Problem Statement
Do you have experience working with external vendors? / How do you manage third-party teams?
Explanation
Yes, I have worked with external vendors where I was responsible for defining clear deliverables, managing contracts, conducting regular review meetings, and ensuring quality standards were met. I learned to communicate expectations very explicitly, set up proper governance with milestones and quality checkpoints, and build professional relationships based on mutual respect and transparency. When a vendor was underperforming, I addressed issues promptly through escalation and worked collaboratively to get back on track, which taught me the importance of proactive vendor management and clear accountability.
