As a business advisory and consulting firm, AlphaSights Ltd works with managers, directors, CEOs, CFOs, CAOs, and leaders with other titles. Your role will involve working with these leaders. Your interviewer wants to hear that you are comfortable working with their clients' leadership teams. Make sure that the examples you provide include some details on how you worked to get the job done with the leaders you worked with.
"In my current role, I work under our Chief Financial Officer and sit on a couple of committees that our Chief Executive Officer is on. Under the direction of my CFO, we have a great working relationship. I am comfortable approaching him at any moment with questions or bringing forward new ideas. He is aware of my strengths and respects my opinions on matters in my wheelhouse, so he never hesitates to come to me with important things. I think the keys to our strong relationship are the respect we show for each other and our open lines of communication."
"I feel fortunate to have worked with employees at all levels of the organizations that I've worked with. Working with anyone requires a personal touch and a respectful approach. Whether I work with front-line sales staff or members of the C-Suite, I take the time to get to know the person, their job, and how I can best help them in my role. This approach helped me build a relationship with a Sales Executive that a few of my colleagues had struck out with in recent interactions."

In my past positions, I've reported to a variety of leaders from US directors, to global retail directors, and company presidents. I've also worked indirectly with all internal department heads. I've worked for brands that have very high-profile clients, including celebrities and executives. I've worked with these high-level people in various capacities, including day-to-day activities, daily communication, quarterly meetings, events, and informal dinners. At every step of the way, I maintain professionalism and respect, always tuning in to each individual's motivation and needs for communication in order to foster the most beneficial relationships.
