SOC 1136 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £52,900, and Michael Page 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 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, Project-focused role managing compensation projects and planning cycles) or SOC 3571 (Human resources and industrial relations officers, Analyst-level compensation work if role seen as specialist rather than managerial). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
