We know that AI is an increasingly useful tool and we’re happy for you to use it to research and help form an answer, but you should not submit wholly AI generated answers – we will be checking!

• Six months into the role, you have developed a strong understanding of the team's processes and begin noticing inefficiencies. For example, multiple team members are maintaining separate spreadsheets containing similar information, resulting in duplicated work, inconsistent data, and occasional errors. How would you identify opportunities for improvement, gain buy-in from colleagues, and implement a more efficient process without disrupting day-to-day operations?

• Can you describe a time when you had to say 'no' or challenge a request from a manager or colleague? How did you handle the conversation while maintaining a positive working relationship?

• It is the week before a major client event. You are currently coordinating delegate registrations, producing sales reports for senior management, arranging travel for the sales team, and responding to incoming client queries. During the same morning, three urgent requests arrive from different salespeople, all claiming their task is the highest priority. How would you assess and prioritise your workload? What steps would you take to ensure all stakeholders remain informed of progress, and how would you manage expectations if some deadlines were at risk?

We are an inclusive employer. Please let the recruitment team know if you have a disability, condition or difference that may require us to make adaptations.
