SOC 2422 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £45,800, and Global University Systems 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 3534 (Financial accounts managers, Portfolio management and asset management in financial services) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Value creation, strategy consulting and business analysis focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
