Interview approaching for a director of growth strategy at f100. Responsible for leading team of 10. Have never done a growth strategy project. Can prob get thru interview cases by prepping same way I did for consulting but am I taking a huge risk of failure if I get the job?

I think the tougher part of this role will be to effectively support and utilise the 10 team members. Go through the process and youll learn more about the expectations

I have experience leading large teams, but again, in the context of a consulting engagement. Not sure how this would differ in an industry role. Imagine easier since you can develop teammates and retain them longer-term, meaning they get more reps and are less dependent on you than say a consultant you work with for 2 months on a project they may or may not have ever done before and are learning from scratch.

Get the offer first, then worry about this. Also, when your team in industry is 10 people, your job isn't to guide them through every single step as if you were running a consulting project with a team of new hires. Your job will he more coaching, project management, upward reporting, red tape cutting, and generally being responsible for outcomes. That stuff generally doesn't require growth project experience.

like

Trust their process to identify the best candidate. Don't lie in the interviews and say you have a bunch of experience, so that when they hire you they'll know what you need help with. If you bill yourself as some sort of growth strategy expert then yes you're setting yourself up for failure. Companies hire on potential all the time.
