This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3552 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Sky 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 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers, Manages a defined territory with accountability for results, closer to a manager role). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
