This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 4122 is an eligible occupation, and GAC Group is a licensed sponsor, but this role does not currently meet Skilled Worker sponsorship requirements.
This could also be SOC 4129 (Financial administrative occupations not elsewhere classified., Some duties like business analysis and reporting go beyond book-keeping). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
