Start the check, free

1What this role really is

This role is all about owning a significant chunk of our big strategic projects. You'll be the person who takes a complex problem, breaks it down, and then actually gets the work done, often guiding junior team members. Think of yourself as a mini-project lead within the wider Corporate Strategy team. You're not just crunching numbers; you're helping shape the story and making sure the analysis holds up when the execs start asking tough questions.

2What you'd actually use

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

Building complex financial models, cleaning messy data sets with Power Query, performing scenario analysis, and occasionally automating tasks with VBA. You'll be teaching others how to use it effectively.

Microsoft PowerPoint (Think-Cell)Expert

Creating compelling, executive-level presentations from scratch, often using Think-Cell for integrated charting, to tell a clear strategic story. Your decks will be the final output for many projects.

Tableau / Power BIAdvanced

Designing and building interactive dashboards to explore data, answer specific business questions, and present findings visually. You'll be comfortable with calculated fields and data blending.

Miro / FigJamFacilitator

Designing and leading virtual whiteboarding sessions for strategy workshops, brainstorming, or customer journey mapping. You'll create templates and guide group collaboration.

Confluence / NotionOwner

Managing the knowledge base for your strategic programs, establishing documentation standards, and ensuring project information is current and easily accessible to the team.

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
Analytical Methodology SelectionProposes options, requires full approval from Manager.Selects methodology for routine problems, consults Manager for novel ones.Full authority for technical methodology within workstream scope; consults Manager on significant deviations from standard practice.
Project Timeline & Scope Changes (within workstream)Escalates all requests for changes to Manager.Proposes minor adjustments to Manager for approval.Can approve minor internal adjustments (e.g., shifting internal deadlines by a day or two) but must inform Manager of any changes impacting overall project timeline or external deliverables, and consult on scope changes.
Stakeholder Communication (mid-level)Drafts communications, Manager reviews and approves before sending.Initiates and manages routine communications; Manager reviews key messages.Independently communicates with mid-level stakeholders, 'socialising findings' and managing expectations. Informs Manager of any critical discussions or potential conflicts.
Research Vendor Selection (small scale)Identifies potential vendors, Manager makes selection.Recommends preferred vendor from pre-approved list, Manager approves.Recommends and selects vendors for research up to £10K, informing Manager. Requires Manager approval for anything above this threshold or for new, unvetted vendors.

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.

Workstream Completion Rate
Percentage of assigned strategic workstreams delivered on time and within scope.
Target · 90%+ on time, 100% in scope

If you're leading the competitive analysis workstream for a new market entry, we'd expect that report, including all the data and recommendations, to be ready by the agreed deadline for the SteerCo meeting.

Recommendation Adoption Rate
Proportion of your key recommendations that are formally approved and moved into implementation by business unit leaders.
Target · 70% adoption rate across your projects

You recommended a specific pricing strategy for a new product, and the Product team adopted it. That counts. If they ignored it, it doesn't.

Analytical Accuracy & Rigour
The number of significant errors or fundamental flaws found in your models, data analysis, or financial projections by peers or senior leaders.
Target · Fewer than 2 minor errors per project; zero critical errors

Catching that the market size calculation was off by 20% before it reached the VP is good. Having the VP find it is not. We're talking about the integrity of the numbers here.

Mentee Development & Impact
The observable growth and increased independence of junior analysts you've informally mentored on projects.
Target · At least one junior analyst showing clear progress in independence and quality of work per year.

A junior analyst you've worked with can now independently build a basic market model, where six months ago they needed constant guidance. That's a win.

Stakeholder Engagement & Influence
How effectively you build relationships, understand diverse perspectives, and guide stakeholders towards a shared understanding or decision, even when there's disagreement.
  • Business unit leaders proactively consult you for input on their plans
  • your insights are referenced in meetings
  • you're able to 'socialise' findings effectively before formal presentations, meaning fewer surprises in the room. People trust your judgment and come to you with problems.
Problem Structuring & Hypothesis Generation
Your ability to take a vague, messy business problem and break it down into a clear, logical structure with testable hypotheses, using frameworks like MECE.
  • Your project plans and analytical approaches are clear and logical, even to non-experts. You ask sharp, incisive questions that get to the root of the issue. You're not just answering the question, you're making sure it's the right question to answer.
Narrative & Storytelling Quality
The clarity, conciseness, and persuasiveness of your strategic recommendations, especially in presentations to senior audiences.
  • Your presentations are easy to follow, even for someone who hasn't seen the data before. You can distil complex analysis into a compelling, executive-level story. Leadership understands the 'so what' and 'now what' without having to dig for it.
Proactive Issue Resolution
Your tendency to spot potential roadblocks—like missing data or a looming stakeholder conflict—and address them before they derail a project.
  • You flag risks early in project updates. You've already thought of a Plan B when a data source falls through. You don't wait for problems to become crises
  • you tackle them head-on.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You'll spend your days grappling with ambiguous business problems—'Should we enter this new market?', 'How do we double our customer base in three years?'—and systematically breaking them down into solvable pieces. It's like being a detective for the business.

Being given a vague question like 'optimise our customer acquisition' and turning it into a structured analysis plan with clear hypotheses and data requirements.

Direct Impact on Big Decisions

Your analysis and recommendations won't just sit in a drawer. They'll be presented to VPs, Directors, and sometimes even the C-suite, directly influencing where the company invests its money and effort. You'll see your work shape the future.

Seeing a new product initiative get the green light, knowing your business case was a core part of the approval process.

