If a business is looking to hire a strategy manager, the company wants to find someone who can help them grow. When interviewing with a company, expect to answer questions about your knowledge of the industry, organization skills, decision-making skills, and ability to communicate effectively in a leadership position.
What is your management style?
Use your answer to this question as an opportunity to explain your job experience. Instead of using labels or buzzwords, give a personal response that highlights your communication skills as a manager, your organization skills, and your ability to guide a team towards success.
What makes a strategy effective?
Interviewers ask this question because they want to be sure you understand the industry and the requirements of the position. Explain in detail how you created effective strategies in the past, highlighting key components of the process that you can use again with their company.
How do you keep up with changes in the industry?
The industry is always changing, no matter what company you're applying to work for. Be sure to inform interviewers of your research process so they know you're up to date with the latest news and information in the industry and you can use your knowledge to draft new and innovative strategies. You can also explain to an employer how you would help their company adjust to the latest changes in a positive way.

There seemed to be 2 types of interviewers - skills and fit interviewers. They asked *very* different questions - the hiring manager and the two people on the team asked specific scenario questions and dug into examples with me. The other two (that were not part of the team I was applying to join), asked culture questions, family questions, past job experience questions (best/worst experience, how you handled, what did you think of that). Not hard questions, but you were being evaluated all the same.
