SOC 2422 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £45,800, and Wolfspeed 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 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Business partner role advising on financial planning and strategic decisions). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
At Wolfspeed, we believe the most powerful innovations are created by people who care deeply about what they build and why it matters. As the leader in silicon carbide technology, we are enabling a more sustainable, electrified future, one breakthrough at a time.

At Wolfspeed, we believe the most meaningful work happens when innovation and purpose come together. As the global leader in silicon carbide technology, we are powering the future of energy, enabling cleaner transportation, more efficient power systems, and solutions that make a lasting impact on how the world works. But our success is not driven by technology alone. It's driven by people.
Just as we take ownership of our technology leadership, we take accountability for how we show up for our employees, our customers, and the communities we serve. That's how we power the future, together.
