This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2493 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and National Grid 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 2432 (Marketing and commercial managers, Campaigns manager marketing index entry; role involves campaigns and stakeholder engagement) or SOC 1133 (Public relations and communications directors, Head of internal communications index entry; senior communications leadership role). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
