Application instructions:

Please submit your CV alongside a video answering the questions below. You can attach it in any format. We're assessing your transferable skills and communication style, so please don't worry about editing or production quality.

• Walk me through a specific task in your last finance role where you used AI or automation to save time or improve accuracy. What did you do, how did you check the output was right, and what would you do differently now?
• Where do you see yourself in two to three years and how could this role at Pubity help you get there?
• It's month-end, you're reconciling the bank and a variance doesn't add up. The deadline is tomorrow and no one is around. How would you prioritise, approach it and decide when to escalate?
