ask your manager about it. This shows you're thinking ahead.

CRM Data Management & Reporting

Salesforce isn't just a place to view contacts; it's where we track campaign influence and pipeline. As you progress, you'll need to understand how marketing activity impacts the sales funnel and how to pull more sophisticated reports.

Campaign Influence Reporting · Custom Report Building · Data Synchronisation

  • This quarter: Ask to shadow someone who builds custom reports in Salesforce.
  • Next quarter: Take an online course on Salesforce reporting basics.
  • Over the next 6 months: Try to build one custom report in Salesforce that answers a question about campaign performance, even if it's just for your own learning.

Quick win: Whenever you're in Salesforce, click around and explore. See how different objects (leads, contacts, campaigns, opportunities) are connected. Curiosity is key here.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Completing online courses on platforms like LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, or Udemy in areas like 'Introduction to Digital Marketing' or 'Marketing Automation Basics'.
  • Attending industry webinars or virtual events to stay updated on marketing trends (we'll share relevant ones).
  • Reading marketing blogs and publications (e.g., Marketing Week, The Drum) to broaden your knowledge.
  • Volunteering for a local charity or small business to gain more hands-on marketing experience.

Foundational Data Visualisation

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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of entry-level marketing work involves repetitive tasks. But what if you could get a digital assistant to handle some of that grunt work? That's exactly what AI can do for you here. We're not talking about robots taking over, but smart tools that make your day-to-day much smoother.

As a Marketing Campaign Coordinator, you'll be doing a lot of the heavy lifting for our campaigns. Imagine having a clever assistant that helps you draft emails, summarise competitor activity, or even spot potential issues in your data. That's the power of AI, and we want you to use it to free up your time for more interesting, impactful work and learning.

First-Draft Assistant for Copy

Use generative AI tools (like Jasper or ChatGPT) to get a head start on drafting internal communications, social media posts, or even basic email copy from a brief. It won't be perfect, but it'll give you a solid starting point, saving you from staring at a blank page. You'll then refine it with your manager's guidance.

Basic Data Summaries & Insights

Feed your basic campaign reports (e.g., email open rates, website traffic) into an AI tool and ask it to summarise key trends or flag anything unusual. It's a quick way to get a digestible overview before you present to your manager, helping you spot things you might have missed.

Competitor Activity Overview

Instead of manually browsing competitor websites and social channels, use AI-powered research tools to get quick summaries of what our rivals are doing. You can ask it to highlight their latest campaigns or messaging shifts, helping you stay informed without hours of searching.

Automated Proofreading & QA

Before an email or landing page goes live, run the copy through an AI tool for grammar, spelling, and even tone checks. It's an extra layer of quality assurance that can catch those embarrassing typos before they reach our customers. Think of it as a super-smart spell checker.
