This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2133 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and Stress Man Limited 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 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Business analyst title and business requirements focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
