SOC 3556 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and RCK Partners 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 1132 (Marketing, sales and advertising directors, Title says 'Senior' and 'Manager' but no team management described) or SOC 3552 (Business sales executives, Core work is selling complex finance products to clients). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
We are a specialist consultancy practice based in the City of London, specialising in innovation funding and tax relief. Since incorporation in 2020, we have quickly risen to market leading prominence and now firmly sit within the top providers in the industry. Our impact on the industry has gained recognition from the likes of former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Philip Hammond, who now Chairs our Board; as well as numerous Tax Award nominations.
Your Background
You have experience in selling complex finance products and have built a strong network of relevant contacts including CEO's/CFO's/MD's of owner managed businesses. You are someone who has either sold complex finance products directly into their companies, or you operate as a referral partner. R&D industry experience is highly desirable, but wider relevant finance business development experience coupled with attitude, drive and potential are the criteria that matter most.
Why this role is different
We're looking for ambitious, resilient and commercially driven individuals who thrive on challenge, competition and achievement.
This role is about creating opportunities, building relationships and influencing outcomes.
You'll work directly with business owners, CFOs and senior decision-makers across some of the UK's most innovative businesses to support their innovation journey.
Success comes from your ability to:
- Open doors and start conversations.
- Build credibility quickly.
- Understand what matters to clients.
- Influence decisions.
- Follow through relentlessly.
- Turn opportunities into long-term partnerships.
- You thrive in environments where resilience, discipline, accountability and determination matter.
- You've been trained to perform under pressure, adapt quickly and deliver results regardless of circumstance.
- You want to be the best.
- You know what commitment looks like.

✔ Handle rejection without losing confidence
✔ Build trust quickly
✔ Communicate persuasively
✔ Consistently find ways to win
