This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2482 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,200, and Tesco 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 1136 (Human resource managers and directors, Strong HR focus and business partnering with People teams) or SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, Risk manager is a direct index entry for this code). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
