1What this role really is

This role is all about digging into the 'how' and 'where' of our logistics. You'll be the one building the models that show us the best way to move our stuff around, figuring out where our next warehouse should go, or how to get products to customers faster without breaking the bank. It's less about day-to-day firefighting and more about figuring out the big picture problems for the future. You'll get to see how your analysis directly shapes our physical network, which is pretty cool if you ask me.

2What you'd actually use

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

Coupa Supply Chain Design & Planning (formerly LLamasoft)Intermediate

Running pre-built network models, performing basic scenario analysis (e.g., adding a new DC, changing a transport lane), validating input data, and interpreting standard outputs. You'll be comfortable navigating the interface and understanding the core logic.

SAP S/4HANA (TM & EWM modules)Intermediate

Extracting master data like locations, products, and freight rates. Understanding basic transaction flows within the system (e.g., how an order moves through the warehouse) and running standard reports to gather data for your models.

Advanced Excel (Power Query, Solver)Expert

Building complex financial models, automating data cleaning with Power Query, using Solver for optimisation problems, and generally being the go-to person for anything spreadsheet-related. You'll be using this every single day.

SQL (PostgreSQL, T-SQL)Intermediate

Writing basic to moderately complex SELECT statements with joins to pull specific datasets from our databases. You'll be able to identify data integrity issues by querying directly and help prepare data exports for modelling tools.

Tableau / Power BIIntermediate

Building clear, interactive dashboards from existing data sources to visualise model inputs, outputs, and key performance indicators. You'll use filters and parameters to allow stakeholders to explore the data themselves.

Miro / LucidchartIntermediate

Leading brainstorming sessions, mapping out current and proposed logistics processes, and creating visualisations of network designs to communicate ideas effectively with other teams. These are great for collaborative problem-solving.

3What 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 inWhere you are nowThe step above
Data Sourcing & Cleaning MethodologyFollows established procedures; escalates if data is unavailable or highly inconsistent.Independently selects and applies appropriate methods for data sourcing, cleaning, and transformation. Proposes new methods for efficiency.Defines best practices and standards for data governance and quality across strategic projects. Mentors others on complex data challenges.
Model Design & Scenario DefinitionRuns pre-built models with provided scenarios; validates input data.Designs and builds simple to moderately complex models.

Recommendation & PresentationPrepares findings based on templates; presents to immediate team.Develops clear recommendations based on analysis; presents to cross-functional peers and mid-level managers.Develops strategic recommendations for senior leadership; confidently defends findings and influences decision-making.
Project PrioritisationWorks on tasks assigned by supervisor.Manages own workload across 2-3 concurrent projects, escalating conflicts to Senior Strategist.Prioritises a portfolio of projects for a workstream, balancing strategic impact with resource availability.

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.

Model Input Data Accuracy
The percentage of data points you use in your models that are validated as correct and consistent.
Target · Less than 1% error rate on critical data fields (e.g., location coordinates, freight rates, product dimensions).

You're building a network model and find that 0.5% of our location data has incorrect postcodes. Your job is to catch and fix this before the model runs.

Analysis Turnaround Time
How quickly you can deliver a completed analysis or model run for a defined request.
Target · Delivers standard analysis (e.g., cost-to-serve for a new product) within 5 working days, complex model runs within 15 working days.

A request comes in on Monday for a quick cost-to-serve analysis on a new product line. You deliver the initial findings by Friday afternoon, giving the commercial team time to review.

Identified Cost Savings/Service Improvements
The value of potential cost savings or service improvements identified through your analysis and modelling.
Target · Projects you lead or significantly contribute to identify a minimum of £250K in annualised savings or a 2% improvement in a key service metric (e.g., OTIF).

Your analysis shows that by consolidating two regional distribution centres into one, we could save £300K a year in operating costs and reduce transit times by half a day for 60% of our customers.

Model Utilisation Rate
The percentage of your completed models or analyses that are actually used by a stakeholder to make a decision or inform a strategy.
Target · At least 70% of your completed strategic analyses are actively referenced or acted upon by relevant stakeholders.

You build a brilliant model for a new transport route. The transport manager then uses your findings to re-tender a lane and secure a new, more efficient carrier.

