SOC 3552 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and NOVISTO LTD 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, If the role involves managing sales accounts and strategy rather than just outbound lead generation) or SOC 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals, If the role is more marketing-focused than sales-focused). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
