Staff Level Growth Leadership Questions

Evaluates understanding of what it means to operate at the staff growth level rather than as an individual contributor. Candidates should explain how they set strategy and vision for growth areas, build and mentor teams, create repeatable processes, and institutionalize an experimentation culture. Topics include defining team goals and success metrics, hiring and developing growth talent, delegating and prioritizing across multiple squads, influencing product and engineering roadmaps, stakeholder management across functions, governance and decision frameworks, and measuring team level impact. Interviewers will look for the ability to move from running individual experiments to owning long term growth direction, coaching others, and aligning growth initiatives to business and product objectives.
