This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2134 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,700, and Cytel 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 2433 (Actuaries, economists and statisticians, Statistical analysis and reporting of clinical trial data is core work). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
