<aside> ⚠️ This document serves as a general template of the areas of focus that we believe will help set you up for success in this role. It does not holistically cover all possible types of questions you may encounter in the interview process.

</aside>

• Introductory Call: 30 minutes
• Hiring Manager Screen: 45 minutes
• Skills Screen - 2 x 60 minute interviews
• Virtual Onsite - ~60 minutes

<aside> 💡 Here are some criteria that have made candidates successful in the past:

• Clear evidence that they will take the reigns, operate autonomously, and move boulders.
• Evidence that they can handle curveballs in product thinking instead of biasing towards cookie-cutter frameworks such as the CIRCLES framework without critically thinking about the problems in front of them or framing/contextualizing things in their own way.
• Being great storytellers who are also clear and concise.
• Showing the ability to form big ideas that are galvanizing, showing that they generate energy and excitement around the impact of those ideas.
• Showing the ability to think one week to six months to five years into the future — contextualizing tactical decisions around their broader, strategic impact.
• Showing the ability to be practical and thoughtful in prioritization and form the story behind how their decisions evolve over time.
• Evidence that they are great listeners and able to understand, process, and act on the needs of a variety of audiences thoughtfully </aside>

The following guides are some general templates for the kinds of content that may be tested within your interview.

There are resources linked; many of those resources are opinionated in different ways. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to thinking about product problems, but these may be useful in guiding your thinking.

• Values and Product Culture
• General Product Skills
• Technical Skills
• Financial Domain and Customer Empathy

How to shine

• We love when people pull up a Miro board or Excalidraw, or other tools to help visually express and organize what they’re talking about during an interview.
• We love specificity - and discussion of real-world constraints. We’re not interested in hearing back the theory or frameworks that you’ve read in an article; we’re interested in how you critically thought about practical, real-world problems.
