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 a time a forecast missed badly. What did you learn and change?

What they are checking: Whether they own forecast misses honestly and improve the process, which builds credibility with the leaders who rely on the numbers.

How do you lead a team of about 16 people with only three direct reports?

What they are checking: Whether they can lead a larger team through managers, setting direction and standards without being involved in every detail.

How do you explain GTN results to commercial leaders who aren't finance experts?

What they are checking: Whether they can turn complex results into clear business implications, so commercial leaders can act on them confidently.

What would you do

Market Access proposes a contract with deep rebates. How do you evaluate the net sales impact?

What they are checking: Whether they can model a contract's full net effect, including volume gains against rebate costs, to guide a sound decision.

Brand Finance and Market Access disagree on a key assumption. How do you resolve it?

What they are checking: Whether they can resolve assumption disputes with data and clear reasoning, so partners accept the forecast rather than relitigating it.

About the work

Walk me through how you build a gross-to-net forecast for an immunology brand.

What they are checking: Whether they understand every step of a gross-to-net forecast, since errors in any component distort the net revenue leaders rely on.

What are the biggest drivers of GTN volatility, and how do you forecast them?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the specific drivers of gross-to-net swings, like rebates and 340B, and can forecast them with sound assumptions.

How does the IRA Medicare negotiation process change price forecasting for affected products?

What they are checking: Whether they understand how Medicare negotiation changes net price outlooks, since it directly affects long-range revenue for affected products.

How do you keep a consistent net sales story across Plan, LBE and LRP?

What they are checking: Whether they keep assumptions consistent across planning cycles, so leaders get one credible story about net sales rather than conflicting numbers.

What controls do you put in place to make sure forecasts are supportable and accurate?

What they are checking: Whether they put real controls on forecasts, like reviews and documentation, because pricing forecasts feed financial reporting and investor expectations.

How would you forecast price for an oncology product facing biosimilar or generic entry?

What they are checking: Whether they understand how loss of exclusivity reshapes price and volume, since these forecasts drive major business planning decisions.
