This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3552 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 45% sure that is the right code. ActiveOps is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 7113 (Telephone salespersons), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask ActiveOps what the duties actually are.

- Develop and manage sales plays, and run demand generation campaigns

- Able to understand a customer's pain points and connect them to the value we can deliver
- Driven, resilient and competitive, with a real desire to master the craft of selling
