SOC 2482 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,200, and A&O Shearman 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 2132 (IT managers, IT manager title and IT function focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
