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 The Green Recruitment Company 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, Focus on business development and sales pipeline). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
