Stakeholder Influence and Communication - this is very important, we will want to hear from you when you've influenced stakeholder decisions based on data and insights also how do you usually engage with them. Have examples prepared when you have dealt with stakeholders in your previous roles for example, questions could be around when you have dealt with a challenging stakeholder or when you had to persuade someone to see things your way.
