Interview tips
I would recommend thoroughly reviewing the job description and preparing specific examples that demonstrate problem-solving, ownership, stakeholder management, and measurable impact. Be ready to discuss past projects in detail, explain your decision-making process, and connect your experience to the team's goals. Practicing behavioral questions using the STAR method would also be helpful.
Company culture
The emphasis on collaboration, ownership, and delivering meaningful customer impact stood out to me. The opportunity to work across functions and solve practical business problems was particularly appealing. The conversations offered useful insight into the team's expectations and the impact the role could have.
