SOC 2431 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,200, and Teneo 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 2421 (Chartered and certified accountants, Insolvency practitioner index entry; role heavily involves insolvency assignments) or SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors, Manages junior staff and financial advisory workstreams). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
