SOC 2135 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,500, and ION 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 2482 (Quality assurance and regulatory professionals, Compliance focus with ISO 27001 audits and regulatory adherence) or SOC 1137 (Information technology directors, Title says manager but no people management described). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
