3 interviews, one writing test. Spoke to senior strategy manager, head of department and executive head. Interviews explained roles, questioned motivation. Written test for competence with mock proposal outline that was timed. Entirely remote process.
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter within a week. I answered some basic questions and was referred to a recruiting coordinator who set up my interview. The interview lasted 2-3 hours. I was told somebody would be in touch within a week. I was never contacted. I reached out to the recruiter and she said she would contact the interviewers and follow up.
