This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2431 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,200, and Revolut is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3319 (Protective service associate professionals not elsewhere classified., Financial crime manager/investigator index entry fits the FinCrime operations lead), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Revolut what the duties actually are.
