About the role
This is a broad leadership interview for the person accountable for an e-commerce channel or business. The panel will test your command of strategy, profit and loss, digital trading, customer experience and cross-functional delivery. They want a leader who can make clear investment choices and distinguish profitable growth from impressive but fragile sales numbers.
How to prepare

- Prepare an example of changing channel strategy when customer or commercial evidence challenged the original plan.
- Review how you balance acquisition, retention, assortment, pricing and promotional intensity.
- Think through how product, technology and operations constraints alter a digital trading plan.
- Prepare a leadership example involving difficult choices between several well-supported priorities.
Common mistakes
- Using gross sales as the only evidence of success.
- Treating the website as separate from merchandising, payments, fulfilment and customer support.
- Recommending more acquisition spend before diagnosing conversion and retention.
- Describing consensus as leadership without explaining the final decision and its consequences.
