Hey all! Would love to hear your fave/go-to questions to ask in the phone screen part of an interview process as the job seeker? Thanks!

is this to HR or the hiring manager? I usually have different questions. For HR I keep it pretty general, but for the hiring manager I dig into why is the role open, whats the leadership team like, what's their management style like, what problem are they trying to solve with content. I interview for director and above roles, so I also ask questions about how to get things done--is it a heavily matrixed org, what kind of cross functional dependencies there are, how does one get their projects prioritized, what kind of resources, team staffing etc. I also try to get a good understanding of the role they see content play in the company-- do they see it as a key strategic business driver or is it more of an afterthought or something they think they should have but don't know what to do with.

Something else that I've been asking more is understanding the culture of the org and marketing org (assuming the content role lives in marketing). Is it heavily performance/bottom of funnel driven or brand/creative driven? Or a healthy mix of both? This helps me understand if the work will align with what I enjoy.
