SOC 1131 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 45% sure that is the right code. Lockton is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 3534 (Financial accounts managers) or SOC 2421 (Chartered and certified accountants). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
