Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about an insight you found that changed where a company decided to invest. How did you get people to act on it?
What they are checking: Whether their research has moved real business decisions rather than ending in a deck no one used.
How do you earn a seat at the table with a small, fast-moving team that may see insights as a slow step?
What they are checking: Whether they can make research feel like an accelerator and build credibility with senior decision makers.
Tell me about a time you had to make a recommendation with incomplete data and a tight timeline.
What they are checking: Whether they can be decisive and honest about confidence levels instead of waiting for perfect information.
What would you do
Leadership is excited about an acquisition target, but your consumer data suggests the occasion it serves is shrinking. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they will deliver an unwelcome finding clearly and with evidence when money is on the line.
About the work
You have point-of-sale data, syndicated research and social listening, and they tell slightly different stories about an adjacent category. How do you reconcile them?
What they are checking: Whether they understand each source's blind spots and can triangulate rather than cherry-pick the convenient one.
How would you size and prioritize a growth opportunity in a category Conagra doesn't play in today?
What they are checking: Whether they can move from consumer behavior to a defensible view of how big and how winnable an opportunity is.
Once we pick an opportunity area, how do you turn it into innovation criteria like eating attributes, flavors, preparation, claims and price points for a product brief?
What they are checking: Whether they can translate fuzzy consumer needs into specifics that product developers can actually build against.
What behavioral science principles do you lean on most when you study food choices, and how have you applied one?
What they are checking: Whether their behavioral science is practical and tied to real decisions, not just named frameworks.
How would you use insights to help shape a new brand's positioning and package design?
What they are checking: Whether they can carry consumer understanding all the way into how a product is presented on shelf.
How do you tell the difference between a real emerging behavior and a short-lived trend on social media?
What they are checking: Whether they have the discipline to separate durable demand from noise before the company invests behind it.
