This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2440 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and Gresham 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 2131 (IT project managers, IT product suite implementations could be coded as IT projects) or SOC 1139 (Functional managers and directors not elsewhere classified., Programme management oversight and mentoring suggests programme manager role). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
