About your past

Walk me through a client analytics engagement you led from requirements gathering to the final executive presentation.

Tell me about a time the data you pulled had quality problems partway through a project. What did you do?

What they are checking: Whether they catch data issues, tell the client honestly and adjust plans instead of hiding them.

Describe a time your analysis led a client to a decision they would not have made otherwise.

What they are checking: Whether their work creates measurable client value rather than reports that sit unused.

How do you guide DSA analysts on your engagements while keeping the quality of the work high?

What they are checking: Ability to delegate, review and coach, since the delivery lead is accountable for the whole team's output.

What would you do

A client keeps adding requests that were not in the contracted scope. How do you handle it?

How do you validate a credit risk model before you share results with a client?

What tools do you use for data extraction and modeling, such as SQL, Python, SAS or R, and how do you choose?
