Phone screening, followed by face to face with some of the technical team. Fairly unstructured interview covering commercial aspects such as marcoms, social media and documentation. Some technical questions, based around the job spec that called for a computer science degree plus three years mobile development.
Interviewed by technical manager (NOT sales, marketing or business development management). So
no questions around capabilities such as customer understanding, user experience, agile management, proposition development, pricing, profit and loss, market / product planning, partnership development, channels to market and roadmap development.
Opportunity to ask technical team questions about their product offering (simple HTML / Cordova apps, not native IoS / Android apps) and local app competitors in Derby & Nottingham. Questions regarding target market, comms budget (paid social media) and effect of free Infinity AppStore offering impacting current subscription services answered less convincingly by the technical team.
Job withdrawn by CommonTime, now readvertised as Product Manager but with same tactical emphasis on api documentation, release notes, blogs, training, demos.
