I picked a product I use every day thinking familiarity would help.
Choose a well-known product you understand deeply (e.g., Google Maps) to demonstrate product sense and analytical rigor. Start by articulating the product's core goals and north-star metrics, then outline a monthly business review deck that connects metrics to strategy, highlights insights, and drives decisions. Structure your answer to show how you would tailor the deck for leadership, focusing on clarity, actionability, and alignment with company objectives.
Pro tip: Frame the deck around a clear narrative: start with the 'so what' (key takeaways and asks), then support with data. Leadership cares less about raw numbers and more about what decisions they need to make and how you're steering the product.
Pick a product you know well (e.g., Google Maps) and state its mission and 2-3 core goals (e.g., user engagement, monetization, ecosystem growth). Explain how these goals ladder up to company objectives.
Define the north-star metric and supporting metrics (e.g., DAU/MAU, session duration, revenue per user). Explain how they measure progress toward the goals and how you would track them monthly.
Propose a slide-by-slide structure: executive summary, goal progress, metric deep dives, wins/challenges, competitive landscape, user feedback, and asks/next steps. Emphasize a logical flow from high-level to details.
For each section, describe the type of insights you'd include (e.g., trends, anomalies, cohort analysis) and how you'd translate them into recommendations or decisions for leadership.
Explain how you'd customize the deck for an executive audience: concise, visually clear, focused on strategic implications, and ending with clear asks (resources, approvals, strategic shifts).
