Do your research and rehearse! Read everything you can about the position you’re interviewing for and understand the challenges in such a role.

Practice saying your story outload to yourself, repeating it until you are happy with the answer.

Come energized and show you’re motivated. In some cases, high motivation can compensate for lack of exact experience for a role. We are all human after all (!) and seeing a candidate with great passion will make the interviewer remember you and trust that where there is a will, there is a way.
