This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2482 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,200, and ASOS.com 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 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., Head of role with senior leadership, but main job is privacy/compliance not general management) or SOC 3520 (Legal associate professionals, Data protection officer is listed here, but role is more strategic/leadership). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
