This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2432 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,100, and TalentPool 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 2161 (Research and development (r&d) managers, Insight manager is an index entry; role has strong insight focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
