      Public Policy Manager Interview

      6 July 2026

      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Guardian News & Media (London, England) in June 2026

      Interview

      I had an in-person interview where the interviewers were very friendly and put me at ease. The recruitment manager had informed me what to expect with competency based questions so there weren't too many surprises there! Communication was very good with 1 week to prepare for the interview and 1 week to hear back results. The hiring manager even phoned to give me feedback which is pretty much unheard of (I personally would have preferred bad news via email but do appreciate the sentiment).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      • Why the Guardian and the role? • What are some of the biggest policy problems facing news organisations? • Tell me about a time when you needed to get up to speed quickly on a policy area. • Tell me about a time when you worked on a policy/public affairs campaign and you influenced a change in policy/stakeholders you worked with • What is your favourite part of the Guardian or favourite journalist? • If your colleagues could describe you and your attitude to work, what would they say your strengths were? • On the other hand, what would they say about your biggest weakness?
