This role may not meet Skilled Worker requirements
SOC 3554 is an eligible occupation, and VisitScotland is a licensed sponsor, but this role does not currently meet Skilled Worker sponsorship requirements.
This could also be SOC 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers, Job title includes 'Market Development' and mentions account management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
