This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1243 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,900, and Amazon is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 1242 (Managers in storage and warehousing, Strong focus on inventory and warehousing operations), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Amazon what the duties actually are.
