This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1139 (72% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £74,700, and Practicus 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, If role were primarily project/programme delivery rather than senior functional leadership.) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, If focus were advising on business improvement rather than leading transformation programmes.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
