This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3133 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and S&P Global 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 2142 (Graphic and multimedia designers, Heavy design/visualisation focus with Adobe Creative Suite and infographics) or SOC 2491 (Newspaper, periodical and broadcast editors, Editorial direction and digital-first storytelling responsibilities). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
