This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2431 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,200, and KPMG UK 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 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, Engagement delivery and risk management resemble project management work) or SOC 1258 (Directors in consultancy services, Manager title and business development could suggest consultancy director). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
