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.

Marketing-Sourced Pipeline Value
The total value of new sales opportunities directly generated by your marketing programmes.
Target · Generate £1.5M+ in new pipeline value per quarter.

In Q2, your team's campaigns contributed £1.65M to the sales pipeline, exceeding the £1.5M target by 10%.

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) Efficiency
How much it costs us to acquire a new customer through your managed channels.
Target · Maintain CAC at or below £500 per customer.

After optimising our paid social campaigns, the CAC for new customers dropped from £550 to £480, saving us money on each new sign-up.

MQL-to-SQL Conversion Rate
The percentage of marketing-qualified leads (MQLs) that Sales accepts as sales-qualified leads (SQLs).
Target · Achieve a 25%+ MQL-to-SQL conversion rate.

Our MQLs converted to SQLs at 28% last month, showing the leads your team generated were high quality and relevant to Sales.

Campaign Return on Investment (ROI)
The revenue generated from a campaign relative to its cost.
Target · Deliver an average campaign ROI of 3:1 or higher.

The Q3 content programme cost £50K and directly influenced £200K in revenue, giving us a 4:1 ROI, which is excellent.

Strategic Influence & Collaboration
How well you get other teams (Sales, Product) on board with your marketing plans and how often they come to you for advice.
  • Sales leadership actively seeks your input on product launches. Product teams regularly ask for your market insights before finalising features. You're consistently invited to cross-functional planning meetings, not just told what to do.
Team Development & Mentorship
The growth and performance of the Specialists and Coordinators who report to you.
  • Your direct reports show clear progress on their individual development plans. They're taking on more complex tasks and solving problems independently. Retention rates for your team are high, and they speak positively about your leadership in feedback sessions.
Operational Excellence & Scalability
How effectively you build repeatable processes and systems that allow us to do more with the same or fewer resources.
  • You've documented key campaign playbooks that junior team members can follow. You've introduced new tools or processes that have demonstrably reduced manual effort. We're launching campaigns faster and with fewer errors than before.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Seeing Your Strategies Drive Growth

You'll get a real kick out of seeing the lead numbers climb, or watching a new product launch successfully because of your team's work. It's about connecting your efforts directly to the company's bottom line.

When the Director shares the quarterly revenue numbers and highlights Marketing's contribution, you feel a genuine sense of accomplishment. Or when Sales tells you the leads from your latest campaign are 'the best yet'.

Building and Developing a High-Performing Team

You enjoy coaching your direct reports, helping them grow their skills, and seeing them take on more responsibility. You're invested in their success as much as your own.

A junior specialist you've mentored successfully leads their first major campaign from start to finish, or gets promoted. That's a huge win for you.

Solving Complex Marketing Puzzles

You love digging into the data to figure out why a campaign underperformed, or how to crack a new market. It's about finding creative, data-backed solutions to tricky business challenges.

When we're struggling to acquire customers in a new segment, you're the one leading the brainstorming, research, and testing to find a breakthrough. You thrive on that challenge.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Attribution Black Hole': Trying to definitively prove the ROI of every single marketing touchpoint when the customer journey is long and messy.
  • The 'Sales-Marketing Blame Game': Consistently hearing from Sales that 'the leads are weak' while knowing they might not be following up effectively.
  • The 'HiPPO Effect': When a senior executive's subjective opinion overrules weeks of data analysis and strategic planning.
  • The constant stream of 'Can you just...?' requests from other departments that derail your team's planned work.
  • Algorithm Whiplash: Waking up to find a Google or social media algorithm change has tanked your traffic or reach overnight, forcing a scramble.
  • Budget Scrutiny: Marketing budgets are often the first to be cut and the last to be restored, despite being critical for growth.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely individual contributor path without any team leadership or mentorship responsibilities.
  • A role where you're handed a perfect brief and never have to deal with ambiguity or changing requirements.
  • A quiet, predictable environment with no urgent requests or cross-functional negotiations.
  • A role where you never have to justify your budget or prove ROI to sceptical stakeholders.

6Who you work with

This role directly influences our market perception, customer acquisition costs, and the quality of leads flowing into Sales. You'll be instrumental in scaling our marketing efforts, ensuring our campaigns are not just effective, but also efficient and repeatable. Your work directly impacts the company's revenue growth and overall market share.

