Working in a matrixed organization means you have multiple people you are accountable to, often with competing priorities. Speak about your experience working with multiple leaders and how that structure promoted innovation. If you don't have experience in this type of organizational structure, be honest but demonstrate that you can thrive in any type of environment. Discuss the skills you possess that would be transferable and allow you to be successful in this setting (effective communicator, collaborator, self-organizational skills, etc.).

"Currently I report to a leader here in the US, but my functional leader is in the UK. With the time change, it can be difficult for us to reach each other, so I changed my hours slightly to be in the office earlier so I could talk more via Skype with this person. I felt like our emails weren't necessarily the most effective means of communication. With my leader in the US and I try very hard to keep her in the loop about what I'm doing and make her feel like I'm including her in my decisions. After a month or so of trial and error, I have a nice system down now."

"I have not worked in a structure where teams report to multiple leaders, but I do know that structure is designed to help companies create more innovative solutions. I'm very flexible and have no problem reporting into one leader or multiple leaders. I think the key to success in a matrix organization is effective communication, and I possess the skills to be successful in that type of environment. I also think this structure would provide a lot of learning and development opportunities for me since I would be working with diverse teams of people, experiences and backgrounds."
