Here’s the FULL LIST of interview questions for the SENIOR MANAGER / DIRECTOR INTERVIEW:
Q1. Tell me about yourself.
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“My name is [INSERT NAME], and thank you very much for giving me this opportunity today to be interviewed for a senior managers position with your organization. I would describe myself as a high-achieving, strategically focused, and commercially driven senior manager who has a track record of achievement within this industry. Over the years, I have led and transformed difficult teams. I have driven sales. I have implemented change and regularly achieved really difficult targets. In my last role, I managed to turn around a difficult team that had historical behavioral issues, and I achieved that goal by providing the right training to all team members by undertaking regular performance reviews. I also empowered the senior team members to reach their full potential, and I used a style of leadership that everyone would respond to. My key selling points include the fact that I am an energetic leader. I have the ability to motivate the most difficult of employees. I always set high expectations and I will always support the company directors. If you hire me in the senior manager position, I am confident you will see a positive return on your investment. I will help you to increase company revenue. I will always embrace change and implement it quickly to make sure that you maintain your position as a market leader within this industry.”
Q2. Why do you want to be a senior manager?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I want to be a senior manager, primarily because of the level of responsibility that comes with the role. I am the type of person who thrives on leading difficult teams. I can do that due to my unique management approach and also the fact that I have high levels of confidence and I also want to be accountable at the highest level possible within an organization. I enjoy the challenge of having multiple targets and objectives that I need to achieve. As a senior manager, you really get to influence the key decision-makers within an organization. I believe I will get huge amounts of job satisfaction as your senior manager and also, finally, outside of work, I have personal goals that I want to achieve, and those goals will only be able to be realized if I have the position of a senior manager.”

In order to assist you in preparing fully for your Senior Management / Director interview, we have put together a comprehensive list of interview questions and answers to help you prepare.
5 TIPS FOR PASSING THE SENIOR MANAGER / DIRECTOR INTERVIEW!
TIP #1 – Successful senior managers and Directors have one thing in common: they are able to motivate and inspire their staff to believe in, and work towards, their vision. Be able to explain how you plan to motivate and inspire your team to work towards the strategic aims of the company.
TIP #2 – Most organizations who employ senior managers and/or Directors will have set values they expect their staff to work towards. Make sure you research the company values of the organization you are being interviewed for prior to attending the interview.
TIP #3 – Organizational leaders have to demonstrate a unique set of skills and attributes. More notably, these include planning, organizing, taking responsibility for company results, being organizationally aware, having strategic vision, leading by example and also acting as a positive role model for the company. Within your answer to the interview questions, demonstrate your understanding of how important the role is, and how this correlates with the objectives of the organization you are being interviewed by.
TIP #4 – To be successful, you have to be a senior manager or Director who takes risks. However, the risk has to be weighed up against the possible outcomes. During the interview, there is a possibility you will be asked a question focused on your appetite for rick. Whilst you should say you are a risk taker, it is important to explain on what level you would take risks, and more importantly, the risk assessment process you would go through.
TIP #5 – ‘Company culture’ is an essential part of a productive, happy and professional workforce, and we recommend you discuss this during the interview. There are a number of different elements that can all have a positive impact on creating a strong culture within any organization. Our advice is to tell the panel you will spend 4 weeks monitoring and assessing the current culture within the organization, before making any necessary changes based on the culture you wish to see within the company.
3 QUESTIONS TO ASK AT THE END OF YOUR SENIOR MANAGER / DIRECTOR INTERVIEW
QUESTION #1 – Who are the key shareholders and stakeholders of the organization and how much involvement would you need me to have with them within this role?
QUESTION #2 – What are the plans for the company over the next few years?
QUESTION #3 – What are the strategic aims of the organization over the short, mid and long term?
