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.

MQL Generation
The number of Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) sourced by your team's campaigns.
Target · Source >500 qualified MQLs per quarter, with a consistent 10%+ month-over-month growth in net-new MQLs.

In Q1, your team sourced 550 MQLs, exceeding the 500 target. We'd then look at the quality of those MQLs, of course.

Pipeline Influence & Creation
The total value of new sales pipeline influenced or directly created by your demand generation strategies.
Target · Directly influence >£750K in new sales pipeline per quarter, aiming for 35%+ of total company new business bookings.

Your Q2 campaigns were attributed to £820K in new pipeline, showing a strong correlation between your strategy and sales opportunities.

Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)
Demonstrable improvements in key conversion points within the marketing funnel.
Target · Achieve a >10% lift on a core conversion metric (e.g., landing page conversion, MQL-to-SAL rate) via A/B testing each quarter.

You designed a new landing page test that increased demo requests by 12% for our flagship product, directly impacting lead volume.

Marketing ROI & CAC Efficiency
The return on investment for marketing spend and the efficiency of customer acquisition costs.
Target · Maintain a Marketing ROI of 3:1 or better, and reduce Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) by 15% year-over-year through optimisation.

By optimising ad spend and improving landing page performance, your strategies contributed to a 17% reduction in CAC this year.

Strategic Alignment & Influence
How well your campaign strategies align with overall business objectives and how effectively you influence key stakeholders.
  • You're proactively consulted by Sales and Product leadership on GTM plans. Your strategic proposals are adopted, and you're seen as a trusted advisor, not just an executor. Feedback from cross-functional peers consistently highlights your collaborative approach and strategic input.
Team Development & Mentorship
Your ability to grow and develop the Campaign Specialists on your team.
  • Your direct reports show clear progression in their skills and autonomy. They consistently meet their individual performance targets. You're regularly conducting effective 1:1s, providing constructive feedback, and helping them navigate challenges. Junior team members actively seek your guidance.
Process Innovation & Standardisation
Your contribution to improving and standardising our campaign processes and playbooks.
  • You've introduced new, more efficient campaign workflows that reduce errors or time-to-launch. Your team's campaign briefs are consistently comprehensive and clear. Other teams adopt processes you've designed, showing their effectiveness and scalability.
Attribution Model Optimisation
Your efforts in refining and improving our multi-touch attribution models to give a clearer picture of marketing's impact.
  • You're actively proposing and implementing changes to our attribution models (e.g., moving beyond last-click). Your dashboards provide a more nuanced view of campaign influence across the funnel, which is understood and accepted by Finance and Sales.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Seeing Your Strategy Come to Life

You love sketching out a new demand generation funnel, then watching it get built and start delivering MQLs. The satisfaction comes from seeing your plan translate into tangible business growth.

You've just launched a new product GTM motion you designed, and the initial MQL numbers are exceeding projections. That's your fuel.

Optimising for Impact

You're constantly looking at the numbers, identifying bottlenecks, and figuring out how to squeeze more performance out of every pound spent. It's about making things work better, faster, and more efficiently.

You spend an afternoon deep-diving into attribution reports, finding that a specific content piece is consistently influencing deals, and you immediately plan to amplify it.

Building and Mentoring a Team

You enjoy guiding junior specialists, helping them grow their skills, and seeing them successfully execute the strategies you've designed. It's rewarding to build capability within the team.

One of your direct reports successfully launched their first complex multi-channel campaign, and you were there every step of the way, offering advice and support.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Dirty List': Being handed a spreadsheet of contacts from a trade show and spending a full day cleaning, de-duping, and formatting it before it can even be uploaded. It's tedious, but essential.
  • Sales Team Ghosting: Sales complaining about a lack of leads, then failing to follow up on the high-quality MQLs you send them or log their activity in Salesforce. It's a constant battle for alignment.
  • The Last-Minute 'SVP Idea': A senior executive has a 'great idea' for a campaign that needs to launch tomorrow, completely derailing your planned sprint and ignoring all established processes. It happens, and you'll need to manage expectations and re-prioritise.
  • Attribution Black Holes: Knowing your campaign influenced a massive deal, but because it wasn't the 'last touch,' your dashboard shows zero pipeline contribution, and you have to manually fight for credit. It's not always fair, but it's the reality of complex sales cycles.
  • The Brand Police: The creative team vetoing a high-performing landing page design because it uses a button colour that is 'off-brand,' prioritising aesthetics over conversion. You'll need to be able to make a strong, data-backed case.
  • 'Can you just pull a quick list?': A seemingly simple request that requires navigating three different systems, complex filtering logic, and data validation, taking half a day. You'll learn to manage these requests and educate others on the effort involved.
What this role does not give you
  • A perfectly linear, predictable work schedule. Expect some urgent requests and shifting priorities.
  • Complete control over every variable. You'll need to influence and persuade, not just dictate.
  • A role where you only focus on one channel or tactic. You'll be thinking holistically across the entire funnel.
  • A 'set it and forget it' mentality. You'll be constantly optimising, testing, and iterating.

6Who you work with

This role shapes the direction of our demand generation function, directly influencing our marketing-sourced pipeline and revenue contribution. Your strategic decisions will dictate how we allocate significant marketing budget and resources, ultimately driving the company's growth trajectory.

