Welcoming questions

  1. Can you tell us about yourself and how you found your way into product marketing?
  2. Which launch or positioning project are you most proud of, and what impact did it have?

Role-specific / technical competencies

  1. Walk us through how you develop positioning for a product from scratch. What inputs do you gather first?
  2. How do you plan a product launch, and how do you define whether it succeeded?
  3. How do you run win-loss analysis, and can you share an insight from one that changed your strategy?
  4. What makes sales enablement content actually get used instead of ignored? Give an example from your work.
  5. How do you keep competitive intelligence current, and how do you decide what is worth reacting to?

Behavioural & culture fit

  1. Tell us about a time product and sales disagreed about messaging. How did you resolve it?
  2. Describe a launch that underperformed. What went wrong and what did you change afterward?
  3. How do you build credibility with a sales team as a new product marketer?

Problem-solving / case

  1. Our product wins on features but loses deals to a cheaper competitor. How would you reposition it?
  2. We are launching a major feature in eight weeks with no product marketing done yet. Outline your plan.
  3. Sales says leads do not understand what the product does. How do you diagnose whether messaging is the problem?
