Planning Manager Interview Questions

1,227 planning manager interview questions shared by candidates

There were many items they asked me. The recruiting manager interview was largely about prior work experience and a general personality-fit interview. The director only had 3-4 main questions that we had in-depth conversations about. One of them being what I could offer to the analysts that I would be managing. Another being the type of manager I want to be and what my philosophy is for that and also how I would want to be managed. The Financial Systems manager and Pricing director interview was a pretty free flowing conversation after going through my background. The CFO asked me about my technical background, specifically SQL, if there ever was a time a stakeholder asked me for information that I did not have, and some others. The overall theme of that conversation was ensuring I was adaptable and resourceful enough to work in an environment where I would have to find creative ways to find data and manipulate it to get the output or analysis I needed.
