This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1131 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £75,100, and Fidelity International 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 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, Role involves project management of product launches and changes) or SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., Senior functional manager role not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