Clarity of Recommendations
How well you can explain complex analytical findings and trade-offs to non-technical audiences, ensuring they understand the 'so what'.
  • Stakeholders consistently express clear understanding of your presentations
  • they can articulate your key findings back to you
  • you're not constantly asked to 'dumb it down' or re-explain the basics. People actually use your slides to explain things to their own teams.
Proactive Problem Identification
Your ability to spot potential issues or opportunities in our logistics network before others do, using data and your understanding of the business.
  • You bring forward ideas for analysis that weren't explicitly requested but address a clear business need
  • you highlight data anomalies that indicate a deeper operational problem
  • you're often the first to flag a potential efficiency gain or cost risk.
Collaboration & Data Partnership
How effectively you work with other teams to gather data, validate assumptions, and ensure your models reflect operational reality.
  • Other teams readily provide you with data and insights
  • they trust your requests and understand why you need specific information
  • you're seen as someone who helps them, not just someone who asks for data. People actually answer your emails quickly.
Continuous Learning & Tool Proficiency
Your commitment to improving your analytical skills, staying current with logistics strategy tools, and applying new techniques.
  • You're actively experimenting with new features in our modelling software
  • you share learning resources or new analytical approaches with the team
  • you proactively seek feedback on your model design and analytical methods.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You get a real buzz from taking a messy, ill-defined problem – like 'how do we get products to Scotland faster?' – and breaking it down into data points, building a model, and finding a clear, optimal solution. You enjoy the intellectual challenge of untangling complex operational knots.

Spending a full day deep in a network modelling tool, tweaking parameters and running scenarios, feels like a productive and enjoyable challenge rather than a chore.

Making a Tangible Impact

You're motivated by seeing your analysis and recommendations actually get put into practice and make a real difference to the business. It’s not just about producing reports; it’s about seeing those reports drive change and improve our operations.

The satisfaction of driving past a new warehouse that you helped justify and design, knowing your numbers made it happen.

Continuous Learning & Improvement

You're always looking for better ways to do things – a more efficient model, a new data source, a different analytical technique. You enjoy staying on top of industry trends and bringing new ideas to the team.

Spending an evening reading up on the latest in multi-echelon inventory optimisation or experimenting with a new feature in Coupa Supply Chain Design.

What frustrates people
  • Spending 60% of your time cleaning and validating master data from the ERP before you can even begin the actual strategic analysis.
  • The constant battle between the sales team's 'sandbagged' or overly optimistic forecast and the statistical forecast your model produces. You're always the one who has to bridge that gap.
  • Presenting a beautiful, optimised network plan that gets dismantled piece by piece due to political turf wars, legacy real estate deals, or a sudden acquisition.
  • The 'urgent' fire drill: being pulled from a critical network redesign project to spend three days analysing the impact of a minor tariff change because an executive is panicking.
What this role does not give you
  • A perfectly clean dataset to work with every day.
  • Immediate implementation of every single recommendation you make.
  • A quiet, solitary environment where you just build models without interacting with others.
  • Absolute control over all the variables that impact your models (e.g., sales forecasts, market changes).

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our operational efficiency and cost structure. Your analysis helps us decide on things like where to put new distribution centres, how many trucks we need, and how much stock to hold. Get it right, and we're talking millions in savings or significant improvements in customer delivery times. Get it wrong, and we could be looking at wasted investment or major service failures. Essentially, you're building the foundations for how we operate in the future.

Inside the business
  • Operations Managers (Warehousing & Transport)
  • Inventory Planning Team
  • Finance Business Partners
  • Sales & Commercial Teams (for demand insights)
  • IT & Data Teams (for data access)
Outside the business
  • Logistics Software Vendors (e.g., Coupa, AnyLogistix support)
  • Consultancy Partners (on larger projects)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (2-5 years) in a data-intensive analytical role within logistics, supply chain, or operations.
  • Demonstrable experience building and manipulating complex datasets using advanced Excel and SQL.
  • Experience with at least one dedicated network optimisation software (e.g., Coupa, AnyLogistix) or similar simulation tool.
  • A track record of presenting complex analytical findings clearly to non-technical audiences.
  • The ability to work independently on defined projects, managing your own time and deliverables.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Python for Data Science & Optimisation

While Excel and SQL are foundational, Python offers far more flexibility and power for complex data manipulation, statistical modelling, and custom optimisation algorithms. As our data grows and problems become more nuanced, Python will become essential for deeper analysis and automation.

