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 ROI Improvement

The percentage increase in overall marketing return on investment, as measured by our unified framework.

Target · Achieve a 5-10% year-on-year improvement in Marketing ROI.

If last year's ROI was 1.5x, you'd aim for 1.575x to 1.65x this year, directly linking marketing spend to revenue.

Forecasting Accuracy

The precision of your team's marketing performance forecasts (e.g., lead volume, customer acquisition costs, campaign revenue) against actual results.

Target · Maintain a forecast variance of less than ±7% for key marketing outcomes.

If your team forecasts 10,000 leads for Q3, and we hit 9,500, that's a 5% variance, which is within target.

Unified Measurement Framework Adoption

The percentage of marketing budget owners and channel leads actively using and trusting the outputs of the unified measurement framework for their planning and optimisation.

Target · Achieve 80%+ adoption and reported confidence in the framework's recommendations.

When the Paid Social lead proactively uses the MMM outputs to justify a budget shift, that's a clear win for adoption.

Data Quality & Reliability

The consistency and accuracy of the data pipelines and dashboards managed by your team, ensuring stakeholders always have trustworthy information.

Target · Maintain 98%+ data accuracy in key dashboards and a maximum of 2 critical data incidents per quarter.

Catching a discrepancy in GA4 event counts versus our CDP before anyone else notices, and getting it fixed quickly.

Strategic Influence & Consultation

How often your team's insights are sought out and genuinely shape strategic marketing decisions, rather than just validating existing plans.

Being invited to early-stage campaign planning meetings
CMO or CFO directly asking for your team's perspective on major investment decisions
your team's recommendations being explicitly cited in executive presentations.

Team Development & Retention

The growth and engagement of your direct reports, ensuring they feel supported, challenged, and see a clear career path.

Direct reports achieving personal development goals
positive feedback in 360-degree reviews
low voluntary turnover within your team (below 10% annually)
successful internal promotions from your team.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

The effectiveness of your team's partnerships with other departments, especially Finance, Data Engineering, and Product, to ensure seamless data flow and alignment on measurement.

Joint projects with Data Engineering delivered on time
Finance proactively reaching out for marketing performance inputs
positive feedback from other department leads on collaboration
shared understanding of key metrics across teams.

Innovation in Measurement

Your team's ability to explore and implement new methodologies, tools, or approaches that improve our understanding of marketing performance.

Successful pilot of a new attribution model
integration of a novel data source for deeper insights
presentation of new measurement techniques at internal knowledge-sharing sessions
proactive proposals for improving existing frameworks.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy

Driving Business Impact

You'll get a real buzz from seeing your team's recommendations directly lead to a measurable increase in marketing ROI or a significant shift in budget allocation that pays off. It's about connecting the dots between data and actual business growth.

Your team's MMM model identifies an underperforming channel, and after you present the case, £1M is reallocated, leading to a 7% increase in overall campaign efficiency.

Building & Developing a High-Performing Team

You'll love mentoring your analysts, helping them grow their skills, and seeing them take on more complex challenges. There's satisfaction in building a cohesive, expert unit that's respected across the organisation.

One of your junior analysts, under your guidance, successfully leads their first major cross-channel attribution project and presents findings to senior leadership.

Solving Complex Puzzles

The challenge of reconciling different data sources, building robust models, and figuring out the 'why' behind marketing performance is what gets you out of bed. You enjoy the intellectual rigour of measurement science.

You successfully integrate a new customer behaviour dataset into your CLV model, improving its predictive power by 15% and unlocking new segmentation opportunities.

What frustrates people

Dealing with political pressure to 'find the data' that supports a pet project or a senior executive's intuition, even when your objective analysis points in a different direction.
Realising that a significant chunk of your team's time is spent on 'data janitor work' – cleaning, structuring, and maintaining data pipelines – rather than generating those shiny insights you were hired for.
The blank stares you sometimes get when you try to explain statistical concepts like p-values, confidence intervals, or multicollinearity in a high-stakes executive meeting.
Having to constantly adapt your measurement strategy because the market changes, new privacy regulations come in, or a major platform decides to restrict data access.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, purely analytical role with minimal human interaction; you'll be managing people and influencing stakeholders constantly.
A static environment where measurement frameworks are set once and never change; expect continuous evolution and adaptation.
Instant gratification from every project; some of the most impactful work involves long-term model building and slow-burn cultural change.
Complete control over all data sources; you'll always be working with some level of external dependency and data limitations.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts the efficiency and effectiveness of our entire marketing budget, typically influencing £5M-£20M in annual spend. Your team's work provides the foundational data for strategic investment decisions, directly affecting revenue growth and profitability. You'll shape how we define success in Marketing and ensure we're always learning and adapting based on solid evidence.

