What do you envision as your next step after the senior program manager role?

Remember to research or ask colleagues what they know about career path options within the company you are interviewing for. Various companies have several levels between titles while others progress more quickly. Ensure that your answer makes sense for the interview. Alternatively, provide a generic answer such as 'I'd like to move into a senior leadership role with direct management responsibilities.'

"I enjoy program management and I can see myself in this role for a while. After that, I would like to pursue a director role within a PMO. I genuinely enjoy working with multiple areas of a company, providing governance, improving operations, and growing others professionally. My understanding is the PMO directors here at XYZ company perform those functions, and I think I could grow to be a great fit for that role if the timing was right and the opportunity was available."
