This role is aimed at a strong business graduate who can demonstrate critical thinking, understand AI and software basics,
and work closely with live client projects. This is not a remote role and it is not a pure coding role.

How to use this section
This section is designed to test your own critical thinking, judgement and reasoning.
Your answers will be checked by our AI scoring model and then reviewed by a human decision-maker. The purpose of the AI stage is to help score and organise responses more efficiently, not to make a final hiring decision on its own.
Your responses are intended to be scored for recruitment purposes only. They are not being requested for reuse as a training dataset, and a human will remain in the loop throughout the process.
You must answer in your own words. The use of AI to generate, rewrite or materially shape your answers is not acceptable and may result in your application being rejected.
If you progress to interview, we may ask follow-up questions around the same topics to confirm how you think, how you reached your answer, and whether the response genuinely reflects your own judgement.
Keep each answer to no more than 100 words. The full test is timed and should not take longer than 3 minutes.
Time remaining: 03:00
