SOC 2132 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,000, and Tesco Technology is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
In 2025, Tesco Technology assigned 6 or more Certificates of Sponsorship for SOC 2132 jobs, according to the Home Office.
This could also be SOC 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers, Product manager title matches sales/business development index entry) or SOC 2432 (Marketing and commercial managers, Product marketing manager could fit if marketing focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
