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 BlackLine 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 1132 (Marketing, sales and advertising directors, Global Account Director title and strategic leadership could suggest director level) or SOC 3552 (Business sales executives, Enterprise account executive focus on selling platform solutions). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
