1What this role really is

This role is all about making sure our global marketing efforts are backed by solid plans and accurate numbers. You'll be the person who keeps the budget trackers spot on, builds dashboards that actually make sense, and helps draft the crucial documents that guide our campaigns. Think of yourself as the central nervous system for our marketing plans, keeping everything connected and running smoothly.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Microsoft ExcelIntermediate

Building and maintaining complex budget trackers, performing data reconciliation, using VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables, and basic formulas for analysis. You'll live in Excel, frankly.

Anaplan / PigmentBasic

Entering data into pre-built modules, running standard reports, and validating budget submissions against the templates. You'll be a user, not a builder, at this stage.

Asana / Monday.comIntermediate

Updating tasks, tracking project deadlines, creating simple project boards, and building automated workflows for routine tasks like report submissions. You'll help keep projects on track.

Tableau / Power BIBasic

Navigating existing dashboards, applying filters to find specific data, and exporting visuals or data for presentations. You'll be consuming and sharing insights, not building from scratch yet.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4)Basic

Pulling standard reports on website traffic, user engagement, and conversion metrics. You'll use this data to understand campaign impact on our digital properties.

Notion / ConfluenceIntermediate

Creating and updating planning pages from templates, managing status tables, and organising meeting notes and documentation for the team. You'll help keep our knowledge base tidy.

Miro / FigJamBasic

Adding sticky notes to existing boards during brainstorming sessions and participating in visual planning workshops. You'll be a contributor, helping to visualise ideas.

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.

Budget Tracker Accuracy
How closely your marketing budget trackers match the official figures from our Finance team.
Target · >99% consistency with finance reports.

If Finance says we spent £1.2M in Q1, your tracker should show £1.19M or £1.21M, not £1.5M. We're talking pence, not pounds, here.

On-Time Reporting
Delivering routine reports and budget updates by their agreed-upon deadlines.
Target · 95% of routine reports delivered by the deadline.

If the weekly spend report is due every Monday at 10 AM, we expect to see it in our inbox by 9:55 AM, not 11 AM.

Data Entry Error Rate
The percentage of errors found in any manual data inputs you're responsible for.
Target · <1% on all manual data inputs.

You've entered 500 lines of campaign data; finding fewer than 5 mistakes would hit the target. Even one wrong decimal can mess up a whole regional budget, so this is crucial.

Campaign Performance Dashboard Reliability
Ensuring the dashboards you build are always up-to-date and pull accurate figures from source systems.
Target · 98% data accuracy and uptime for key dashboards.

If a regional marketing lead points out that the 'leads generated' figure on your dashboard doesn't match the CRM, that's an issue. We need to trust these numbers implicitly.

Data Reliability & Trust
How much the team relies on your data and reports for their own decision-making.
  • People consistently refer to your reports in meetings
  • they ask you for specific numbers rather than digging them up themselves
  • you're seen as the 'go-to' person for campaign performance data. Frankly, if people trust your numbers, you're doing well.
Process Adherence & Improvement
Following established planning processes and identifying ways to make them better.
  • Your budget submissions always follow the template
  • you flag when a process isn't working and suggest a fix
  • new joiners come to you for guidance on 'how things are done around here.' We're not looking for robots, but we need people who respect the process.
Proactive Problem Solving
Spotting potential issues before they become big problems and suggesting solutions.
  • You notice a budget line is about to be overspent and flag it early
  • you see a discrepancy between two reports and investigate it without being asked
  • you anticipate what information a stakeholder will need next and prepare it in advance. It's about thinking one step ahead, not just reacting.
Stakeholder Communication Clarity
How clearly and concisely you communicate updates, issues, and data insights to various internal teams.
  • Your emails are easy to understand, even for non-marketing folks
  • you can explain complex data simply
  • people don't need to ask follow-up questions because your initial message was comprehensive. No jargon, just clear facts.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Bringing Order to Chaos

You get a genuine kick out of taking a jumble of spreadsheets and turning them into a clean, coherent plan. You love building a system that actually works and helps others.

Taking 15 different regional budget requests, each in its own format, and consolidating them into one master document that makes sense to everyone. That's your happy place.

Being the Trusted Source of Truth

It's important to you that your data is accurate and that people rely on your reports. You feel a sense of pride when someone says, 'Let's check with [Your Name], they'll have the real numbers.'

When the CMO asks for a specific campaign spend figure in a leadership meeting, and your number is the one everyone references, not the one from an agency report.

Enabling Smart Decisions

You're not just moving numbers around; you understand that your work helps the business make better choices about where to invest. You want your efforts to have a tangible impact.

Building a campaign performance dashboard that clearly shows which channels are delivering the best ROI, leading to a decision to shift budget to those channels.

What frustrates people
  • The Spreadsheet is the Job: Honestly, you'll spend about 70% of your time in Excel, chasing people for inputs, cleaning messy data, and reconciling numbers that never quite match between Finance, the ad platforms, and the CRM. It's a grind.
  • Professional Cat Herder: Your primary role is often chasing down powerful, busy regional marketing leaders for their budget submissions and status updates, especially at the end of a quarter. It can feel like you're constantly nagging.
  • Last-Minute Fire Drills: Expect the 'great idea' from the CEO or CMO to land on a Friday afternoon, with no budget, needing a full plan by Monday morning. This will derail all your carefully planned work, and it happens more often than you'd like.
  • Death by a Thousand Cuts: You'll be constantly justifying the marketing budget to finance stakeholders who often view it as a cost center, not a growth driver. It can be exhausting to fight the same battles.
  • The 'Single Source of Truth' Lie: You'll create a beautiful, centralised planning document in Notion or Asana, only to find half the team is still using their own offline spreadsheets, causing massive reconciliation headaches. It's frustrating, but it's reality.
  • Blame Sponge: When a campaign underperforms, the plan and the forecast (your work) are scrutinised first, even if the failure was due to poor creative or sales execution. You've got to have thick skin.
What this role does not give you
  • Constant creative freedom or direct campaign execution. You're more about the 'how' and 'how much' than the 'what.'
  • A quiet, predictable routine. While you bring order, the inputs you receive are often anything but.
  • Immediate gratification on every project. Some plans take months to come to fruition, and some might even get scrapped.

