Hi there, I applied for a Risk director position for a Cancer Agency in Canada. The Risk Director will be responsible for Risk Management Department for the management of the Agency's risk related matters for 6 of its centres across the province including its research centres as well. I have direct risk management experience from my previous role and I am a strong candidate for sure. I passed the panel interview which was with the corporate director who I will be reporting to and two other risk directors from different departments of the organization. The corporate director contacted my references immediately which I believe is a good sign. She actually is very close to one of my references (also a risk director) who trained me. I know that my references provided awesome references for me. But the process isn't over yet. I have to meet 4 of the VPs at the Cancer Agency for their approval. I was told by the corporate director that this meeting will NOT be a formal interview and that it will be quite informal.
My question is, I've never been through this type of 2nd interview with people at that level (VPs) so I'm not sure what to expect or how to prepare. I'm guessing that they want to meet me and see what kind of a person I am more so than to assess my competency in the role. Also, I'm wondering if this might be an opportunity for the VPs to meet a couple or three possible candidates and pick the best one. My colleagues think that this is unlikely since the corporate director who I will be reporting to was so eager and contacted my references already and that she would be presenting the best candidate to the VPs.
Anyone have similar experience or can shed some light onto this mystery?
