SOC 2422 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £45,800, and Morningstar 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, Financial modelling and risk analysis could fit management consultant role) or SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors, Vice president title, but no people/budget management described). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
