In conversation for a role “two levels from” C-suite at a F250 (they found me). Have had a couple good chats with my potential boss there. It seems they want me but I still have lots of qs about the role and their strategic agenda with the BU they want me to help build.

They’re now asking me to fly out and meet with their CEO.

How do I approach this? Do I treat this as a pitch? How do I frame my reservations? Do I come in with a deck? Not interviewed for an external role since I was a Senior 😬

Please no decks. If you’re working with some contacts there you can ask them how the CEO prefers the meetings. From the post it seems like you have a number of reservations and want the CEO to win you over.

I would want to hear direct from the CEO how they envision the BU and ask questions through the flow of conversation. It’s a chance for the two of you to get to know each other and see if you want to work with each other. It’s a good chance to see how serious they are and how much effort they put in to ensuring the BU is a success.
