SOC 1255 (82% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,900, and Tileyard Music is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers, Role involves pitching and selling songs; selling to external parties) or SOC 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals, Scouting talent and music promotion aspects overlap). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

At least 2 years' experience in A&R, publishing, artist management or a closely related music industry role.
