This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2433 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £55,100, and Quanteam UK 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 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Advert mentions advisory/consulting and managing client relationships) or SOC 1258 (Directors in consultancy services, Role is at SVP/Director level in consultancy). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

Not necessarily. Quanteam UK holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.
