About your past
Tell me about a time you coached someone on your team who was struggling. What did you do and how did it turn out?
What they are checking: whether they have a real track record of developing talent, not just supervising
Describe a situation where Sales, Marketing, and Product all wanted different things from the Salesforce roadmap at the same time. How did you resolve it?
What they are checking: skill at prioritization and stakeholder negotiation under real conflict, not hypothetical diplomacy
Tell me about a complex Salesforce integration project that went sideways. What was your role and what would you do differently now?
What they are checking: depth of real delivery experience with integrations, and honesty about mistakes
Tell me about a time you had to explain a technical tradeoff to a non-technical business leader who didn't want to hear it.
What they are checking: ability to translate technical reality into terms that move a business decision
Describe how you've handled a case where two engineers on your team disagreed strongly on a technical approach and it was starting to slow the team down.
What they are checking: conflict resolution skill and whether they can make a call without alienating people
What would you do
Walk me through how you'd structure your first 90 days leading a team of Salesforce engineers and admins you've never worked with before.
What they are checking: whether they have a deliberate approach to earning trust and assessing a team versus just jumping in
How do you decide when to push back on a business stakeholder who wants something fast that you think will hurt data quality or architecture down the road?
What they are checking: whether they can balance speed-to-market pressure against long-term platform health without just deferring
Someone on your team missed a release deadline because scope kept shifting. How do you handle that conversation with them and with the stakeholders waiting on the release?
What they are checking: how they manage both people accountability and upward communication under pressure
How do you scope a Salesforce project when the requirements are genuinely ambiguous and stakeholders don't fully know what they want yet?
What they are checking: comfort with ambiguity and a repeatable method for turning vague asks into a plan
About the work
You're not the one writing the code anymore. How do you stay credible in architectural discussions and actually guide technical direction without being hands-on?
What they are checking: whether they can lead technically through influence and judgment rather than needing to be the smartest coder in the room
How have you used AI-assisted tools in engineering work, whether coding, testing, debugging, or documentation, and how do you get your team to adopt them without cutting corners?
What they are checking: genuine hands-on comfort with AI tooling versus a rehearsed answer
What does a good design review or incident retrospective actually look like on your team? Give me a real example.
What they are checking: whether operational discipline is a genuine habit or just a phrase from the job posting
What's your approach to estimating and prioritizing work across a backlog that spans quick wins for Sales and long-term platform investments?
What they are checking: practical delivery management skill, not just theoretical prioritization frameworks
