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 you had to say no to a powerful stakeholder's request. How did you do it?

What they are checking: Whether they can prioritize openly and keep the relationship, since platform teams get pulled in many directions.

Tell me about a data product you launched that people did not adopt at first. What did you change?

What they are checking: Whether they learn from adoption problems and adjust, rather than blaming users.

How do you explain the value of a data platform investment to business leaders who just want features?

What they are checking: Whether they can connect behind-the-scenes data work to outcomes that business leaders care about.

What would you do

Our Enterprise Data Platform handles ingestion, resolution, standardization and quality. Where would you start to understand what the business lines need from it?

What they are checking: Whether they start with business users in leasing, property management and capital markets, not with the tech stack.

Two business lines define a property differently and both want the platform to use their definition. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they can drive agreement on shared definitions, which is the hardest and most valuable part of data standardization.

How do you work with engineers on a backlog for a technical platform you do not build yourself?

What they are checking: Whether they are technical enough to make tradeoffs with engineers and earn their trust.

How would you handle a data quality issue that has already reached a client-facing report?

What they are checking: Whether they act quickly, communicate clearly and fix the root cause so it does not happen again.

About the work

How do you build a roadmap for a data platform whose customers are other product teams?

What they are checking: Whether they understand platform product management, where success is enabling others, and value is often indirect.

What is entity resolution, and why would it matter for property and tenant data at a firm like JLL?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the core data problem of matching the same building or company across many systems.

How do you measure the success of a data platform?

What they are checking: Whether they think about adoption, data quality and downstream outcomes, not just pipelines shipped.
