SOC 1137 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 36% sure that is the right code. HSBC 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 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals) or SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
