Go-to-market
Sales (AE / SDR)
Enterprise buyer runs a live discovery call. Expect MEDDIC, BANT, a budget objection, a competitor mention, and a close that asks for a concrete next step and a champion.
Strategy
Consulting
Partner-led case. Market sizing, profitability drivers, market entry. MECE your structure, defend the estimate, land a crisp recommendation, handle three follow-up probes without breaking frame.
Leadership
Behavioral
Hiring manager drills leadership stories STAR-by-STAR. A conflict with a peer, a decision that went sideways, a time you led without authority. Follow-ups on what you would do differently.
Leadership
Engineering Manager
Director pushes on a missed quarter, an inherited underperformer, and a tech-debt-vs-ship trade-off. Defend your ship bar, your 1:1 cadence, and your coach-or-exit call with numbers.
Analytics
Data & Analytics
Head of growth drops a dashboard showing a silent 20% drop. Form hypotheses, request the right cohort cuts, design the A/B, and tell them whether it is real or instrumentation.
Go-to-market
Marketing
CMO challenges your positioning against a better-funded competitor. Define the wedge, rebuild the funnel, defend the CAC payback, pitch the first 30-day play with channel and budget.
Finance
Finance (FP&A / IB)
CFO walks the three-statement model. Defend the unit economics, explain last quarter's variance, size a raise if revenue slips 15%, and take one pointed DCF-assumption challenge.
Execution
Operations
COO hands you an unscalable process and a 30-day fix. Find the bottleneck, propose the SOP, quantify the cycle-time win, and name the one metric you will defend at review.
Founding
Founder
Sceptical seed investor asks why now, why you, why not a feature. Defend the wedge, early traction, unit economics, and the 18-month plan if the top-of-funnel channel dries up.
Craft
Design (Product)
Head of product pulls apart your portfolio. Defend the research behind each call, the trade-offs you made under time, and redesign one of their live screens on the spot.
Retention
Customer Success
VP of CS walks a live churn save. Read the health signals, disarm a hostile champion, rebuild the QBR narrative, land the renewal, tee up a credible expansion hook.
Strategy
Strategy & Chief of Staff
A chief of staff pressure-tests your 3-year bet. One scarce resource, two market scenarios, one non-negotiable from the CEO. Show your framework and defend the trade-off you would actually make.
