Consider what success means to you. Tell the interviewer how you view success and be sure to mention the success that you plan to bring to this particular position, should you be offered the role.

"I define success by my ability to reach the goals that are set for me. On a personal level, those goals are the things I wish to achieve in my life. On a work level, they are the targets that are set for me and the professional development that I seek."

I would define success as achieving the goals that are set for me. Whether it's a goal set by either me personally or a team, there is a sense of there isn't anything we could have done better. I view success as a process in which challenges encourage me to look at things from a different perspective to find a creative solution to problems. Facing these challenges allows me to progress personally and hopefully progress toward company objectives.
