This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3556 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 53% sure that is the right code. Hill's Pet Nutrition 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 2432 (Marketing and commercial managers) or SOC 1132 (Marketing, sales and advertising directors). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
