About the role
This is an executive interview about the technology foundations used across an organisation, including cloud, networks, workplace services and recovery capability. The panel wants to see a coherent investment strategy, calm command of operational risk and the ability to lead managers, suppliers and senior stakeholders.
How to prepare
- Prepare a transformation example that connects infrastructure investment to a clear business need.
- Review one major outage and explain governance, communications, recovery decisions and long-term changes.
- Be ready to compare cloud, hosted and on-premises options using cost, control, skills and resilience.
- Outline how you assess supplier concentration, contract performance and exit risk.
- Prepare evidence of building leadership capacity and clearer accountability across an infrastructure organisation.
Common mistakes
- Presenting a cloud migration as the strategy rather than explaining the business outcomes it supports.
- Discussing uptime without recovery testing, dependency mapping or service ownership.
- Focusing on technology choices while overlooking people, suppliers and operating discipline.
