This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2440 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and Goldman Sachs 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, Risk analysis and advisory focus could fit management consultant). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
