This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2432 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,100, and Brodies LLP 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 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals, If the role is more execution-focused than managerial) or SOC 1132 (Marketing, sales and advertising directors, If the role includes directing marketing strategy and budget). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
