How to apply

Send your CV. Solve one problem.

We care more about how you think than about your CV. Attach your CV to the email and answer this, on one page at most.

The problem

Pick a real business in your city: a restaurant group, a wholesaler, an accountancy firm, anything with a busy team. Using only public information, show us how you'd turn it into an ABR client.

Start with the business you chose: name, city, website. Then:

  1. The process. One task that wastes their team's time, and how you spotted it.
  2. The cost. Hours and money a year, with your working.
  3. The fix. What ABR could build for them, in two lines.
  4. The first message. What you'd send the owner to get a 30-minute call. 120 words max, in English for London, in Italian for Milan.
  5. Your tools. Which AI tools you used, and how.

The button opens an email with the subject and these five points ready to fill in. Attach your CV as a PDF. Writing from another device? Send it to careers@appliedbusinessrealities.com with "Application: Business Developer, London" or "Milan" in the subject. We use your application only to assess it, as explained in our privacy policy.
