This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3116 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and M Group is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 4131 (Records clerks and assistants, Scheduling and data management clerical work could fit records clerk), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask M Group what the duties actually are.
