SOC 2440 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and Fujitsu 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, The role is titled Programme Lead and manages programme delivery) or SOC 2131 (IT project managers, The programme involves IT/cloud/digital solutions delivery). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
