SOC 1139 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £74,700, and WAYMO UK LTD. 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 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, Programme management office role; project management professional focus). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
