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 Reed 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 1243 (Managers in logistics, If supply chain management is the primary focus rather than purchasing). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
