SOC 3544 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 38% sure that is the right code. CITIGROUP LIMITED 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 2482 (Quality assurance and regulatory professionals) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
