Interviewing for a Corp strategy role and first interview (after recruiter) is with a senior exec in HR for 90 minutes. Rather than anyone I would be working with day to day. What is typically discussed? Seems long?
Any tips on what to prepare beyond standard stuff is greatly appreciated.

So anecdotally, it’s also assessing where you want to steer the future of the function you’d be responsible for and any opportunities for improvement.

Make sure the role isn’t hr. Some strategy roles are HR.

What level are you coming in at? Senior exec meetings are usually very high level and talking about industry trends and assessing fit.

Thanks. VP ...
