Tell me about your experience managing a marketing team. How do you structure and develop it?
Note: This is a management interview, so the subject is people and outcomes, not campaigns. Talking only about your own work is the most common mistake here.
Cover:
- Team size and shape. How many people, what specialisms, and whether they were generalists or specialists. Also agencies and freelancers, since managing those is a distinct skill.
- How you organised the work. By channel, by funnel stage, by product line, or by squad. Say why that structure suited the business — the reasoning matters more than the choice.
- How you developed people. Concrete examples: someone you promoted, a skill gap you closed through hiring or training, or how you gave someone stretch work.
- What you were accountable for — budget size, pipeline or revenue target, and whether you hit it.
Naming someone whose career advanced under you is the single most persuasive thing you can say.
