  • February 29, 2024

When interviewing for product operations roles, it’s essential to cut through the fluff and focus on the core skills that matter. While this is in no way an exhaustive list, this article offers a set of questions that get to the heart of a candidate’s skills and experience, helping hiring managers better determine whether the experiences of a product ops candidate are relevant.

1. Walk me through the structure and processes of the product org when you joined. What were you hired to achieve?

2. Fast-forward to today. Outline the current state of the product org and how your contribution has delivered value.

3. Share a specific example of a challenging situation and how you navigated that.

4. How do you use qualitative and quantitative data to make informed decisions for product and operations? Provide an example.

5. How do you identify opportunities to improve product operations? Share an example of a process you optimized and its impact.

 

Hiring for product operations is all about practical skills and real-world experience. Through these questions, you’ll better assess whether potential candidates have the right decision-making skills and experiences to excel in your organization. Ultimately, we hope these questions help organizations make smart hiring decisions that drive success.

Searching for that “hell yes” hire? Discover the five unmistakable signs that indicate you’ve found the right candidate for your team.
