The interview consisted of questions and a presentation of ten minutes at the start of how I would approach the challenge of building up the organisation's capacity in this new space.

The process included submitting a cover letter and CV, and then I had two interviews. The first was a shorter, less formal interview. The second required me to prepare information and a presentation ahead and was demanding. I spent days preparing at all stages. I can't recall if I needed to do a written exercise as well, but this is often standard practice at Nesta for many roles.
