      Programme Manager Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NESTA in Feb 2021

      Interview

      The interviewers were kind and friendly. The interview was 45 minutes of standard competency and technical questions around challenges and prizes as well as management style (very similar/identical to questions already on glassdoor). To my surprise, I found the interviewers' answers to my own questions about team/work culture and strategy to be less inspiring than I expected.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Describe one of Nesta's challenge prizes that most interests you and how you would add value to it as Programme Manager. 2. What is a challenge and what are the strengths and weaknesses of using them in international development? 3. What is your experience and approach to line management? 4. What are the key attributes/skills needed for managing stakeholders? 5. How have you adjusted to working from home? 6. Tell us about a challenge/problem you encountered and how you resolved it.
