This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1258 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £70,100, and Mundipharma 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 1136 (Human resource managers and directors, Manages people/training function; Head of training index entry) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Advises on capability strategy; organisational development consultant). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
