This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3554 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Gymshark Ltd 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 3412 (Authors, writers and translators, If the role were primarily translation/localisation rather than marketing copywriting.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
