Technical practice
How would you define the vision and strategy for an AI-driven product?
What to coverSuggested preparation: Explain how you would connect the product goal to a business objective and identify the stakeholders needed to shape it. Discuss how you would prioritize opportunities when expected value, feasibility and ethical considerations compete.
How would you assess an AI and data solution architecture for a proposed product?
What to coverSuggested preparation: Describe how you would examine data flows, model integration and operational constraints before recommending an approach. Explain the trade-offs you would bring to engineers, data scientists and stakeholders for a decision.
What decisions matter across the AI product lifecycle and deployment?
What to coverSuggested preparation: Walk through how you would plan for development, deployment, monitoring and subsequent changes. Explain how deployment choices affect the ability to evaluate performance and refine the product.
How would you determine whether an AI model is performing well enough for its product goal?
What to coverSuggested preparation: Discuss selecting measures that reflect the intended outcome and checking performance over time, rather than relying on a single result. Explain how you would decide when observed performance calls for investigation or refinement.
How would you use user feedback to improve an AI product?
What to coverSuggested preparation: Explain how you would gather and interpret feedback alongside model-performance evidence. Describe how you would prioritize an adjustment and evaluate whether it improved the user experience and business outcome.
How would you incorporate ethical considerations and governance throughout AI product development?
What to coverSuggested preparation: Identify the kinds of risks you would examine and how you would make them visible in product decisions across the lifecycle. Explain how you would balance a proposed improvement against its potential harms and governance obligations.
How would you turn a complex AI concept into an actionable business solution?
What to coverSuggested preparation: Show how you would explain the capability, limitations and expected value in terms a business stakeholder can use. Describe the decision or next step your explanation should enable, without overstating what the AI can deliver.
When would API management affect an AI product decision?
What to coverSuggested preparation: API Management is listed as a good-to-have skill, so this is optional practice. Discuss how access to an AI capability through APIs could affect integration, change management and coordination with other teams.
How would you decide whether an emerging AI trend merits a product change?
What to coverSuggested preparation: Explain how you would test its relevance against product goals, user feedback and the current solution’s performance. Discuss the trade-off between pursuing a new capability and improving what is already deployed.
Behavioural practice
Tell me about a time you aligned multiple teams around a product goal.
What to coverSuggested preparation: Use a real situation, your actions and the result to show how you clarified the goal and worked with different stakeholders. Explain how you handled competing priorities without losing sight of the business objective.
Describe a consequential decision you made while leading a team.
What to coverSuggested preparation: Choose a real example and cover the situation, the decision you owned, your actions and the result. Explain what evidence you used and how you communicated the decision to affected teams.
Tell me about a problem you solved that affected more than one team.
What to coverSuggested preparation: Set out the situation, what made the problem cross-team, the actions you took and the result. Highlight how you reached a workable solution when teams had different needs.
Describe how you helped a junior team member grow.
What to coverSuggested preparation: Give a real situation, the mentoring actions you took and the result for the person or team. Explain how you adapted your support to the development need rather than simply taking over the work.
Tell me about a time feedback changed your product direction.
What to coverSuggested preparation: Describe the original direction, the feedback or performance evidence, your response and the result. Explain how you decided what to change and how you assessed whether the change helped.
