This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1139 (70% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £74,700, and Forvis Mazars in the UK 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 2132 (IT managers, Oversees audit technology tools and IT systems governance) or SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, Manages lifecycle, governance and stakeholder coordination of tools). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