Inside the business
  • VP of Sales
  • Product Marketing Leads
  • Content Marketing Team
  • Sales Operations
  • Peer Lead Strategists (across different marketing functions)
Outside the business
  • Strategic Agency Partners (e.g., paid media agencies)
  • Martech Vendors (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven track record (5+ years) of successfully designing and executing multi-channel demand generation campaigns in a B2B environment, specifically driving MQL and pipeline growth.
  • Expert-level proficiency with at least one major marketing automation platform (e.g., HubSpot, Marketo, SFMC), including advanced workflow building, lead scoring, and reporting.
  • Advanced analytical skills, including the ability to build custom reports and dashboards in tools like Tableau or Looker Studio, and a strong understanding of marketing attribution models.
  • Demonstrable experience in leading or mentoring junior marketing professionals, with a focus on skill development and performance improvement.
  • Strong understanding of the sales process and how marketing activities directly contribute to sales pipeline and revenue.
  • Excellent project management skills, capable of overseeing multiple complex campaigns simultaneously and managing dependencies.

8What to practise next

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

Composability & Martech Stack Integration

The trend is moving away from monolithic platforms towards 'composable' stacks—best-of-breed tools connected via APIs. You'll need to understand how to evaluate, select, and integrate these tools to build a truly flexible and powerful marketing ecosystem.

API Fundamentals (REST, GraphQL) · Data Orchestration & ETL · Vendor Evaluation Frameworks · System Architecture Diagrams

  • This month: Research 'composable CDP' or 'martech integration platforms'.
  • Next quarter: Map out our current martech stack, identifying key data flows and potential integration points.
  • Month 3-6: Participate in a vendor evaluation process for a new tool, focusing on its integration capabilities.
  • Ongoing: Stay updated on new martech innovations and how they could enhance our existing stack.

Quick win: Identify one manual data transfer process in your current workflow and research if an existing API or integration tool could automate it.

Predictive Analytics for Campaign Optimisation

Moving beyond historical reporting, predictive analytics uses machine learning to forecast future campaign performance, identify high-value segments, and even suggest optimal budget allocation. This allows for proactive rather than reactive strategy adjustments.

Regression Analysis for Forecasting · Classification Models for Lead Scoring · Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Prediction · A/B Testing with Bayesian Statistics

  • This month: Explore predictive features within your existing marketing automation or CRM (e.g., Salesforce Einstein).
  • Next quarter: Take an online course on basic predictive modelling concepts (e.g., on Coursera or DataCamp).
  • Month 3-6: Work with a data analyst (if available) to build a simple predictive model for MQL conversion.
  • Ongoing: Apply predictive insights to adjust campaign targeting or budget allocation, tracking the impact.

Quick win: Use your current data to manually forecast next month's MQLs based on historical trends, then compare it to actuals to start building your predictive intuition.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attend industry webinars and conferences (e.g., Marketing Nation Summit, HubSpot INBOUND, B2B Marketing Expo) to stay ahead of trends.
  • Subscribe to leading marketing publications and blogs (e.g., Marketing Week, Chief Marketer, Forrester, Gartner) for strategic insights.
  • Actively participate in online communities or forums for marketing automation users to share knowledge and troubleshoot challenges.
  • Seek out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues or participate in cross-functional working groups to broaden your influence and leadership skills.
  • Undertake specific training on advanced data analytics or visualisation techniques to enhance your data storytelling capabilities.

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: Ethical AI in Marketing & Personalisation

AI is becoming central to segmentation, content generation, and predictive analytics. However, growing concerns around data privacy, bias in algorithms, and 'dark patterns' mean marketers need to be highly aware of ethical implications. Regulators are watching, and customer trust is paramount.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

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.

  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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine having more time to focus on the big strategic questions, rather than getting bogged down in repetitive tasks. That's the reality with AI in marketing. For a Lead Campaign Strategist, AI isn't just a nice-to-have; it's a superpower that amplifies your impact and frees you up to innovate.

In this role, you're constantly juggling strategic planning, team management, and campaign optimisation. AI tools can take a significant chunk of the tactical burden off your plate, allowing you to dedicate your energy to refining our demand generation funnels, mentoring your team, and driving measurable growth. It's about working smarter, not just harder.

AI-Powered Copywriting & Variant Generation

Use tools like Jasper or Copy.ai to instantly generate 20 variations of an email subject line, ad headline, or social post. Feed it your top-performing copy and ask it to create new versions in the same tone, then quickly review and select the best ones. This frees up your team's time for more creative, high-level messaging.

Predictive Audience Segmentation

Leverage AI models built into your CDP or MAP (e.g., Salesforce Einstein) to analyse behavioural data and automatically identify high-intent audience segments that would be impossible to find with manual rules-based queries. This means more precise targeting and better campaign results with less manual data crunching.

Competitor Campaign Intelligence

Use AI-powered competitive intelligence tools to monitor competitor ad copy, landing pages, and email campaigns. Get automated alerts and summarised reports on their go-to-market strategy, informing your own campaign planning and helping you spot opportunities or threats faster than ever before.

Automated Reporting Narrative

Connect your analytics platforms to an AI tool that drafts the initial narrative for your weekly and monthly performance reports. It identifies trends, highlights anomalies, and provides a written summary, turning a 2-hour task into a 15-minute review. This gives you back valuable time for deeper analysis and strategic thinking.

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 Lead Campaign 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 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 Lead Campaign Strategist: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
