About the role
This interview is for an executive who owns the commercial engine of an e-commerce business. The panel is assessing how you set growth strategy, manage profit and loss, govern pricing, build partnerships and keep forecasts credible. Good answers separate revenue from value creation and make the economic trade-offs visible to other leaders.
How to prepare
- Prepare a commercial plan that connects market opportunity, customer behaviour, revenue, contribution and cash.
- Review how you calculate unit economics across products, categories, channels and customer groups.
- Think through pricing responses to inflation, exchange-rate movement, competitor discounts and supplier funding changes.
- Prepare a partnership negotiation with the value, risks, alternatives and governance clearly explained.
- Rehearse how you would explain a forecast miss and the corrective decisions to an executive team.
Common mistakes
- Presenting revenue growth without discussing margin, cash or retention.
- Responding to competitor prices without considering elasticity, availability or customer value.
- Valuing a partnership only by its headline fee or discount.
- Explaining forecast misses as surprises rather than examining assumptions and controls.
