SOC 3549 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and StoryStream 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 account growth and client relationships). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