Inside the business
  • Director of Marketing
  • Sales Leadership and Account Directors
  • Product Management Leads
  • Finance Business Partners
  • Head of Customer Success
Outside the business
  • Key Agency Partners (e.g., SEO, Paid Media)
  • Technology Vendors (e.g., HubSpot, Google)
  • Industry Event Organisers
  • Content Creators and Freelancers

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (10+ years) in a hands-on marketing role, with at least 3-5 years specifically managing a team or a significant marketing function.
  • Demonstrable track record of designing, implementing, and optimising multi-channel marketing campaigns that directly contributed to revenue growth.
  • Solid experience with a marketing automation platform (like HubSpot, Marketo, or Pardot) at an advanced administration level.
  • Strong analytical skills, including experience building custom reports and dashboards in Google Analytics (GA4) or a similar BI tool.
  • Experience managing marketing budgets of at least £250K annually, demonstrating fiscal responsibility and ROI focus.
  • A portfolio or case studies showcasing successful marketing programmes you've led and the measurable impact they had.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Data Storytelling & Visualisation

As data volumes grow, the ability to distil complex insights into a compelling, easy-to-understand narrative for non-technical stakeholders becomes even more critical. It's about influence, not just reporting.

Narrative structure for data presentations · Choosing the right visualisation for the message · Audience-centric data communication · Interactive dashboard design principles

  • This week: Review your last few presentations. Did they tell a story, or just list numbers?
  • This month: Take an online course on data storytelling or advanced Tableau/Looker Studio dashboard design.
  • Month 2: Redesign one of your recurring reports into a more interactive, narrative-driven dashboard.
  • Month 3: Seek feedback from senior leaders on the clarity and impact of your data presentations.

Quick win: Before your next meeting, practice explaining a complex data point in 30 seconds, without jargon. It forces clarity.

Marketing Operations & Workflow Automation

To scale our marketing efforts efficiently, we need to automate more of the 'busy work'. This means you'll be thinking like an operations manager, not just a marketer, to streamline processes and integrate tools more effectively.

Process mapping and optimisation · Integration strategies for the martech stack · Scalable lead management processes · Data governance and hygiene automation

  • This week: Document one of your team's most time-consuming manual processes.
  • This month: Research automation capabilities within HubSpot or other tools you use.
  • Month 2: Implement one small automation that saves your team 1-2 hours per week.
  • Month 3: Develop a proposal for a larger marketing operations improvement project, including estimated ROI.

Quick win: Automate a simple internal notification or data sync between two tools. Even small wins build momentum.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attending industry conferences (e.g., BrightonSEO, Marketing Week Live) to stay current on trends and network.
  • Subscribing to and actively reading leading marketing publications and blogs (e.g., Marketing Week, Search Engine Journal, Moz, HubSpot Blog).
  • Participating in online courses or workshops on advanced topics like AI in marketing, data visualisation, or specific platform updates.
  • Mentoring junior marketers outside of your direct team, which helps solidify your own knowledge and leadership skills.

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: Prompt Engineering & LLM Integration

Competitors are already using Large Language Models (LLMs) to draft ad copy, social posts, and even basic content in minutes. Marketers who master this will outproduce peers 3:1. It's not just about using ChatGPT; it's about integrating LLMs into our actual workflows.

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

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 Senior Marketing Manager 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:

One to one, not one to many

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.

  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

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, marketing is full of repetitive tasks. But what if you could offload a huge chunk of that to AI, freeing you up for the strategic, creative stuff you actually love? Our team is already doing it, and you'll be at the forefront.

We're not just talking about basic spell-check. We're integrating AI into our daily workflows to supercharge everything from content creation to campaign analysis. You'll be expected to not just use these tools, but to actively find new ways to apply them to your programmes and team.

Ad Copy & Content Generation

Use AI tools like Jasper or ChatGPT to quickly generate dozens of variations for ad headlines, social media posts, and email subject lines for A/B testing. You can also get first drafts of blog posts or video scripts based on your keywords in minutes, not hours.

Performance Analysis & Summarisation

Feed raw campaign data (CSVs from ad platforms, Google Analytics) into AI tools to automatically identify key trends, anomalies, and insights. Ask it to 'Summarise the key takeaways from this campaign performance report in five bullet points for the Director'—it's like having a super-fast junior analyst.

Ideation & Keyword Research

Use AI as your brainstorming partner. Prompt it with 'Give me 20 blog post ideas for a B2B SaaS company targeting finance managers' or 'Generate a list of long-tail keywords related to 'project management software''. It's a massive shortcut to fresh ideas.

Stakeholder Communication & Briefing

Draft internal communications faster. Use AI to create a first draft of a campaign brief based on a few bullet points, or write an email to the sales team announcing a new marketing campaign and its objectives. It helps you get your message out clearly and quickly.

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 Senior Marketing Manager, 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 11 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 Senior Marketing Manager: 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.
