Next Steps
We aim to run a fair, inclusive process that helps people show what they can really do.
Stage 1: Apply (via Applied)

Stage 2: Short practical exercise (video)
If you progress, we’ll send you a short brief and a few suggested technologies you could use. You’ll then have time to go away, create a simple prototype or generate an insight in response to the brief, and record a short video walking us through what you have produced and why.

We’ll share full details, timelines and support as you progress. We’re happy to make reasonable adjustments at any stage.
Use of AI in applications
You can use AI to help draft your answers, but remember, we are looking for your experiences and insights, not generic or AI-generated responses.
We score for specific, real examples and your own judgement. If your answers read like AI output or could describe anyone’s experience, they will score poorly.
We are receiving excellent responses to our job advertisements. This may lead us to close the role early, so if you are considering applying, then please get your application in early to avoid missing out.
