SOC 2133 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and UNITY ADVISORY OPCO 2 LIMITED 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 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Advisory/consulting context and client-facing role could fit management consultancy). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
