SOC 3556 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 56% sure that is the right code. Origio Limited is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 3552 (Business sales executives). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
