Product Development Manager Interview Questions

394 product development manager interview questions shared by candidates

Based on some general questions that the company representative mentioned earlier in our conversation, not having the correct degrees. I asked if each NPD Team had a representative that owned a stake in the project. Such as Engineering and R & D and if so, were they responsible for completing project deliverables?

They were very interested in experience and examples of sourcing and procurement responsibilities. Negotiating with vendors, costing, MOQs, etc. Most potential candidates from bigger beauty companies (like ELC, Coty, etc) most likely won’t have this experience as a product developer, as there are typically sourcing and procurement teams with these responsibilities.