7What you need before you start

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

Proven experience (10+ years) in marketing analytics, performance measurement, or a related data science role, with at least 3-5 years in a leadership or management capacity.
Demonstrable track record of building and leading high-performing analytical teams, including hiring, mentoring, and performance management.
Extensive hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying advanced marketing measurement models (e.g., MMM, MTA, CLV) using tools like Python, R, or specialised platforms.
Strong strategic thinking and the ability to translate complex data insights into clear, actionable business recommendations for executive audiences.
Expert-level proficiency with major analytics platforms (GA4/Adobe Analytics), data visualisation tools (Tableau/Power BI), and data warehouses (Snowflake/BigQuery).
A deep understanding of the digital marketing ecosystem, including paid media channels, ad tech, and martech stacks.
Experience managing significant budgets (£500K+) for tools, agencies, and team resources.

8What to practise next

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

Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) for Measurement

With the deprecation of third-party cookies and increasing privacy regulations, traditional user-level tracking is becoming obsolete. Understanding and implementing PETs is critical for maintaining robust measurement capabilities without compromising user privacy.

Differential privacy in aggregated data analysis · Federated learning for decentralised model trainin · Homomorphic encryption for secure data processing · Synthetic data generation for privacy-preserving a · Server-side tagging and first-party data strategie

This month: Research server-side tagging solutions and their implementation challenges.
Next quarter: Evaluate a synthetic data generation tool for internal testing.
Within 6 months: Work with Data Engineering to pilot a new first-party data collection strategy.
Within 12 months: Develop a roadmap for transitioning our measurement stack to be privacy-first, leveraging PETs where appropriate.

Quick win: Start exploring Google's Privacy Sandbox initiatives and how they might impact your current GA4 setup. It's a fundamental shift.

Advanced Causal Inference & Quasi-Experimental Design

As marketing becomes more complex, simply correlating activity with outcomes isn't enough. We need to prove causality. This means moving beyond basic A/B tests to more sophisticated methods that can isolate the true impact of marketing in messy, real-world scenarios.

Difference-in-differences (DiD) for geo-experiment · Regression discontinuity design (RDD) for natural · Synthetic control methods for policy evaluation · Instrumental variables for endogeneity issues · Propensity score matching for observational studie

This month: Review case studies on successful DiD applications in marketing.
Next quarter: Work with your team to design a quasi-experimental test for a new marketing initiative.
Within 6 months: Attend an advanced econometrics course focusing on causal inference.
Within 12 months: Implement a new causal inference technique into your unified measurement framework, providing more robust incrementality insights.

Quick win: Challenge your team to think beyond simple A/B tests. Can we find a 'natural experiment' in our data to prove a hypothesis about a past campaign?

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attending industry conferences (e.g., Marketing Analytics Summit, eMetrics Summit) to stay abreast of the latest trends and network with peers.
Participating in online courses or bootcamps focused on advanced statistical modelling, machine learning for marketing, or new data visualisation techniques.
Subscribing to leading industry publications and research papers (e.g., WARC, Journal of Marketing Research) to deepen your theoretical and practical knowledge.
Engaging in leadership development programmes to refine your management, coaching, and influencing skills.
Mentoring junior talent, both within your team and across the organisation, to solidify your own understanding and give back to the community.

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 Ethics & Responsible AI in Marketing

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 Manager, Marketing Performance & Measurement 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.

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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Imagine having more time for strategic thinking and less for data wrangling. AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a practical toolkit that can seriously boost your team's productivity and the depth of your insights. For a Manager in Marketing Performance, this means shifting from reactive reporting to proactive, high-impact strategy.

We're embedding AI into our daily workflows to automate the tedious bits, accelerate analysis, and help us spot opportunities faster. This isn't about replacing your team; it's about empowering them to do more meaningful work, more efficiently. Here's a glimpse of how AI can transform your role and your team's output:

Automated Anomaly Detection

AI monitors real-time performance data across hundreds of campaigns – spend, CPA, conversion rates – and automatically flags significant deviations from the norm. This means your team gets alerted to problems before they escalate, pointing them directly to the campaigns that need attention, saving hours of manual checking.

Insight Generation Accelerator

Use AI tools to quickly analyse unstructured data, like customer survey responses, social media sentiment, or competitor earnings call transcripts. It can summarise key themes and sentiment in minutes instead of days, giving your team richer context around the quantitative data and speeding up qualitative research.

Executive Summary Drafter

Feed complex model outputs, key charts, and data points into an AI, and it can generate a first draft of the executive summary for your QBR deck. This helps translate statistical jargon into a clear, concise business narrative, combating writer's block and giving you a solid starting point for those critical presentations.

SQL & Python Co-Pilot

AI assistants can help your analysts write and debug complex SQL queries or Python scripts for data cleaning and modelling. It can suggest optimisations, explain unfamiliar functions, and significantly speed up the development of new analyses and models, freeing up your team for deeper strategic work.

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 Manager, Marketing Performance & Measurement, 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 Manager, Marketing Performance & Measurement: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
