SOC 1132 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £87,300, and Linedata 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 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers, Sales accounts and business development managers if role is more hands-on selling than directing) or SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors, Financial services director if focus is on financial institutions management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
