The above results in:

Exception when calling BatchV1Api->create_namespaced_job: (401)
Reason: Unauthorized
HTTP response headers: HTTPHeaderDict({'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Date': 'Wed, 12 Jun 2019 22:21:21 GMT', 'Content-Length': '129'})
HTTP response body: {"kind":"Status","apiVersion":"v1","metadata":{},"status":"Failure","message":"Unauthorized","reason":"Unauthorized","code":401}

Am I perhaps meant to include the certificate? If so how do I specify this?

I have added the cluster-admin ClusterRoleBinding for this service account:

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: cloud-function-job-create
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: cluster-admin
