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 strategy project where your recommendation was not what the senior leader wanted to hear.

What they are checking: Courage and tact in delivering a hard answer backed by evidence to an executive sponsor.

This is a newly created team. How would you work in a group still defining its own processes?

What they are checking: Comfort with ambiguity and the initiative to create structure rather than wait for it.

Tell me about a slide or memo you wrote that drove a real decision. What made it work?

What they are checking: Executive communication skill, leading with the answer and supporting it cleanly.

How do you manage several high-priority strategy projects for different leaders at once?

What they are checking: Prioritization and expectation setting when every sponsor believes their project comes first.

What would you do

Membership growth in a region came in well below plan. How would you figure out why?

What they are checking: Hypothesis-driven diagnosis that separates product, price, distribution and competitive causes.

You're partnering with a business unit leader who sees your team as outsiders. How do you earn their trust?

What they are checking: Whether they build credibility through listening and shared goals, given the dotted-line partnership setup.

About the work

Medicare Advantage is the majority of Humana's revenue. What forces do you think matter most to growth in that market right now?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the Medicare Advantage business, including star ratings, risk adjustment, benefits and competition.

Walk me through how you would structure a strategy project on whether to enter or expand in a new Medicare Advantage market.

What they are checking: Structured problem solving that gets to a recommendation, not an endless list of considerations.

Give me a quick estimate of how many people age into Medicare in a mid-sized state each year, and how you got there.

What they are checking: Comfort with back-of-the-envelope sizing and stating assumptions out loud under some pressure.

How do you build a financial model for a growth initiative so leaders trust it?

What they are checking: Whether they keep models transparent with clear drivers and sensitivity, so executives can test the logic.

How would you think about growth in Medicaid differently from Medicare Advantage?

What they are checking: Whether they see that state contracts, procurement cycles and populations make Medicaid growth a different game.