Pandas for Data Wrangling · NumPy for Numerical Operations · SciPy & Scikit-learn for Statistical Modelling · PuLP or Pyomo for Optimisation

  • This week: Complete a free online Python for Data Science course (e.g., on Coursera or DataCamp).
  • This month: Replicate one of your existing Excel data cleaning tasks using Pandas in Python.
  • Month 2: Build a simple inventory optimisation model using PuLP or Pyomo in Python, comparing its output to a manual calculation.
  • Month 3: Start using Python for routine data extraction and analysis, gradually replacing some of your more complex SQL queries or Excel macros.

Quick win: Automate a simple, repetitive data extraction or cleaning task using a Python script. Even a small win will save you time and build your confidence.

Cloud-Based Analytics & Data Warehousing Concepts

Our data infrastructure is moving to the cloud (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud). Understanding how data is stored, processed, and accessed in a cloud environment will be crucial for efficient data sourcing and collaboration with IT.

Data Lake vs. Data Warehouse · Basic Cloud Storage Services (e.g., S3, Azure Blob) · SQL in the Cloud (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery) · Data Governance in Cloud Environments

  • This week: Read an introductory article on cloud data warehousing (e.g., 'What is Snowflake?').
  • This month: Work with our IT team to understand how our internal data is structured in our cloud environment.
  • Month 2: Take an introductory course on a cloud platform's data services (e.g., AWS S3 basics, Azure Data Lake).
  • Month 3: Propose a more efficient way to access a specific dataset by leveraging cloud capabilities, working with IT.

Quick win: Ask our IT team for a quick 30-minute overview of our cloud data architecture. Just getting the lay of the land will be a huge help.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry conferences or webinars on logistics technology and supply chain strategy (e.g., LogiMat, Supply Chain Europe).
  • Participating in online courses or workshops to deepen your skills in Python, advanced Excel modelling, or specific optimisation software.
  • Joining professional networks or forums for supply chain professionals to share insights and learn from peers.
  • Reading key industry publications and academic journals to stay abreast of new research and best practices.

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 Logistics Strategist 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.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a big chunk of a Strategist's job can feel a bit like sifting through mountains of data just to find the gold. But what if you could automate the tedious bits and focus on the really interesting strategic thinking? That's where AI comes in. We're building an AI Productivity Hub to help you do just that.

For a Logistics Strategist, AI isn't about replacing your brain; it's about giving you superpowers. Imagine slashing the time you spend on data prep, getting more accurate forecasts, and even drafting executive summaries in minutes. Our AI Hub will give you the tools and know-how to make this a reality, letting you spend more time on the 'what if' and 'how to' questions that truly drive value.

Automated Data Pipeline for Modelling

Use AI-powered tools to automatically ingest, clean, standardise, and blend data from SAP, TMS, and freight auditor systems. This means less time wrestling with spreadsheets and more time actually building models. Honestly, it's a game-changer for 'garbage in, garbage out' problems.

Enhanced Demand & Transit Time Forecasting

Leverage machine learning models to generate more accurate demand forecasts that incorporate external factors like weather or economic indicators. You'll also predict transportation lane transit times by analysing historical carrier data and real-time variables, reducing manual forecast adjustments significantly.

Executive Summary & Scenario Narrative Generation

After running multiple network scenarios (e.g., 'add a DC in Phoenix'), use a Large Language Model to draft the initial executive summary. Feed it the key outputs (cost, service, risk scores) and have it generate a clear, concise narrative comparing the trade-offs for a non-technical audience. It won't be perfect, but it'll give you a brilliant starting point.

Automated Data Anomaly Detection

Deploy AI to continuously scan large datasets for outliers, inconsistencies, or potential errors that could throw off your models. It's like having an extra pair of eyes that never gets tired, flagging issues before they become major problems in your analysis. This helps you maintain that crucial data accuracy.

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