Do you have experience leading technology development projects? If so, can you describe the types of projects and the functions you performed.
Not all program managers at Facebook lead technology solution development initiatives, but the products of Facebook are all technology-based. Interviewers ask this question to determine a candidate's level of experience in this area as they will likely coordinate with technology development teams at some time during their work in the program manager role.
Remember to describe the roles you had responsibility over in your role as a technology project manager or program manager. It is important to offer a sense of the breadth of management experience you have this area including the management of cross-functional teams.
"The job I held previous to my current role was a project manager position for a financial services SasS product. I managed projects to develop features for the API and mobile functions of our product.
I managed a cross-functional team that included product managers, systems analysts, engineers, and quality assurance analysts. I was also responsible for coordinating the work of shared resources such as architects, database administrators, support analysts, support engineers, and consultants as needed."
