This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3556 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,200, and LRQA 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 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., If managing people is the main focus rather than product) or SOC 2132 (IT managers, If the role is primarily IT/digital platform management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

The Senior Product Manager owns the Client Experience journey, our client portal and marketplace, end to end as a product. The role is accountable for the experience clients have of LRQA across these platforms, and for the value a great experience creates: delighting clients, building a genuine differentiator in the market, and supporting stronger relationships, retention and margins as a result. It owns the product vision and roadmap, runs continuous discovery with clients and data, and works across the organisation to drive the wider improvements that make the experience excellent. It makes strong use of AI tools to work and prototype at pace, and looks for where AI can make the client experience genuinely better. The focus is on outcomes for clients and the business, not output alone.

- Use AI tools to accelerate research, synthesis and prototyping, so ideas can be tested with clients quickly.

- Senior product management: substantial experience owning a digital product or client experience end to end, focused on outcomes for clients and the business.
- Client and experience focus: a strong instinct for what makes an excellent client experience, and for using products as a differentiator in the market.
- AI fluency: solid, hands-on experience using AI tools for research, prototyping and delivery, and working with fast, AI-assisted engineering to ship quickly with delivery teams.
- Continuous discovery: a strong discovery practice, understanding clients deeply and letting research and data guide the roadmap.
- Roadmap ownership: building and prioritising a roadmap, and focusing effort where it creates the most value.
- Commercial awareness: understanding pricing, cost-to-serve, and how product decisions support revenue, margin and retention.
- Driving change: working across an organisation to improve the processes and ways of working that shape the client experience.
- Stakeholder engagement: credible and clear with executives and commercial leaders, and comfortable engaging widely across the business.
- Domain awareness: experience in assurance, certification, B2B platforms or two-speed service models is an advantage.
