This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1258 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £70,100, and SCALED SOLUTIONS 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 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., If the role is more generic functional management without consultancy-specific focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
