This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1241 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 47% sure that is the right code. Harvey Nash 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 1243 (Managers in logistics). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
