This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1134 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,700, and Goodman Masson is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3551 (Buyers and procurement officers, If the role is more hands-on buying than leading the function), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Goodman Masson what the duties actually are.

Does this job guarantee visa sponsorship?
Not necessarily. Goodman Masson holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.

The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 1134 going rate of £54,700. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
