SOC 2432 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,100, and Profiles Creative 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 1132 (Marketing, sales and advertising directors, Strategic leadership and senior commercial team involvement could suggest director level) or SOC 3544 (Data analysts, Heavy analytics and attribution modelling focus could fit data analyst). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
