1What this role really is

This isn't just about crunching numbers; it's about making sense of them and helping us figure out where we're headed. You'll be right there in the thick of it, owning key bits of our long-range financial plan and making sure the data tells a consistent story. Think of yourself as a detective for our future finances, spotting trends and flagging risks before they become problems. It's a proper hands-on role where your analysis genuinely helps shape our next moves.

2What you'd actually use

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

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 Accuracy for Assigned Components
The variance between your forecast for specific P&L or Balance Sheet line items (e.g., Opex, Capex) and the actual results.
Target · Within ±3% variance

Your Q3 Opex forecast was £1.2M, actual was £1.23M, which is a 2.5% variance – spot on.

Target · At least 1-2 instances per quarter

Your analysis on marketing spend ROI led to a reallocation of £50K in the Q4 budget, which was documented by the Marketing Director.

Clarity of Communication

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You'll spend a good chunk of your day diving deep into data, trying to figure out 'what if' scenarios for the business. It's like a big, ongoing financial puzzle where your solutions actually matter. You'll enjoy the process of untangling complex financial problems and building models that make sense of them.

Being given a vague question like 'how would a 10% interest rate hike impact our 3-year plan?' and enjoying the process of building the model to answer it.

Direct Business Impact

Your analysis won't just sit in a folder; it'll be presented to senior leaders and genuinely influence decisions on investments, market entry, or resource allocation. You'll get to see your work shape the company's future, which is pretty rewarding.

Seeing a specific recommendation from your market entry analysis incorporated into the next quarter's strategic priorities.

Continuous Learning & Growth

The market, our business, and the tools we use are always changing. You'll constantly be learning new modelling techniques, understanding new business drivers, and keeping up with economic trends. If you love expanding your knowledge, you'll thrive here.

Learning a new Power Query technique to automate data clean-up, or researching a new competitor's financial strategy.

What frustrates people
  • Spending 50% of your time just cleaning and validating data from different systems.
  • Getting conflicting assumptions from various departments for the same forecast.
  • Working on an 'urgent' ad-hoc request that gets shelved a day later.
  • Having to explain basic financial concepts repeatedly to non-finance colleagues.
  • Your well-researched analysis being overridden by a senior executive's 'instinct'.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, unchanging daily routine.
  • Direct people management responsibilities (at this level).
  • The ability to make final strategic decisions (you're the advisor, not the decider).
  • A quiet, isolated role where you just crunch numbers without interacting with others.

6Who you work with

Your analysis directly feeds into the company's annual operating plan and long-range strategy, influencing where we invest our capital and how we staff our teams. Accurate forecasts mean we can react quickly to market changes, while errors can lead to missed opportunities or overspending. You're a key cog in the financial planning machine, helping the business make informed, data-backed choices.

Inside the business
  • FP&A Team
  • Business Unit Finance Leads (e.g., Sales Finance, Operations Finance)
  • Product Management
  • Head of Commercial
  • IT/Finance Systems
Outside the business
  • N/A (mostly internal focus at this level)

7What you need before you start

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

  • At least 2-5 years of experience in a financial planning, FP&A, commercial finance, or similar analytical role.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain complex financial models in Excel.
  • Experience presenting financial analysis to non-finance stakeholders.
  • A solid understanding of core financial concepts and accounting principles.
  • The ability to work independently on assigned projects and manage your own deadlines effectively.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Data Visualisation & Storytelling

Executives are drowning in data. The ability to not just present numbers, but to tell a compelling, actionable story with visuals, will be crucial for influencing decisions.

Dashboard Design Principles · Narrative Flow · Interactive Reporting · Choosing the Right Chart

  • This week: Review existing Power BI/Tableau dashboards and identify 3 ways they could be improved for clarity.
  • This month: Take an online course on advanced data visualisation (e.g., from Tableau Public or DataCamp).
  • Month 2: Rebuild one of your recurring reports as an interactive dashboard, focusing on user experience.
  • Month 3: Present your new dashboard to a non-finance colleague and gather feedback on its clarity and usefulness.

Quick win: When creating your next presentation, challenge yourself to use 50% fewer numbers and 50% more visuals. Focus on the 'so what' of each chart.

Integrated Planning System Mastery (e.g., Anaplan, Workday Adaptive)

These systems are becoming the backbone of enterprise planning. Moving beyond basic use to understanding their architecture and integration capabilities will be vital for efficiency and accuracy.

Model Architecture · Advanced Formula Writing · Data Integration · User Experience Design

  • This week: Spend an hour exploring the 'model settings' and 'data integrations' sections of our current planning system.
  • This month: Complete an advanced training module offered by Anaplan or Workday Adaptive Planning.
  • Month 2: Propose and build a small, new module or report within the system that addresses a current pain point.
  • Month 3: Work with the Finance Systems team to troubleshoot a data flow issue, gaining deeper insight into system mechanics.

Quick win: Identify one manual data entry process in the planning system that could be automated or streamlined, and propose a solution.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Enrolling in advanced Excel modelling courses, especially those covering Power Query and VBA.
  • Attending industry conferences or webinars focused on financial planning, corporate strategy, or specific sector trends.
  • Pursuing one of the preferred professional certifications mentioned above.
  • Taking courses on data visualisation tools like Power BI or Tableau to enhance your storytelling capabilities.
  • Joining internal or external finance communities to share knowledge 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 Strategic Planning 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.

Where it leads

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:

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 on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of financial planning can be repetitive. Imagine if you could cut down on the manual grind and spend more time on the really interesting stuff – the actual strategic thinking. That's where AI comes in. We're leaning into AI tools to make your day-to-day work smoother, faster, and frankly, a lot less tedious.

You might think AI is just for tech roles, but it's quickly becoming indispensable in finance. For a Strategic Planning Manager, this means less time wrestling with spreadsheets and more time delivering high-value insights. We're building an internal AI hub to help you get started quickly and see the benefits almost immediately.

Automated Data Aggregation

Use AI-powered connectors in tools like Power Query or specialised platforms to automatically pull, clean, and consolidate financial and operational data from all our different systems (ERP, CRM, HRIS). This cuts out hours of manual CSV exports and data wrangling, letting you get straight to the analysis.

Enhanced Scenario Analysis

Move beyond basic 'upside/downside' scenarios. AI/ML tools can run thousands of Monte Carlo simulations on your financial models, spotting hidden risks and non-linear relationships that you'd never find manually. You'll also use AI to generate more robust baseline forecasts based on historical data and macro-economic inputs, giving you a much stronger starting point.

AI-Powered Market Intelligence

Forget sifting through hundreds of competitor reports and news articles. AI platforms can scan, summarise, and flag key strategic shifts, risks, and opportunities from competitor earnings calls, SEC filings, and market news. This means you get the critical insights in minutes, not hours, helping you stay ahead.

Narrative Generation for Reports

Ever stare at a blank page trying to write the commentary for your monthly performance review or board update? Use Generative AI to create the first draft of your narrative. Feed it your key data tables and charts, and ask it to explain the variances and business drivers. You'll then refine it, saving significant time on initial drafting.

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 Strategic Planning 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 2 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 Strategic Planning 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.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll build here are highly transferable. You could move into corporate development, investor relations, management consulting, or even into a general management role within a business unit, leveraging your strategic and financial acumen.
