Technical practice
How would you audit workflows and prioritize automation opportunities across business functions?
What to coverThe role calls for auditing leasing, residential sales, PMO, finance, and transactions for high-ROI opportunities. Suggested preparation: explain how you would map actual work, establish a baseline, and weigh value, feasibility, data readiness, and adoption effort.
How would you turn a business problem into a working solution using an LLM API?
What to coverThe posting emphasizes personally building and shipping practical solutions with LLM APIs. Suggested preparation: describe the path from requirements and prototype to deployment, including how you would test output quality and handle failures.
How would you design and evaluate a retrieval-based document workflow?
What to coverRAG is a must-have area, while lease abstraction and document intelligence are listed as preferred experience. Suggested preparation: discuss document preparation, retrieval quality, evidence for generated answers, and checks for incomplete or incorrect results.
When would you use an AI agent rather than a more constrained workflow?
What to coverThe posting names AI agents and intelligent workflows alongside practical automation. Suggested preparation: compare flexibility with predictability, and explain where approval steps or limits on automated actions would be appropriate.
How would you design and troubleshoot an automation in a workflow platform?
What to coverThe role names platforms such as n8n, Zapier, and Power Automate, without requiring one specific platform. Suggested preparation: walk through triggers, handoffs, error handling, and how you would identify a failed or duplicated run.
How would you integrate a new workflow with existing CRM and accounting or ERP systems?
What to coverIntegration with CRM, accounting or ERP, and other operational tools is an explicit responsibility. Suggested preparation: address data ownership, record matching, synchronization, permissions, and how you would avoid disrupting existing work.
What data hygiene would you establish before automating a fragmented process?
What to coverThe role includes foundational data hygiene and documentation; experience with fragmented data and legacy systems is preferred. Suggested preparation: explain how you would identify inconsistent records, define usable fields, and make data-quality problems visible before scaling a solution.
How would you decide whether to build, buy, or integrate an AI or automation tool?
What to coverEvaluating build-versus-buy-versus-integrate options is a stated responsibility. Suggested preparation: compare implementation cost and speed, fit with existing systems, maintainability, and the business value each option can realistically deliver.
How would you take a prototype through to a dependable working implementation?
What to coverThe posting seeks enough full-stack capability to move from problem definition through prototype to implementation without relying entirely on another engineering team. Suggested preparation: explain what you would validate in a prototype, what must change for day-to-day use, and how you would resolve a problem uncovered after release.
How would you measure whether an automation delivered business value?
What to coverThe role calls for reporting outcomes such as time saved, costs, throughput, productivity, and data quality to senior leadership. Suggested preparation: define a baseline, implementation cost, adoption measure, and outcome metric, then explain how those findings would inform the roadmap.
Behavioural practice
Tell me about an AI or automation program you personally owned end to end.
What to coverThe posting says candidates should be prepared to discuss what they built, what went wrong, how they fixed it, and its impact and cost. Suggested practice: use a real situation, specify your own actions from discovery through deployment, and give a measured result where available.
Describe a time a team resisted a new workflow you were introducing.
What to coverDriving adoption and managing resistance are central to the role. Suggested practice: describe the situation, what you did to understand and address objections, and what changed in actual day-to-day usage.
Give an example of aligning non-technical leaders on an automation priority.
What to coverThe role involves business leaders and functional heads and requires presenting progress in business metrics. Suggested practice: explain the competing priorities, how you framed the decision, and the resulting agreement or outcome.
Describe a time you directed a small team or vendor while remaining hands-on.
What to coverThe posting allows for leading internal staff or vendors while initially operating as a hands-on individual contributor. Suggested practice: give a real situation, distinguish what you built from what you delegated, and explain the delivery result.
Tell me about a time you chose business value over a more ambitious technical solution.
What to coverThe role emphasizes commercial judgment and measurable operational impact rather than experimentation alone. Suggested practice: describe the trade-off, the action you took, and evidence of the outcome without overstating what the technology achieved.
