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 process you've seen that was more complicated than it needed to be. What would you have changed?

What they are checking: Whether they naturally notice waste and think about how to remove it, which is the whole point of this role.

Tell me about a time you had to verify information you were told was true. What did you find?

What they are checking: Whether they double-check details, since process maps built on wrong assumptions lead to bad changes.

Tell me about a group project where you worked with people from different backgrounds or majors.

What they are checking: Whether they collaborate well across functions, which the posting names as a daily part of the job.

What would you do

How would you go about documenting a process you know nothing about?

What they are checking: Whether they would talk to the people doing the work and watch it, rather than writing from assumptions.

What they are checking: Whether they think about handoffs, approvals and systems that tend to slow down service work.

You're interviewing someone about their workflow and they seem defensive. How do you handle it?

How would you explain a recommended change to a team that's comfortable with the way things are?

What they are checking: Whether they can explain the why and the benefit in plain terms that people will accept.

About the work

Have you ever made a process map or flowchart? Walk me through how you built it.

What they are checking: Whether they can turn a messy real process into a clear visual others can follow.

What data would you gather to prove a process change actually helped?

What they are checking: Whether they measure before and after instead of assuming an improvement worked.

What tools are you comfortable with for documentation and analysis, like Excel, Visio or PowerPoint?

What they are checking: Whether they can produce clear documents and analysis on their own from day one.
