This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3571 (80% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Capital One 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 1136 (Human resource managers and directors, Strategic advisory to leaders and shaping hiring strategy could indicate management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
