About the role
A marketplace operations intern supports the daily flow of listings, orders and seller issues. The interview looks for careful execution, sensible prioritisation and the ability to investigate an exception before escalating it. Strong answers show that you understand how a small data or process error can affect customers and sellers.
How to prepare
- Trace the basic path of a marketplace order from listing and payment through dispatch and delivery.
- Practise prioritising a queue using customer impact, urgency and the number of orders affected.
- Review how to record checks and actions in a concise operational note.
- Prepare an example of finding the cause of an error rather than only correcting the symptom.
- Think about when an intern should act, ask for help or escalate an issue.
Common mistakes
- Changing a listing or order record before checking the source of truth.
- Working through tasks only in arrival order without assessing customer impact.
- Escalating an issue without including the checks already completed.
