Working in a matrixed organization means you have multiple people you are accountable to, often with competing priorities. It can be complex to navigate in this space, so the interviewer wants to know you can handle working in this environment.

"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."

Previously I reported to my boss in the UK but also reported on separate projects directly to Japan. With the time difference, it was sometimes 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 Teams with this person. I felt like our emails weren't necessarily the most effective means of communication.
