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 caught an error that would have caused a late or wrong shipment.
What they are checking: Whether they have the attention to detail this role depends on, and whether they check rather than assume.
Describe a time you had to tell a customer something they didn't want to hear about their order.
What they are checking: Whether they communicate bad news clearly and politely with a next step, rather than avoiding the conversation.
How do you support the program manager so they can focus on bigger issues?
What they are checking: Whether they see the coordinator role as taking real work off the program manager's plate, not just passing messages.
What would you do
A customer's purchase order has a price that doesn't match the quote. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they catch discrepancies before entering them and resolve them with the program team rather than guessing.
A customer asks to pull in a shipment by two weeks. How do you find out whether that's possible?
What they are checking: Whether they check with planning and materials before promising, instead of saying yes to keep the customer happy.
You notice the same order-entry mistake happening across several programs. What would you do?
What they are checking: Whether they look for the cause and suggest a fix, rather than correcting each error one at a time forever.
How do you handle a day when three urgent requests come in from three different people?

About the work
Walk me through what happens to a customer purchase order from the moment it arrives until it's entered and acknowledged.
What they are checking: Whether they know the order management steps well, since one wrong price or date flows into planning and billing.
How do you keep track of many open orders, changes and customer requests at once?
What they are checking: Whether they have a real system for organizing their work, so nothing slips when volume spikes.
What experience do you have with ERP systems for order entry, and how do you learn a new one?
What they are checking: Whether they're comfortable working in ERP screens and can pick up a new system quickly and carefully.
