SOC 2421 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £49,200, and Pay.UK 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 2132 (IT managers, Specialises in technology and cyber audit, IT audit focus) or SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., Supervises Audit Managers and leads audit function). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
