Technical practice
How would you design an operating model that combines RPA with AI agents across Operations?
What to coverThe role calls for scalable bots that combine automation with AI reasoning and decision support. Suggested preparation: explain how you would assign tasks to each approach, coordinate handoffs, and evaluate efficiency, quality and customer outcomes.
How would you decide whether an AI agent should execute, assist or escalate a decision?
What to coverThe posting explicitly distinguishes these three modes for operational journeys. Suggested preparation: discuss decision risk, confidence, exceptions and the point at which human review is necessary.
How would you turn an operational journey into requirements for a bot?
What to coverThe role involves working with subject-matter experts, gathering requirements and partnering with the PACS technology team on development. Suggested preparation: describe how you would document the workflow, decisions, exceptions and acceptance criteria before agreeing on base functionality.
How would you design and roll out a co-pilot for an Operations workflow?
What to coverThe posting assigns this role leadership of co-pilot design and rollout. Suggested preparation: address the user’s task, how the co-pilot supports rather than obscures decisions, and how you would assess whether it improves the workflow.
How would you use a co-pilot in Operations analytics for workload planning?
What to coverThe role calls for insights and forecasting models to support workload planning and identify potential issues. Suggested preparation: explain how you would evaluate forecast usefulness, communicate uncertainty and turn findings into operational decisions.
How would you make an AI use case reusable across platforms?
What to coverThe posting calls for use cases that can be plugged into multiple platforms. Suggested preparation: discuss which capabilities and decision rules should be shared, what must remain specific to a workflow, and how reuse affects consistency and maintenance.
How would you advise senior leaders on whether an AI use case merits investment?
What to coverThe role includes advising on material value, scalable use cases and design decisions for Operations transformation. Suggested preparation: compare expected operational and customer outcomes with delivery effort, governance needs and the risk of fragmented solutions.
What would you put in an Operations AI rulebook?
What to coverThe posting specifies decision boundaries, human-in-the-loop requirements and consistent AI behaviour across journeys. Suggested preparation: explain how you would make those rules actionable while preserving decision quality and avoiding unnecessary tool proliferation.
How would you establish quality assurance for operational AI agents?
What to coverThe role calls for a framework covering accuracy, stability, bias, drift monitoring and escalation. Suggested preparation: describe how you would test behaviour before rollout, monitor it afterward and respond when quality falls below acceptable bounds.
How would you align an Operations AI design with broader governance expectations?
What to coverThe posting requires alignment with Group AI governance, ethics principles and regulatory expectations, without naming a specific standard. Suggested preparation: explain how you would check a proposed design against those requirements and resolve conflicts before scaling it.
Behavioural practice
Tell me about a time you influenced stakeholders with different views on an AI or operations change.
What to coverThe posting emphasizes stakeholder relationships, communication and influence. Suggested preparation: use a real situation, your actions to understand and reconcile the views, and the resulting decision or outcome.
Describe a time you led an AI use case from operational need through delivery with other teams.
What to coverThe role involves partnering with subject-matter experts and a technology team, and calls for experience leading AI use cases. Suggested preparation: give the situation, your specific coordination and requirements decisions, and the result.
Give an example of advising leaders on a difficult investment or design trade-off.
What to coverThe posting calls for commercial judgment and advice to senior leaders on scalable AI use cases. Suggested preparation: explain the competing options, the evidence and recommendation you provided, and what happened.
Tell me about a time you independently resolved a fast-moving delivery problem.
What to coverThe role seeks proactive, self-driven execution and strong follow-through in a dynamic environment. Suggested preparation: describe the situation, how you prioritized and acted, and the result without overstating your individual contribution.
Describe a time you identified a quality or governance concern and changed course.
What to coverThe posting stresses AI assurance, escalation, discretion and continuous improvement. Suggested preparation: use a real situation, the actions you took to raise and address the concern, and the resulting improvement or lesson.
