Thirty minutes on context
What does the company sell, who to, and what changed recently? Enough to ask one question nobody else asks.
Forty minutes on stories
Prepare four examples you can adapt: a hard decision, a failure you owned, a result you drove, and a collaboration that was difficult.
Twenty minutes on your questions
Ask about how the team measures success and what the first ninety days look like. The answers tell you whether the role is real.
