This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2494 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £46,000, and Sovos 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 1136 (Human resource managers and directors, Focus on partner training and enablement could be HR/talent development) or SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., Senior functional director role not fitting other specific groups). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
