This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2440 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and B&M STORES LTD 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 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., If the role manages a programme delivery function with direct reports) or SOC 2131 (IT project managers, If the role directly manages IT project delivery). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
