This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1255 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,900, and Onnec 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 1258 (Directors in consultancy services, If the design consultancy focus outweighs creative industry management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
