This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2421 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 43% sure that is the right code. Coppice 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 3534 (Financial accounts managers) or SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
