SOC 3552 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Bauer Media Outdoor UK 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 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals, Selling advertising space to clients could be advertising account work) or SOC 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers, Managing client portfolio and accounts resembles business development management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
