This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2161 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,400, and Ipsos in the 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 1132 (Marketing, sales and advertising directors, Title says Director and index has 'Director — market research') or SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., Index has 'Research director' and manages research team). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
