This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3556 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 41% sure that is the right code. Howden 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) or SOC 3531 (Brokers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
