This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3556 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and Major Players | B Corp™ 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 2432 (Marketing and commercial managers, Selling influencer marketing campaigns could be seen as marketing management) or SOC 3552 (Business sales executives, Sales executive role if the selling is more transactional). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
