No experience as such for your particular case, but fwiw you seem excellently verbose and well presented - it would be great if you spoke with the same clarity, balance and precision at your interview. You seem to have it all covered; there is always the element of a crapshoot about them though, isn't there ? You might just get a dick interviewing you or they might just have seen their 'perfect candidate', or someone who's got in through nepotism or an outside allegiance.. Nonetheless, you seem to know exactly what they'll be looking for for the position, so you're several 'good questions' ahead. Try to work out what it is they love about their company and ask proper questions about the company's positioning and vision of itself. Be pleased by their answers - if they're nice people, they'll want to please you even more, and that'll please them and they'll like you. It's all sales, they're selling you and vice versa, so matching people's tone and pace and mirroring their body language is all good. If you ask them a good enough question that they get genuinely excited and happy, 'anchor' the moment by either scratching your chin, or making a specific movement with your hands, put one on one knee, etc. Then when you want to positively influence them, redo that action and they'll feel good but not know why. Ask lots of questions that they can answer with a positive, happy 'yes'.
Best of luck :)