Continuous Learning & Growth

You'll constantly be exposed to new industries, business models, and analytical techniques. Every project is a chance to learn something new and stretch your capabilities, often working alongside very smart people. It's never boring, if you like learning.

Moving from a project focused on supply chain efficiency to one about digital marketing strategy within the same quarter, requiring you to quickly get up to speed on new domains.

What frustrates people
  • Spending 80% of your time on 'data janitor duty'—chasing, cleaning, and validating messy data from disparate sources.
  • Watching a clear, decisive recommendation get watered down into a bland, meaningless consensus statement to appease every single stakeholder.
  • The 'fire drill' at 5 PM on a Friday for a meeting that might get cancelled anyway.
  • Feeling like a high-paid graphic designer, spending hours tweaking PowerPoint formatting instead of doing deep thinking.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable 9-to-5 schedule every single day.
  • The satisfaction of seeing every single piece of your work implemented.
  • A quiet, solitary analytical environment; you'll be interacting with people constantly.
  • A role where you only focus on one specific industry or functional area for years.

6Who you work with

You'll directly influence the strategic direction of specific business units or product lines by providing robust analysis and recommendations. Your work helps shape investment decisions, market entry strategies, and operational improvements, ultimately contributing to our overall growth and profitability targets. Get it right, and we're making smart bets; get it wrong, and we could be chasing dead ends.

Inside the business
  • Strategy Manager/Lead Strategist (your direct report)
  • Business Unit VPs and Directors (for specific project work)
  • Finance (especially FP&A for modelling inputs)
  • Product & Marketing Leads (for market insights and go-to-market strategies)
Outside the business
  • External research providers (e.g., Gartner, Forrester)
  • Specialist consultants (occasionally, for niche expertise)
  • Industry experts (for interviews and insights)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (5+ years) in a demanding analytical or strategic role, ideally in consulting, corporate strategy, or a fast-paced in-house strategy function.
  • Demonstrable ability to independently lead complex analytical workstreams from start to finish.
  • A strong track record of building robust financial and business models that have informed real-world decisions.
  • Experience presenting complex information clearly and persuasively to senior audiences.
  • A solid understanding of core strategic frameworks and how to apply them to real business problems.
  • Experience informally mentoring junior colleagues or guiding project teams.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Scenario & Sensitivity Analysis

The business environment is increasingly volatile. Leaders need to understand not just the base case, but a wide range of potential futures. Your models need to reflect this complexity and provide clear insights into risk and opportunity.

Monte Carlo Simulations · Decision Trees & Game Theory · Real Options Analysis

  • This quarter: Integrate basic sensitivity tables into all your financial models.
  • Next quarter: Explore and apply a simple Monte Carlo simulation using Excel add-ins or Python for one project.
  • Within 6 months: Read up on Real Options theory and discuss its application with your Manager.

Quick win: For your next model, instead of just a base case, create a 'best case' and 'worst case' scenario, clearly outlining the assumptions for each. It's a simple step but adds immediate value.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly reading leading business publications (e.g., Harvard Business Review, McKinsey Quarterly, The Economist) to stay abreast of strategic thinking and market trends.
  • Attending industry conferences or webinars relevant to our sector to expand your network and knowledge.
  • Participating in internal cross-functional projects to gain broader business exposure.
  • Seeking out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues and develop your informal 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

Honestly, competitors are already using large language models (LLMs) to draft reports in 10 minutes that used to take 2 hours. Analysts who figure this out will outproduce their peers significantly. This isn't a 'nice to have' anymore; it's becoming a 'must-have' for efficiency and speed.

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 Strategic Projects Support 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.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a lot of what we do in strategy involves sifting through mountains of data, drafting reports, and building models. What if you could get a serious head start on all of that? Our team is already using AI to cut down on the grunt work, freeing us up for the real strategic thinking.

We're not talking about replacing your brain; we're talking about giving you a seriously powerful assistant. Imagine having an AI that can do the heavy lifting on research, model setup, and even drafting your executive summaries. This isn't just about efficiency; it's about elevating your role to focus on interpretation, insight, and influence, not just execution.

Automated Market Intelligence Briefings

Imagine an AI agent constantly scanning news, competitor earnings calls, and patent filings. It then generates a daily 'what you need to know' summary, complete with sentiment analysis, tailored to your current project. This cuts out hours of manual scanning and synthesis.

First-Draft Scenario Modeling

Use AI code interpreters (like in ChatGPT Advanced Data Analysis) to generate the Python or VBA skeleton for a financial model based on plain-language prompts. For example, 'Build a 5-year DCF model for a SaaS company with three revenue streams.' This accelerates your initial setup, letting you focus on refining assumptions and the nuanced logic, not the basic build.

Rapid Research Synthesis

Feed 20 industry reports, 10 academic papers, and 5 internal strategy documents into a large context window AI. Then, ask it to synthesize the top 5 strategic risks, identify contradictory data points, and generate a summary of key market growth drivers. This turns days of reading into minutes of focused review.

Executive Narrative & Deck Generation

Paste your raw analytical outputs, bullet points, and key takeaways into an AI. Prompt it to 'Write a compelling 3-page executive summary for a skeptical CFO' or 'Generate a 10-slide PowerPoint deck from this analysis, including titles, speaker notes, and chart recommendations.' This helps you get to a strong first draft much faster, letting you polish the story.

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 Strategic Projects Support, 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 3 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 Strategic Projects Support: 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.
