This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1132 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £87,300, and Benugo 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 events is an index entry; role leads event sales team). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
