1 Know your stakeholders

Before the interview, do some research on the nonprofit's mission, vision, values, and goals. Identify who are their main stakeholders, and what are their needs, expectations, and challenges. Think of some examples of how you have engaged, communicated, and collaborated with similar stakeholders in your previous or current roles. How did you build trust, rapport, and alignment with them? How did you handle any conflicts, feedback, or complaints? How did you measure and report on your stakeholder satisfaction and impact?

I remember one time at work, as a PM at Cabinet Office, I had to help onboard critical programme stakeholders whom were charities. For someone who hadn't worked with non-profits, I considered it mandatory to thoroughly research the organisation and so I could better understand the context of their role in what we were delivering. But also it was crucial to build a rapport with them. No.1 rule of stakeholders - if you don't know much about them, get to know, ask questions, and show interest. Play into the more human element of stakeholder management because that's how positive, and hence productive, relationships are made for the betterment of the programme!

2 Demonstrate your strategic thinking

As a senior stakeholder manager, you will be expected to have a strategic vision and a clear plan for how to achieve it. You should be able to articulate how your stakeholder management approach supports the nonprofit's overall objectives and priorities. You should also show that you can anticipate and mitigate any risks or issues that may arise from stakeholder interactions. For example, how would you deal with a major donor who wants to change the scope or direction of your project? How would you balance the interests and demands of different stakeholder groups? How would you adapt to changing contexts and situations?

3 Showcase your leadership and interpersonal skills

Managing stakeholders is not only about technical skills, but also about soft skills. You need to demonstrate that you can lead, motivate, and inspire your team and your stakeholders. You also need to show that you can communicate effectively, listen actively, and negotiate diplomatically. You should be prepared to answer behavioral questions that assess your leadership and interpersonal skills. For example, how do you delegate tasks and responsibilities to your team and your stakeholders? How do you deal with difficult or resistant stakeholders? How do you influence and persuade others to support your ideas and proposals?

Observo a cada persona con la mirada de un ni?o que cree en que cada persona tiene la genuina intención de dar lo mejor de sí. Lo que ocurre es que a veces no sabe como, o tiene miedo a algo: perder posición, respeto, lugar, dinero, espacio. Y por lo general, esto último es una inseguridad profunda que se expresa hacia los demás de forma equivocada. Cuando detecto que miedo, intención o fragilidad mueve a la persona o la negociación, no lo confronto, ni resisto, potencio al máximo lo que mejor tiene y es entonces cuando empiezo a determinar acciones estratégicas para sumar cada parte de mi equipo, negocio, o acción para obtener lo mejor de todos. Efecto 1+1 = 10

4 Highlight your achievements and impact

Finally, you should be able to showcase your achievements and impact as a senior stakeholder manager. You should have some concrete examples of how you have delivered successful outcomes and added value to your stakeholders and your nonprofit. You should also have some evidence of how you have evaluated and improved your stakeholder management performance and processes. For example, how do you track and monitor your stakeholder engagement and satisfaction? How do you collect and use feedback and data to inform your decisions and actions? How do you celebrate and share your successes and lessons learned with your stakeholders and your nonprofit?
