SOC 2482 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,200, and London Metal Exchange 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 3544 (Data analysts, Role involves data analysis and reporting on market data usage) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Role includes business analysis and recommending corrective action). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
