SOC 2133 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,900, and Metropolitan Gaming 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, Manages MSP relationships and budgets, some managerial duties). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
