SOC 2455 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,300, and SYSTRA LIMITED 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 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Consultancy and business analysis focus, but main work is modelling). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