6Who you work with

Your accurate data and timely reports directly inform how we allocate millions of pounds in marketing spend. Get it right, and we hit our growth targets; get it wrong, and we could be pouring money down the drain. You're essential for ensuring our marketing investments are transparent and effective, helping the business grow.

Inside the business
  • Regional Marketing Leads
  • Finance Business Partners
  • Global Marketing Leadership (VPs, Directors)
  • Product Marketing Managers
  • Sales Operations
Outside the business
  • Media Agency Account Managers
  • Creative Agency Project Managers
  • External Data Providers

7What you need before you start

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

  • At least 2 years of experience in a marketing operations, marketing finance, or a highly analytical marketing support role.
  • Demonstrable experience using Microsoft Excel for data analysis and reporting (beyond just basic sums).
  • A proven track record of managing multiple tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience working with data from marketing platforms (e.g., Google Analytics, social media ad platforms).

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Excel Modelling

While dedicated planning tools exist, Excel remains the workhorse for many ad-hoc analyses and complex scenarios. Being able to build flexible, error-free models is crucial for higher-level planning.

Power Query for Data Transformation · Scenario Analysis with Data Tables · Basic VBA Macros

  • This week: Explore Power Query in Excel and try to automate one data import task.
  • This month: Learn about data tables and build a simple scenario model for a campaign budget.
  • Month 2: Find a repetitive Excel task you do weekly and research if a simple macro could automate it.
  • Month 3: Take an advanced Excel course focused on financial modelling or data automation.

Quick win: Start using 'Text to Columns' and 'Remove Duplicates' in Excel regularly—they're simple but powerful data cleaning tools.

Business Intelligence (BI) Dashboard Development

As data volumes grow, static reports become less useful. The ability to build interactive, self-service dashboards in tools like Tableau or Power BI will empower stakeholders to find their own answers.

Connecting to Diverse Data Sources · Calculated Fields & Parameters · Dashboard Design Principles

  • This week: Replicate an existing simple dashboard in Tableau/Power BI using dummy data.
  • This month: Take an official Tableau or Power BI certification course (e.g., Desktop Specialist).
  • Month 2: Propose and build a small, internal dashboard for a specific team's needs.
  • Month 3: Get feedback on your dashboard from users and iterate on the design and functionality.

Quick win: Play around with different chart types in your BI tool and see how they change the story of the data. Experimentation is key.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly read industry blogs and publications (e.g., Marketing Week, WARC, Adweek) to stay on top of marketing trends and measurement techniques.
  • Attend webinars or online courses on advanced Excel, data visualisation (Tableau/Power BI), or marketing analytics.
  • Network with other marketing planning professionals to share best practices and learn from their experiences.
  • Take initiative to learn new features in our planning tools or explore how AI can automate your current tasks.

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 Global Marketing Planning Assistant 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.

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

Imagine getting a significant chunk of your week back, not by working less, but by working smarter. That's the reality with AI. We're not talking about replacing your job, but about giving you superpowers to tackle the tedious, time-consuming tasks that usually eat up your day.

In global marketing planning, AI isn't some far-off concept; it's here now, helping people like you make sense of mountains of data, automate repetitive tasks, and get to insights faster. Think of it as your super-efficient personal assistant, ready to take on the grunt work so you can focus on the stuff that actually matters.

Budget Consolidation Automation

Use an AI assistant (like a custom GPT or a tool like Coefficient) to automatically ingest dozens of differently formatted regional budget spreadsheets. The AI standardises categories, flags anomalies, and consolidates them into a single master budget file. No more manual copy-pasting and endless reconciliation—the AI does the heavy lifting, you just validate.

Predictive Performance Analysis

Leverage AI tools to analyse historical campaign data (spend, channel, creative, audience) and generate initial recommendations for budget allocation in a new plan. It can answer questions like, 'Based on past performance, what is the optimal media mix for a £500K product launch in Germany?' This means less time crunching numbers and more time interpreting what they mean.

Automated Competitive Intelligence Briefing

Set up an AI agent to monitor competitor earning calls, press releases, and social media campaigns. It generates a weekly summarised email briefing highlighting key strategic shifts, new messaging, and significant campaign launches. You'll get actionable insights dropped into your inbox, saving you hours of manual research and summarisation.

Meeting Summary & Action Item Generation

Use an AI meeting assistant (e.g., Otter.ai, Fathom) to transcribe complex multi-stakeholder planning meetings. The AI then automatically generates a concise summary, identifies key decisions, and drafts a list of action items with assigned owners. This means you can focus on the conversation, not frantic note-taking, and follow-ups are a breeze.

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 Global Marketing Planning Assistant, 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 16 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 Global Marketing Planning Assistant: 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 skills you'll gain in this role—data analysis, financial planning, project coordination, and stakeholder management—are highly transferable.
